Continuous data assimilation for the three-dimensional planetary geostrophic equations of large-scale ocean circulation

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to consider a continuous data assimilation algorithm for the three-dimensional planetary geostrophic model in the case that the observable measurements, obtained continuously in time, may be contaminated by systematic errors. In this paper, we will provide some suitable conditions on the nudging parameter and the spatial resolution, which are sufficient to show that the approximation solution of the proposed continuous data assimilation algorithm converges to the unique exact unknown reference solution of the original system at an exponential rate, asymptotically in time, under the assumption that the observed data is free of error.
