The adjoint method of data assimilation used operationally for shelf circulation
A real-time shelf circulation model with data assimilation has been successfully used, possibly for the first time, on the outer Nova Scotian Shelf, The adjoint method was used to infer the time histories of flows across ... -
The mean surface circulation of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre: A comparison of estimates derived from new gravity and oceanographic measurements
A new mean sea surface topography (MSST) is used to estimate the surface circulation of the subpolar gyre of the northwest Atlantic. The MSST is produced using a new geoid model derived from a blend of gravity data from ... -
Predicting mesoscale variability of the North Atlantic using a physically motivated scheme for assimilating altimeter and Argo observations
A computationally efficient scheme is described for assimilating sea level measured by altimeters and vertical profiles of temperature and salinity measured by Argo floats. The scheme is based on a transformation of ... -
The detection of coastal-trapped waves
The authors outline a simple method for estimating the cross-spectral matrix of coastal-trapped wave amplitudes, A, from a set of oceanographic observations. Specifically, they propose that A may be estimated by ... -
Extraction of tidal streams from a ship-borne acoustic Doppler current profiler using a statistical-dynamical model
We present a method for extracting the barotropic tide directly from the time-space series of horizontal velocity obtained by a ship-borne acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The method is conceptually straightforward, ... -
