Evaluation of oceanic transport parameters using transient tracers from observations and model output
Description: A method is presented to find the age distribution of ocean waters, the transit-time distribution (TTD), by combining an eddying global ocean model's estimate of the TTD with hydrographic observations of CFC-11, temperature, and salinity. The method uses a mixture model of an assumed form of the TTD, an inverse Gaussian (IG), and an established Bayesian statistical method. [Source: Ocean Modelling]
