Observing the Ocean from Space: Emerging Capabilities in Europe
(Chapter, 2001-12)During the first decade of the 21st century Earth observation from satellites will be faced with two major demands: provision of continuity missions and launch of new exploratory missions. This paper addresses European ... -
Ocean data assimilation systems for GODAE
(Oceanography, GODAE Special issue feature, Journal article, 2009-09)Ocean data assimilation has matured to the point that observations are now routinely combined with model forecasts to produce a variety of ocean products. Approaches to ocean data assimilation vary widely both in terms of ... -
On the effect of a sill on dense water formation in a marginal sea
(Journal article, 2008-05)The properties of water mass transformation in a semi-enclosed basin, separated from the open ocean by a sill and subject to surface cooling, are analyzed both theoretically and numerically using an ocean general circulation ... -
Open Boundary Conditions for the Extended Kalman Filter With a Quasi-Geostrophic Ocean Model
(Journal article, 1993-05-18)The formulation of consistent boundary conditions for the quasi-geostrophic (QG) model with an extended Kaiman filter in a data assimilation scheme is discussed. To form a well-posed boundary value problem for the QG model, ... -
Parameter Estimation Solving a Weak Constraint Variational Formulation for an Ekman Model
(Journal article, 1997-06-15)A weak constraint variational formulation is used for inverse calculations and parameter estimation in a one-dimensional Ekman model. When parameters in the model are allowed to contain errors, the inverse problem becomes ... -
Passive tracers and active dynamics - a model study of hydrography and circulation in the northern North Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-08)A long-standing problem in oceanography has been to understand the relationship between what can be measured in the ocean, such as hydrography, and what cannot, such as the strength and structure of the complete Meridional ... -

Resistance and heat-transfer laws for stable and neutral planetary boundary layers: old theory advanced and re-evaluated
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005-07)The planetary boundary layer (PBL) resistance and heat-transfer laws express the surface fluxes of momentum and heat through the PBL governing parameters. Since the late sixties, the dimensionless coefficients (A, B and ... -

Semi-empirical Algorithm for the Retrieval of Ecology-Relevant Water Constituents in Various Aquatic Environments
(Journal article, 2009-03-10)An advanced operational semi-empirical algorithm for processing satellite remote sensing data in the visible region is described. Based on the Levenberg-Marquardt multivariate optimization procedure, the algorithm is ... -
Sequential data assimilation with a nonlinear quasi-geostrophic model using Monte Carlo methods to forecast error statistics
(Journal article, 1994-05-15)A new sequential data assimilation method is discussed. It is based on forecasting the error statistics using Monte Carlo methods, a better alternative than solving the traditional and computationally extremely demanding ... -
Subpolar Gyre Index and the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in a Coupled Climate Model
(Journal article, 2008-11-16)The subpolar gyre index (SPG), derived from the analysis of sea surface height (SSH), is proposed to be a potential indicator for the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) based on observation as well ... -
Surface Atmospheric Temperature as Indicator of Climate Change in the Arctic
(Conference poster, 2005-12)Surface atmospheric temperature (SAT) is one of the most reliable atmospheric characteristics used to quantify climate change. Contrary to what has been always implicitly assumed, changes in the SAT have loose relations ... -
Universal Dependences between Turbulent and Mean Flow Parameters in Stably and Neutrally Stratified Planetary Boundary Layers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-05-08)We consider the resistance law for the planetary boundary layer (PBL) from the point of view of the similarity theory. In other words, we select the set of the PBL governing parameters and search for an optimal way to ... -
Using the Extended Kalman Filter with a Multilayer Quasi-Geostrophic Ocean Model
(Journal article, 1992-11-15)The formulation of the extended Kalman filter for a multilayer nonlinear quasi-geostrophic ocean circulation model is discussed. The nonlinearity in the ocean model leads to an approximative equation for error covariance ... -
Validation and intercomparison studies within GODAE
(Journal article, 2009-09)During the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE), seven international operational centers participated in a dedicated modeling system intercomparison exercise from February to April 2008. The objectives were: ... -
