Inverse Modeling of Ocean Tides

Abstract

The principal long term goal of this project is to develop a practical, portable, nested, tidal data assimilation scheme which makes use of all available data (e.g., altimetry data, current moorings, coastal radar) to constrain barotropic and baroclinic tides (especially tidal currents) in coastal areas and shallow seas. A second long term goal is to develop more efficient methods for assimilation of very large oceanographic data sets.
