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.
