ROMS/TOMS Tangent Linear and Adjoint Models: Testing and Applications

Abstract

Our long-term technical goal is to produce a tested tangent linear and adjoint model for ROMS/TOMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System/Terrain-Following Ocean Modeling System) that is suitable for general use by ROMS/TOMS modelers. This is complementary to the Kalman Filter, ESSE, and Green s Functions techniques being developed in other contexts. Our long-term scientific goal is to model and predict the mesoscale circulation and the ecosystem response to physical forcing in the various regions of the world ocean through ROMS/TOMS primitive equation modeling/assimilation.
