OPERATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH-EASTERN BLACK SEA: EVALUATION OF MODEL ACCURACY COMPARED TO SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS DATA

Abstract

which are the initial and boundary conditions for the regional model. The correlation coefficients of satellite altimetry data, meteorological stations and modelling exceed 70 %. This result shows that the altimetry and modeling data to track and forecast the level should use, also these data may be used in their assimilation algorithms in numerical models. Moreover, it is necessary to modify the altimetry data assimilation algorithms used in operational oceanography to adjust the simulated salinity in shallow sea.
