Abstract

Error Covariance Matrix Open Boundary Condition Simple Ocean Data Assimilation Background Error Data Assimilation
In this chapter we will describe a comprehensive 4-dimensional variational ocean data assimilation system that is currently being used in the Regional Ocean Model System for the production of both near real-time and historical ocean analyses of the California Current circulation. The main focus of this article is on the practical aspects of the data assimilation system as applied to an energetic coastal mesoscale circulation environment.
