A Method for Determining Absolute Velocities from Hydrographic Data: The Numerical Code

The numerical procedure associated with the inverse method of Peggion (1987) is described. The model equations are formulated on a spherical-shell coordinate system. The method is applied to a limited area of the basin of the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian Sea, using climatological and historical data...

Description
Summary:The numerical procedure associated with the inverse method of Peggion (1987) is described. The model equations are formulated on a spherical-shell coordinate system. The method is applied to a limited area of the basin of the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian Sea, using climatological and historical data from the Generalized Digital Environmental Model (GDEM), of the Naval Oceanographic Office, Washington D.C. Keywords: Absolute velocity; Bathymetry; Ocean current velocities; Ocean models; Numerical analysis; Oceanographic fronts; Seasonal variations.
