THE INVERSE OCEAN MODELING SYSTEM
The IOM system implements weak-constraint four-dimensional variational assimilation, as described in Bennett (2002), for any ocean model and data set. The first full release of the Inverse Ocean Modeling system is now available for free download from the IOM website (http://iom.asu.edu). Features include:
---IOM Data Ingest System (IDIS), facilitates assimilation of data from TAO, Jason, Argo and other major web centers. This preprocessor stands alone from the IOM and is downloadable. The documentation is in IOM Tech Doc No. 6 (IOM User Manual).
---GUI control of the IOM
---automatic generation of tangent-linear and adjoint models
---automatic generation of inversion utilities consistent with a user's model
---pre-installed tutorial models (1D wave, shallow-water, Korteweg- DeVries)
---installation (registration) guide for the user's model
---automatic generation of univariate error covariances
---acceptance of user-supplied multivariate initial error covariances
---partial or full inversions
---observing system assessment
---powerful NetCDF output
---extensive diagnostics and test statistics
---adjoint sensitivity analysis
---introduction to Fortran template programming in Parametric Fortran
---extensive theoretical commentary
DOCUMENTATION: the totally revised manual is now released as
IOM Technical Document No. 6: User Manual v1.4
This 230-page manual, also available for free download from the IOM website (http://iom.asu.edu), is divided into two parts:
I. Chapters 1-13 THE IOM SYSTEM II. Chapters 14-21 THE IOM ALGORITHM
The manual has been prepared with LaTeX documentclass{book} and is suitable for double-sided printing. If you have a duplex printer, configure your pdf reader as follows:
\File\Print Setup\Properties\Layout
Portrait
Flip on Long Edge
Front to Back
All earlier IOM Technical Documents have been withdrawn.
