The transport model of passive admixture in the Azov Sea is considered. On its basis the variational algorithm of identification power source pollution, including a variable in space, is implemented. The algorithm operability of optimum space distribution search of power source with measurements data is shown on a test example. Test calculations for the Kazantip Bay under east wind stress were carried out. The measurement data assimilation algorithm in the passive admixture transfer model is implemented applying gradient methods for optimal estimate retrieval. The retrieval is carried out by means of minimizing a quadratic function of prediction quality. The linked problem solving is used in the gradient of quality functional construction. On the basis of the variational method of data assimilation, the optimal estimate retrieval algorithm for pollution source power identification is constructed. In application of the algorithm, the integration of the main, linked and variational problems is implemented. The latter is solved to determine an iteration parameter when performing gradient descent. Integration problems are solved using TVD approximations. For the application of the procedure, the Sea of Azov flow fields and turbulent diffusion coefficients are obtained using the sigma coordinate ocean model (POM) under the eastern wind stress conditions being dominant at the observed period of time. Furthermore, the results can be used to perform numerical data assimilation on loads of suspended matter.

Introduction. Studying the admixture distribution dynamics the application of the both contemporary mathematical models [1] and the methods of measurement data assimilation [2, 3], allowing identifying the model input parameters, is necessary. Measurement data assimilation algorithms are mainly based on the forecast quality quadratic functional minimization featuring the decline of model solution from measurement data. At the same time the passive admixture transport model acts as a limitation of the input parameter variation. In the work [4] the variation algorithm of power source identification for two-dimensional model is thoroughly considered, its efficiency in the presence of measurement data on the pollution spot periphery in case of point source effect by time constant and variable power is also shown. In the present work such approach is applied to three-dimensional model of passive admixture transport model in the Azov Sea. The task to identify the constantly acting pollution source power space variable is considered.

The results of numerical experiments. Numerical experiments were carried out applying the model of the work [1] to the Azov Sea. To test the algorithm, the identification of variations in the power source the calculation to establish the model the flow field under the influence of constant wind eastern direction at a speed of 10 m/s was performed in Kazantip Bay. As a result of simulation the spatial distribution coefficients were also obtained. The velocity fields and turbulent diffusion coefficients were used as input data in the integration model of passive admixture transport for a period of 10 days.

Fig. 4, 5 show absolute power values of the source qb on the first and twentieth iterations of the algorithm identification. It is evident that in the process of iterations correspondence of the found power Qb (Fig. 5) to the initial one (Fig.1) significantly improves. Decreasing the total data amount of spatial structure of the concentration field the convergence of the iterative process slows down. Identification process considerably accelerates, if QB in this area is a constant value, then to achieve the minimum of functional applying this procedure, only one iteration is necessary. It should be noted that qb = const in the area Q can be evaluated in another way, for instance, by method of linearization or by adjoint method.

The applied algorithm permits to restore the spatial flow structure of the matter. In the present work without loss of generality the value QB is considered. The problem for QS is solved similarly. In the article [4] the performance of the algorithm in identifying the variable power time Q(t) is shown. The main requirement in this case is sufficient amount of information for the convergence of the iterative process. It is clear that Cmes cannot belong to a single instant of time T , but relate to different instants of time t e[0,r ]. In accordance with the work [5], the model in the given algorithm acts as a spatio-temporal interpolator, therefore it is also important that the total amount of information is sufficient for the convergence of the iteration process. The most informative are measuring points in the area of the maximum values of the concentration field and in the areas with a substantial information relation to the area Q. These points can be determined by influence function based on the solving of the corresponding adjoint problems.

Fig. 5. Absolute power value of the source qb on the twentieth iteration of identification variation algorithm
Simulation of the pollution distribution from a permanent unit power source was carried out at different wind effect. The software code provides a reference source both on the sea surface QS = 1 and at the bottom QB = -1. Now we are to consider the case QB =-1 in Kazantip Bay under the eastern wind. Under such wind effect an intense "airing" of the Bay takes place, and the admixture distributes to the north-west (Fig. 6). Under assimilation as the measurement data the information taken from the periphery of the contamination area (to the left of the vertical line) is used. Fig. 6, 7 show the scale of values of the concentration field, normalized to the respective maximum values.

Рис. 8. The fall of the normalized value of the forecast quality functional depends on the number of iterations n at a constant power source qb
As a result of the adjoint problem solution (10) - (12) under the first iteration we have the distribution C* at the instant of time t = 0 (Fig. 7), featuring the
forecast discrepancy influence on the power QB in the point (х0> yo). In the process of iterations (Fig. 8) the fall of the normalized value of the forecast quality functional takes place and the known value Qb restores. Results of the numeric experiments showed convergence of the iterative process to depend on the amount
PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY NO. 2 (2015) 75
of information assimilated. In case of assimilation of all the simulated field information at a finite time to reach the minimum of a functional one iteration is required. The greatest information value the points situated closer to the source of pollution possess.
The article [4] demonstrates that for the time variable of the source power Q(t) information about the entire concentration field at a finite time is necessary. Taking into consideration the possibility of time and space measurement data distribution, it can also be argued that for a more accurate identification of Q(t), it is necessary to have the point of measurement in the area adjacent to the source of pollution.
Conclusion. In general, the performed numerical experiments showed the reliable operation of the variation algorithm of power source identification in relation to the model of passive admixture transport in the Azov Sea. The results can be used to solve various problems of ecological orientation in the study of the impact of anthropogenic pollution sources in the waters of the Azov and Black Sea.
