Abstract: A two-layer finite depth, primitive equation model of the Gulf Stream region is used to study the effect of updating the model with simulated altimeter data as observations. In this study both a complete field of sea surface ...

Abstract: he impact of the assimilation of ocean observations on reducing global Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) 48-h forecast errors is presented. The assessment uses an adjoint-based data impact procedure that characterizes ...

Abstract: The impact of the number of satellite altimeters providing sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) information for a data assimilation system is evaluated using two comparison frameworks and two statistical methodologies. The ...
