Abstract: The performance of data assimilation methods in an idealized three-dimensional time-dependent coastal baroclinic model is assessed by computing ensemble error statistics. The analytical representer solution allows for ...

Abstract: Sixty-day simulations of the subinertial continental shelf circulation off Oregon are performed for a hindcast study of summer 1999. In Part I, the model results are shown to compare favorably with in situ currents and ...

Abstract: An idealized, linear model of the coastal ocean is used to assess the domain of influence of surface type data, in particular how much information such data contain about the ocean state at depth and how such information ...

Abstract: Results from a model of wind-driven circulation are analyzed to study spatial and temporal variability in the bottom mixed layer (BML) on the mid-Oregon shelf in summer 2001. The model assimilates acoustic Doppler profiler ...

Abstract: Sixty-day simulations of the subinertial continental shelf circulation off Oregon are performed for a hindcast study of summer 1999. Model results are compared with in situ currents, high-frequency radar?derived surface ...
