A comparison of the performance of 4D-Var in an explicit and implicit version of a nonlinear barotropic ocean model
A comparison is made of the performance of the four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-Var) method in an explicit and implicit version of a barotropic quasi-geostrophic model of the wind-driven double-gyre ocean circulation. As is well known, implicit methods have the advantage that relat...
