Abstract

The relationship between the results of four-dimensional (4-D) analysis and the approximations employed in the assimilation scheme, as well as the initial fields, is studied. The contribution made by a procedure of correcting the horizontal velocities by theT, S data to the increase of the quality of the data obtained is estimated. Numerical experiments were carried out on the data of measurements made in the observation site located in the Newfoundland energy-active zone in August 1985.
