Ocean Weather Forecasting An Integrated View of Oceanography

Ocean Weather Forecasting: An Integrated View of Oceanography The field of physical oceanography has matured to a point where it is now conceivable to combine numerical models and observations via data assimilation in order to provide ocean prediction products on various spatial and time scales. As...
