Variational Data Assimilation of Tides

This paper presents an incremental variational method to assimilate the observed tidal harmonic constants using a frequency domain linearized shallow water equation. A cost function was constructed with tidal boundary conditions and tidal forcing as its control (independent) variables. To minimize t...
