The Role of Time Step Size in Numerical Stability of Tangent Linear Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is found that some stable time-integration schemes for some nonlinear models do not guarantee stable integrations of the associated tangent linear models with the same time step size. These problems usually occur when ...
Uncertainties of the Ocean Heat Content Estimation Induced by Insufficient Vertical Resolution of Historical Ocean Subsurface Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ssessment of the upper-ocean (0?700 m) heat content (OHC) is a key task for monitoring climate change. However, irregular spatial and temporal distribution of historical subsurface observations has induced uncertainties ...
Influences of the Choice of Climatology on Ocean Heat Content Estimation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he choice of climatology is an essential step in calculating the key climate indicators, such as historical ocean heat content (OHC) change. The anomaly field is required during the calculation and is obtained by subtracting ...
Degradation Kinetic and Remediation Effectiveness of 1,4-Dioxane-Contaminated Groundwater by a Sono-Activated Persulfate Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The well-known biorefractory organic material 1,4-Dioxane (1,4-D) is difficult to degrade in groundwater by classical treatment processes. The sono-activated persulfate process was applied to remediate 1,4-D-contaminated ...
Effects of Sea Level Data Assimilation by Ensemble Optimal Interpolation and 3D Variational Data Assimilation on the Simulation of Variability in a Tropical Pacific Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ea level anomalies (SLA) from the Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon are assimilated with three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) and ensemble optimal interpolation (EnOI) for the period of ...
Benefits of CMIP5 Multimodel Ensemble in Reconstructing Historical Ocean Subsurface Temperature Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: complete map of the ocean subsurface temperature is essential for monitoring aspects of climate change such as the ocean heat content (OHC) and sea level changes and for understanding the dynamics of the ocean/climate ...
Assimilating Altimetry Data into a HYCOM Model of the Pacific: Ensemble Optimal Interpolation versus Ensemble Kalman Filter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has proven its efficiency in strongly nonlinear dynamical systems but is demanding in its computing power requirements, which are typically about the same as those of the four-dimensional ...
Time, Probe Type, and Temperature Variable Bias Corrections to Historical Expendable Bathythermograph Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ystematic biases in historical expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data are examined using two datasets: 4151 XBT?CTD side-by-side pairs from 1967 to 2011 and 218 653 global-scale XBT?CTD pairs (within one month and 1°) ...
A New Method to Estimate the Systematical Biases of Expendable Bathythermograph
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new technique to estimate three major biases of XBT probes (improper fall rate, start-up transient, and pure temperature error) has been developed. Different from the well-known and standard ?temperature error free? ...
A Model-Based Observation-Thinning Scheme for the Assimilation of High-Resolution SST in the Shelf and Coastal Seas around China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of high-density remote sensing buoys and ship-based observations play an increasingly crucial role in the operational assimilation and forecast of oceans. With the recent release of several high-resolution observation ...
