1997 Adjoint Numerical
Modeling
§1997 species
abundances were assimilated into a coupled physical-biological
model.
§The forward problem was posed as an advection - diffusion - reaction equation for the copepod concentration.
§The adjoint method of data assimilation was used to invert for the biological sources and sinks implied by the observed changes in abundance between surveys and the flow during the intervening period.
