ADAMS

Advanced Data Assimilation Methods for Seas

Scientific objectives

The enhancement of ocean circulation forecasts is a major issue for the modelling of climatic changes. The ADAMS associated team is studying "advanced" data assimilation methods able to take into account "high level data" in order to enhance ocean circulation forecast. We are mainly interested by Lagrangian observations (see figure 1) and image sequences (see figure 2).
