Abstract: A data assimilation approach to specify open boundary conditions is proposed. The boundary values are determined from the solution of the special optimization problem: minimization of the difference between the model and ...

Abstract: A solution to an optimization problem is developed that deals with minimizing a measure of difference between the values of observed and predicted variables at an open ocean boundary. Minimization is based on the change ...

Abstract: A series of 2-week predictions were made with a general circulation model for 12 winter cases selected from the period 1964?69. All were January cases. The same prediction model?the most sophisticated and probably the most ...

Abstract: The focus of this paper is on the development of methodology for short-term (1?3 days) oceanic bioluminescence (BL) predictions and the optimization of spatial and temporal bioluminescence sampling strategies. The approach ...
