Abstract

A problem of variational data assimilation for a sea thermodynamics model is considered, with the aim to reconstruct sea surface heat fluxes taking into account the covariance matrices of input data errors. The sensitivity of some solution functionals to input data in this problem of variational assimilation is studied, and the results of numerical experiments for a model of dynamics of the Baltic Sea are presented.
