Abstract
Due to a lack of observational data, the hydrological fields of temperature, salinity, and density used by oceanographers at present remain significantly smoothed. Specifically, this refers to the WOA data distributed freely by the group of Sidney Levitus. This study describes the history of synthesis of hydrological data and mathematical modeling with high resolution. Our aim is to minimize the drawbacks of original data of hydrological fields, improve them with the help of a mathematical model, and thus reproduce the current fields. The results of some realistic calculations are presented.
