Abstract

This paper considers the main steps in improving the methods for calculating the ocean (sea) dynamics on the basis of observational data on sea-water temperature and salinity. The results of diagnostic and adaptation calculations for the near-equatorial area of the West Atlantic in the area of the Lomonosov countercurrent formation are presented. We consider the problem of the complex use of measurements of temperature, salinity, and current velocity in the POLYMODE polygons with their assimilation into the model using a Kalman filter. The results of calculations of the coordinated fields with the mechanism of geostrophic adaptation and using asynchronous measurements obtained by the Razrezy program are given. We discuss further modifications of the assimilation algorithms for hydrological observation data in models of sea dynamics and the principles of adaptation of hydrophysical fields that made it possible to reconstruct the climate fields of the Black Sea and to reproduce the basin dynamics for 23 years.
