Abstract: AbstractOpen boundary conditions (OBCs) of the M2 tidal constituent in the Bohai and Yellow Seas (BYS) were inverted successfully through assimilation of TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) altimeter data. An improved independent points ...

Abstract: AbstractA new method for the inversion of bottom friction coefficients (BFCs) in a two-dimensional tidal model is proposed in this study. In this method, the field of BFCs is constructed by interpolating values at independent ...

Abstract: AbstractSnow depth is an important geophysical variable for investigating sea ice and climate change, which can be obtained from satellite data. However, there is a large number of missing data in satellite observations ...

Abstract: AbstractThe spline interpolation method is applied to the inversion of the time-varying pollutant emission rate based on an ocean pollutant diffusion model with the adjoint method. A series of numerical experiments are ...

Abstract: AbstractA lot of tidal phenomena, including river tides, tides in ice-covered bays, and internal tides in fjords, are nonstationary. These tidal processes present a severe challenge for the conventional tidal analysis ...

Abstract: AbstractAs an effective tool to distinguish different tidal components, classical tidal current harmonic analysis has been widely used to obtain harmonic parameters of internal tidal currents. However, harmonic parameters ...
