Abstract

It is suggested that the algorithm of Kalman smoothing is used to analyse and process oceanographic data. Two methods of solving the Kalman smoothing problem are given: an iteration method and a precise method. Their advantages and disadvantages are considered, as well as different cases and conclusions.
