A Hessian-Based Method for Uncertainty Quantification in Global Ocean State Estimation

Derivative-based methods are developed for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in large-scale ocean state estimation. The estimation system is based on the adjoint method for solving a least-squares optimization problem, whereby the state-of-the-art MIT general circulation model (MITgcm) is fit to obser...
