Processes Coupling the Upper and Deep Ocean Over Topography: Towards Improving Model Initialization and Data Assimilation

Abstract

Our long-term goals are to improve understanding of physical processes in energetic jets and eddies, and feedbacks between motions in the thermocline and deep abyss over topography; and to develop new model initialization and data assimilation techniques based on more adequate representation of the physical processes in both the main thermocline and deep ocean.
