Summary
An ocean data assimilation system in miniature
The pages of this book are filled with the mathematics of oceanic and atmospheric circulation models, observing systems and variational calculus. It would only be natural to ask: What is going on here, and is it really new? The answers are “regression” and hence “no”: almost every issue of any marine biology journal contains a variational ocean data assimilation system in miniature.
Linear regression in marine biology
The article “Repression of fecundity in the neritic copepod Acartia clausi exposed to the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium lusitanicum: relationship between feeding and egg production”, by Jörg Dutz, appeared in Marine Ecology Progress Series in 1998.
