The time-averaged circulation of the north Pacific Ocean : an analysis based on inverse methods

Creator:

Zaron, Edward D.

Abstract:

The time-averaged velocity field in the North Pacific was estimated in two sets of inverse calculations. The planetary geostrophic equations were the basis for dynamical models of the flow in each case. The inverse estimates of the circulation were obtained by minimizing a positive-definite cost function, which measured the inconsistency...
