The purpose of this investigation is to find out the Representative Error (RE) due to regridding a high resolution ocean data into
a coarser resolution grid structure. RE is the component of observational error that creeps into model due to the subgrid scale
unresolved processes. It can be included in Data Assimilation by blending it with the observational error covariance matrix (R) which
will be used in further calculation regarding the assimilation of observational data. So it is very important to evaluate the RE with
which one can get a model forecast that will be closer to the reality. In order to evaluate it in a simpler way a climatological output of
ROMS of 1/12 degree resolution is assumed as the best possible model estimate. Our goal is to find out how much physical information
is lost due to regridding it into a coarser resolution. In this regard an arithmetic mean of temperature is produced from the given
ROMS output for a single time step in coarse resolution. Then every grid points from the given high resolution data are subtracted
from the mean and the variance is calculated at each grid point. It is found that in the vicinity of Persian Gulf and Red Sea within the
range of thermocline depth the variance, rather the RE is a bit higher which can be anticipated by the fact that in these regions there
exists a certain number of mesoscale eddies which was underestimated after regridding the data into a coarser resolution.
