A 30 Historical Year Analysis of the California Current Circulation using 4-Dimensional Variational Data Assimilation

Abstract

The Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) 4-Dimensional Variational (4D-Var) data assimilation system has been used to compute a three decade long sequence of analyses of the ocean circulation along the U.S. west coast. A brief overview of the ROMS 4D-Var system and the circulation variability in the resulting analyses will be presented.
