Observations of ocean circulation have increased as a result of
international field programmes and of remote sensing systems on
artificial earth satellites. Oceanographers are increasingly
turning to inverse methods for combining these observations with
numerical models of ocean circulation. Professor Bennett's work
explores the potential for inverse theory, emphasizing
possibilities rather than expedient or rudimentary applications. In
addition to interpolating the data and adding realism to the model
solutions, the methods can yield estimates for unobserved flow
variables, forcing fields, and model parameters. Inverse
formulations can resolve ill-posed modelling problems, lead to
design criteria for oceanic observing systems, and enable the
testing of models as scientific hypothesis. Exercises of varying
difficulty rehearse technical skills and supplement the central
theoretical development. Thus this book will be invaluable for
environmental scientists and engineers, advanced undergraduates in
applied mathematics, and graduate students in physical
oceanography.
