Abstract: | The results of numerical experiments involving data assimilation by a non-linear model for synoptic dynamics of the ocean are given. The results of application of simplified optimal filtration algorithms (with the correlation error function being parametrized for both linear and non-linear variants) and of the optimal interpolation are intercompared. The use of a non-linear equation to predict average values and a linear one to predict dispersion in the filtration algorithm is suggested as most appropriate for the cases, when anisotropy of the correlation function is to be included. In other cases, it is considered worth-while to apply optimal interpolation.Translated by V. Puchkin. |
