Abstract: The mass budget of the ocean in the period 1993?2003 is studied with a general circulation model. The model has a free surface and conserves mass rather than volume; that is, freshwater is exchanged with the atmosphere via ...

Abstract: A variational inverse technique is applied to assimilate sea surface height (SSH) measurements into a simple eddy-resolving quasigeostrophic ocean model. The data used were measured by Geosat in the spring of 1987 in an ...

Abstract: mpirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis is commonly used in the climate sciences and elsewhere to describe, reconstruct, and predict highly dimensional data fields. When data contain a high percentage of missing values ...
