Abrupt Cooling of the Mediterranean Levantine Intermediate Water at the Beginning of the 1980s: Observational Evidence and Model Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) is an important water mass for the overall hydrology of the Mediterranean Sea and there are open questions connected with the possible long-term variability of its physical characteristics. ...
Optimal Analysis of In Situ Data in the Western Mediterranean Using Statistics and Cross-Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To study the Mediterranean general circulation, there is a constant need for reliable interpretations of available hydrological observations. Optimal data analyses (in the probabilistic point of view of objective analysis) ...
Efficient Local Error Parameterizations for Square Root or Ensemble Kalman Filters: Application to a Basin-Scale Ocean Turbulent Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In large-sized atmospheric or oceanic applications of square root or ensemble Kalman filters, it is often necessary to introduce the prior assumption that long-range correlations are negligible and force them to zero using ...
Efficient Parameterization of the Observation Error Covariance Matrix for Square Root or Ensemble Kalman Filters: Application to Ocean Altimetry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Kalman filter standard algorithm, the computational complexity of the observational update is proportional to the cube of the number y of observations (leading behavior for large y). In realistic atmospheric or ...
Improved Turbulent Air–Sea Flux Bulk Parameters for Controlling the Response of the Ocean Mixed Layer: A Sequential Data Assimilation Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bulk formulations parameterizing turbulent air?sea fluxes remain among the main sources of error in present-day ocean models. The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of estimating the turbulent bulk ...
Efficient Adaptive Error Parameterizations for Square Root or Ensemble Kalman Filters: Application to the Control of Ocean Mesoscale Signals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Kalman filter applications, an adaptive parameterization of the error statistics is often necessary to avoid filter divergence, and prevent error estimates from becoming grossly inconsistent with the real error. With ...
Intrinsic and Atmospherically Forced Variability of the AMOC: Insights from a Large-Ensemble Ocean Hindcast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study investigates the origin and features of interannual?decadal Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) variability from several ocean simulations, including a large (50 member) ensemble of global, ...
