Brief about the talk
Wave forecasting is of prime importance for safe navigation and offshore operations as well as to improve the prediction of ocean currents, transport and mixing characteristics. Recent technology advancements have made high resolution wave observations available through in situ and remote sensing methods. This information propelled the data assimilation scheme to a prominent place in the wave forecasting studies. A wave data assimilation scheme by combining an error forecasting algorithm based on ‘local model’ and a spatial distribution scheme using ensemble error covariances will be presented.
