Data Assimilation in an Ocean Modeling System Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) The technical methods are based on the original algorithm of Evensen (1994) and the modified algorithm of Burgers et al. (1996). It is relatively easy to implement the algorithm, the EnKF, to a sophisticated nonlinear model (e.g. ROMS, POM, ECOM, FVCOM, HYCOM) since the data assimilation algorithm is independent of the forecast model.

Subsurface temperature data from CDT, XBT, and ARGO floats. • we assimilated temperature data at 5, 10, 30, 50, 100, 200, 500 m depths every 7 day. The observation data within 7 days of time window are sampled on the day of assimilation.
t = 21 day t = 7 day t = 14 day t = 42 day t = 35 day t = 28 day t = 63 day t = 56 day t = 49 day
