Abstract
    Developing operational oceanographic models for coastal environment is an exciting challenge for the next decades. The typical sparsity of assimilated in-situ observations often creates biases in the model predictions reducing the overall accuracy of the forecasting. In such a highly dynamic environment, acoustic tomography can be a good candidate to provide synoptic measurements over wide areas while a range-dependent inversion scheme allows to achieve a reasonable spatial resolution. In this work, we present simulation results of a Kalman-based assimilation of ocean-acoustic data for a basic model of the Ushant front west off Britanny. In a first part, a single vertical slice tomography experiment is simulated for a static front model to study in which way the modal propagation of a multifrequency acoustic signal is affected by the characteristics of the front (position, intensity). In a second part, the problem of assimilating full-field acoustic data into a dynamic model and tracking of the range-dependent sound-speed field is addressed.
