Another goal is to accurately measure the energy that is radiated from the Ridge by low-mode baroclinic tides. This radiated energy is a sink of energy for the barotropic tide. The effectiveness of the Hawaiian Ridge topography at generating internal tides is nonuniform along the Ridge, so that the radiating waves have concentrations of greater and lesser energy. The code is highly optimized for speed, and a parallelized version using MPI is also available for minimizing calculation time at very long ranges. Dushaw, B. D. and J. A. Colosi, 1998.
Class notes on representers for acoustic tomography and a shallow-water ocean model.
These notes stem from work I did while attending Andrew Bennett's summer school on data assimilation during summer 1999. The document was written in December 1999. More information on this model may be found at the OSU Tidal Data Inversion web site. The package includes high resolution coastlines for the world in matlab format. Be sure to pick up the high resolution coastline data that goes with it here .
