A dynamical method for assimilation of altimeter data into ocean models

A method is developed here for the assimilation of surface restricted satellite data into three dimensional numerical ocean models. Satellite altimetry provides observations of the dynamic topography i.e. the time variations in sea surface height, which provides some constraints on the three dimensi...
