Determination of Mid-Depth Synoptic (10-Day) Circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean from Argo Position Data Using the Optimal Spectral Decomposition Method
Great advantages of spectral representation in ocean observation and modeling are demonstrated in this paper. For observation, two-scalar (toroidal and poloidal) spectral representation is used to reconstruct three-dimensional ocean flow from noisy data in an open domain. This approach includes: (a)...
