The mean seasonal cycle in sea level estimated from a data-constrained general circulation model
[1] A near-global ocean state estimate over the period 1992–2004 is used to study the mean seasonal cycle in sea level z. The state estimate combines most available observations, including all the altimetric missions, with a general circulation model in an optimization procedure. The annual cycle tends to be larger than the semi-annual one, except in tropical regions. For global mean z, annual ...
متن کاملUsing ARGO, GRACE and altimetry data to assess the quasi stationary North Atlantic circulation
We analyse the North Atlantic circulation by combining data from ARGO profiling buoys and satellite altimetry measurements into an inverse finite-element ocean circulation model. The model solution is consistent with ocean dynamics and approximate conservation of temperature and salinity. The ocean circulation is analysed separately for the years 2005 and 2006. Temperature and salinity fields f...
متن کاملAssessment of the impact of TS assimilation from ARGO floats in the Mediterranean Sea
In this paper, the impact of assimilating Temperature (T) and Salinity (S) profiles from Argo floats in the Mediterranean Sea is quantitatively investigated using the Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSE) approach. The impact of varying the number of floats and their launch positions is considered, using numerical simulations with a MOM model and a reduced-order multivariate Optimal In...

متن کاملGlobal ocean circulation during 1992–1997, estimated from ocean observations and a general circulation model
[1] A three-dimensional oceanic state is estimated for the period 1992–1997 as it results from combining large-scale ocean data sets with a general circulation model. At the cost of increased computational load, the estimation (assimilation) method is chosen specifically so that the resulting state estimate is consistent with the model equations, having no artificial sources or sinks. To bring ...
