Parameter identification of internal wave and mesoscale eddy

A simplified parameter identification algorithm for the inverse refractive indexes of the mesoscale eddy and the internal wave in the ocean is proposed by researching into the incident field and the scattered field that comprise the total field of a wave in the ocean, considering that the total field and the incident field satisfy the Helmholtz equations and the scattered field conforms to the Sommerfield radiation condition. Two examples for the calculation of refractive index and inverse refractive index respectively of the mesoscale eddy and the internal wave demonstrate the applicability of the algorithm.
