Short summary
This paper presents an efficient method for high-resolution ocean modelling based on a combination of the deterministic and stochastic approaches. The method utilises mathematical tools similar to those developed for data assimilation in ocean modelling. The main difference is that instead of assimilating a relatively small number of observations, the SDD method assimilates all the data produced by a parent model. The method is applied to create an operational Stochastic Model of the Red Sea.
