Mapping Bottom Friction in Bohai Bay for Improved Ocean Models

Accurate ocean models depend on precise inputs, yet bottom friction coefficients have long resisted uniform representation. In Bohai Bay, our team applied a four-dimensional ensemble variational data assimilation scheme to map these coefficients with empirical rigor. The results are measurable: suspended sediment concentration and form drag explain 76% of spatial variance. This is validation of what integrated data ecosystems can achieve.
