Abstract: An analytical and numerical study of isolated coherent vortices and topography is presented. The motivation for this work comes from many observations of vortices influenced in trajectory, propagation, and decay by encounters ...

Abstract: In practical applications of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) for ocean data assimilation, the computational burden and memory limitations usually require a trade-off between ensemble size and model resolution. This is ...

Abstract: Two global ocean analyses from 1993 to 2001 have been generated by the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), as part of the Ocean Data Assimilation for ...
