Interannual to Decadal Changes in the ECCO Global Synthesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An estimate of the time-varying global ocean circulation for the period 1992?2002 was obtained by combining most of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) ocean datasets with a general circulation model on a 1° ...
Impact of Resolution and Optimized ECCO Forcing on Simulations of the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the dynamics of a tropical Pacific Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) general circulation model (MITgcm) to the surface forcing fields and to the horizontal resolution is analyzed. During runs ...
A Case Study in Three-Dimensional Inverse Methods: Combining Hydrographic, Acoustic, and Moored Thermistor Data in the Greenland Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A variety of measurements, including acoustic travel times, moored thermistor time series, and hydrographic stations, were made in the Greenland Sea during 1988?89 to study the evolution of the temperature field throughout ...
Three-Dimensional Observations of a Deep Convective Chimney in the Greenland Sea during Winter 1988/89
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: All available temperature data, including moored thermistor, hydrographic, and tomographic measurements, have been combined using least-squares inverse methods to study the evolution of the three-dimensional temperature ...
Tomographic Maps of the Ocean Mesoscale. Part 1: Pure Acoustics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A field test of ocean acoustic tomography was conducted in 1981 for a two month period in a 300 km square at 26°N, 70°W in the North Atlantic (just south of the MODE region). Nine acoustic deep-sea moorings with sea floor ...
The Inverse Ocean Modeling System. Part II: Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Inverse Ocean Modeling (IOM) System is a modular system for constructing and running weak-constraint four-dimensional variational data assimilation (W4DVAR) for any linear or nonlinear functionally smooth dynamical ...
