Estimation of friction parameters in gravity currents by data assimilation in a model hierarchy

This paper is the last in a series of three investigating the friction laws and their parametrisation in idealised gravity currents in a rotating frame. Results on the dynamics of a gravity current (Wirth, 2009) and on the estimation of friction laws by data assimilation (Wirth and Verron, 2008)...
