The technology is presented for modeling and prediction of marine hydrophysical fields based on the 4D variational data assimilation technique developed at the Marchuk Institute of Numerical Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences (INM RAS). The technology is based on solving equations of marine hydrodynamics using multicomponent splitting, thereby solving an optimality system that includes adjoint equations and covariance matrices of observation errors. The hydrodynamic model is described by primitive equations in the sigma-coordinate system, which is solved by finite-difference methods. The technology includes original algorithms for solving the problems of variational data assimilation using modern iterative processes with a special choice of iterative parameters. The methods and technology are illustrated by the example of solving the problem of circulation of the Baltic Sea with 4D variational data assimilation of sea surface temperature information.
