Inverse Modeling of Ocean Tides
The principal long term goal of this project is to develop a practical, portable, nested, tidal data assimilation scheme which makes use of all available data (e.g., altimetry data, current moorings, coastal radar) to constrain barotropic and baroclinic tides (especially tidal currents) in coastal areas and shallow seas. A second long term goal is to develop more efficient methods for assimilat...
متن کاملMonitoring Sea Level in the Coastal Zone with Satellite Altimetry and Tide Gauges
We examine the issue of sustained measurements of sea level in the coastal zone, first by summarizing the long-term observations from tide gauges, then showing how those are now complemented by improved satellite altimetry products in the coastal ocean. We present some of the progresses in coastal altimetry, both from dedicated reprocessing of the radar waveforms and from the development of imp...
متن کاملTidal prediction using time series analysis of Buoy observations
Although tidal observations which are extracted from coastal tide gages, have higher accuracy due to their higher sampling rate, installing these types of gages can impose some spatial limitation since we cannot use every part of sea to install them. To solve this limitation, we can employ satellite altimetry observations. However, satellite altimetry observations have lower sampling rate. Acco...
متن کاملThe Contribution of Improved Altimetry to a Study of Nw Mediterranean Sea Coastal Dynamics
Monitoring the dynamics of marginal oceanic systems remains a complex and challenging task, owing to the wide spectrum of spatial and temporal scales of the oceanic processes occurring there. On one hand, sustained in situ observations are generally too sparse in coastal areas despite the development of initiatives by international programs. On the other hand, remote sensing techniques for rout...
متن کاملReconstructing Large- and Mesoscale Dynamics in the Black Sea Region from Satellite Imagery and Altimetry Data - A Comparison of Two Methods
Two remote sensing methods, satellite altimetry and 4D-Var assimilation of satellite imagery, are used to compute surface velocity fields in the Black Sea region. Surface currents derived from the two methods are compared for several cases with intense mesoscale and large-scale dynamics during low wind conditions. Comparison shows that the obtained results coincide well quantitatively and quali...
