Monitoring of the large-scale dynamics of the ocean based on the assimilation of satellite data

An examle of satellite monitoring of the large-scale dynamics of the eastern sector of the tropical Atlantic Ocean in April 1990 is considered. As the satellite-derived data, a series of averaged 5-day maps of the remote data on the upper ocean temperature field obtained from satellites of the NOAA series was used. The profundity of the effect of the satellite data is estimated. Recommendations are provided. for selecting the regions most appropriate for rapid analysis of the circulation using satellite data.Translated by Mikhail M. Trufanov.
