Data-assimilation studies of marine, nitrogen based ecosystem models in the North Atlantic Ocean
The overall goal of this work is to investigate the performance of ecosystemmodels and to relate their results to existing observations in the NorthAtlantic. Therefore different data assimilation methods are applied. Avariational adjoint technique and a micro-generic algorithm ($\mu$GA) areutilized...
