Optimal adjustment of the atmospheric forcing parameters of ocean models using sea surface temperature data assimilation

In ocean general circulation models, near-surface atmospheric variables used to specify the atmospheric boundary condition remain one of the main sources of error. The objective of this research is to constrain the surface forcing function of an ocean model by sea surface temperature (SST) data assi...
