Abstract

Proposed are algorithms for studying the sensitivity ofthe optimal solution to errors in observational data in the problem of the variational assimilation of data on the sea surface temperature in order to retrieve heat fluxes for the nonstationary system of thermodynamic equations. Presented are numerical experiments with the model ofthe Baltic Sea thermodynamics.
