An Improved Calculation of Coriolis Terms on the C Grid
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The central differencing grid with fully staggered velocity components (C grid) is widely used in primitive equation oceanographic models despite potential problems in simulating baroclinic inertia?gravity and Rossby waves ...
A Sequential Variational Algorithm for Data Assimilation in Oceanography and Meteorology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study theoretically establishes a sequential variational (SVAR) method for the data assimilation in oceanography and meteorology defined on the model space. Requiring a significantly smaller amount of computer memory, ...
An Application of Sequential Variational Method without Tangent Linear and Adjoint Model Integrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he sequential variational (SVAR) method minimizes the weakly constrained four-dimensional cost function by splitting it into a set of smaller cost functions. This study shows how it is possible to apply SVAR in practice ...
A Model for Long-Range Transport of Desert Dust
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An Eulerian model for dust transport in the atmosphere is designed, and a new parameterization scheme for dust uptake is developed. The model results are quantitatively compared with satellite observations for an intense ...
Estimation and Impact of Nonuniform Horizontal Correlation Length Scales for Global Ocean Physical Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ptimally modeling background-error horizontal correlations is crucial in ocean data assimilation. This paper investigates the impact of releasing the assumption of uniform background-error correlations in a global ocean ...
Quality Assessment of a 1985–2007 Mediterranean Sea Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: simulation and two reanalyses from 1985 to 2007 have been produced for the Mediterranean Sea using different assimilation schemes: a reduced-order optimal interpolation [System for Ocean Forecast and Analysis (SOFA)] and ...
Large-Scale Atmospheric Warming in Winter and the Arctic Sea Ice Retreat
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ongoing shrinkage of the Arctic sea ice cover is likely linked to the global temperature rise, the pronounced warming in the Arctic, and possibly weather anomalies in the midlatitudes. By evaluating independent components ...
Assimilating Along-Track Altimetric Observations through Local Hydrostatic Adjustment in a Global Ocean Variational Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global ocean three-dimensional variational data assimilation system was developed with the aim of assimilating along-track sea level anomaly observations, along with in situ observations from bathythermographs and ...
