Open-Ocean Modeling as an Inverse Problem: The Primitive Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ill-posedness of regional primitive equation models is examined, using a regional shallow-water model. The ill-posedness is resolved by reformulation as a least-squares inverse problem, in the sense that the Euler-Lagrange ...
Generalized Inverse of a Reduced Gravity Primitive Equation Ocean Model and Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A nonlinear 2½-layer reduced gravity primitive equations (PE) ocean model is used to assimilate sea surface temperature (SST) data from the Tropical Atmosphere?Ocean (TAO) moored buoys in the tropical Pacific. The aim of ...
Generalized Inversion of Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean (TAO) Data and a Coupled Model of the Tropical Pacific. Part II: The 1995–96 La Niña and 1997–98 El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The investigation of the consequences of trying to blend tropical Pacific observations from the Tropical Atmosphere?Ocean (TAO) array into the dynamical framework of an intermediate coupled ocean?atmosphere model is ...
Generalized Inversion of Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean Data and a Coupled Model of the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is hypothesized that the circulation of the tropical Pacific Ocean and atmosphere satisfies the equations of a simple coupled model to within errors having specified covariances, and that the Tropical Atmosphere?Ocean ...
