Estimating the Rotation Rate of Mesoscale Ocean Rings from Satellite Altimetry
2006
Bennett, Theodore J | Jr
The mesoscale ocean environment has considerable impact on underwater acoustics. However, the ocean is such a data-sparse environment, especially at depth, that it is difficult to make effective ocean nowcasts and forecasts of the environment. A key input to nowcasts and forecasts is the rotation rate of mesoscale ocean rings. This report presents a technique for determining the rotation rate from satellite altimetry. The technique offers the prospect (if a cost-effective system for monitoring this key ocean parameter. Tactical scale models, Ocean models, Data assimilation.
