  1. Ocean Modeling and Data Analysis Working Group Discussion 10:50-12:20 July 21, 2010 Seattle, Washington, USA

  2. Charge • Coordinate efforts and develop methods to exploit Aquarius SSS to study ocean variability and air-sea interactions using data analysis and ocean models

  3. Working Group Tasks and Topics--- 3 Phases --- • Phase 1: Pre-launch • Launch • Phase 2: In Orbit Checkout (IOC), Launch + 45 days • Post Launch Assessment Review (PLAR) • Phase 3: IOC + 6 months • Science team meeting

  5. How would you like to communicate beyond emails? • Aquarius/SAC-D Information and Discussion Forum • http://aquarius.gsfc.nasa.gov/forum/aquarius/forum_show.pl • Limitations: • No documents (.doc, .ppt) • No images (.gif) • No group mailing/broadcasting • Other tools: Google Doc, Google Group • Other ideas…please email Yi.Chao@jpl.nasa.gov

  6. Phase 1: Pre-launch, Now to April 2011 • Assigned Task: To identify, assess and recommend a near real-time data set for SSS (SST, surface vector wind, waves) to be used by the Aquarius simulator • The data need to have the following characteristics • Global • Accessible in a public domain • Available in near real-time (similar to IGDR SSH data with a latency no more than a week) • Reasonable performance comparing with the observational data available • Web space: http://ourocean.jpl.nasa.gov/SSS/ (sandbox to assess data quality before recommending to Aquarius at GSFC/ESR)

  7. GHRSST: Monthly OSTIA minus NCEP OIv2

  8. GHRSST: Daily SST error for G1SST

  9. SST Task working with GHRSST • Is the current NCEP Reynolds SST the best for Aquarius? • If not, which GHRSST L4 products can be considered as the alternative/backup data set? • Who: If you would like to help, please email Yi.Chao@jpl.nasa.gov

  10. Proposed SSS: 1/12 deg HYCOM • HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) • Vertical coordinate • Isopycnal in the open stratified ocean • Terrain-following in shallow coastal regions, and • Z-level (depth) near the surface mixed layer • 1/12° Global & 32 layers • Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) • Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation (NCODA)

  11. SSS from 1/12 deg HYCOM

  12. Subsurface Salinity from 1/12 deg HYCOM 0, 250, 500, 1000 meters

  13. SSS Simulated by Models • HYCOM • Other U.S. Navy models: NCOM, NLOM • Mercator Ocean • ECCO (JPL, Hamburg) • Reanalysis: SODA, POP • IPCC climate models

  17. Phase 1: Pre-launch, Now to April 2011 • Assigned Task: To identify, assess and recommend a near real-time data set for SSS (SST, surface vector wind, waves) to be used by the Aquarius simulator • The SSS data need to have the following characteristics • Global • Accessible in a public domain • Available in near real-time (similar to IGDR SSH data with a latency no more than a week) • Reasonable performance comparing with the observational data available

  18. NCEP is used today; What about NOGAPS? Who: If you would like to help, please email Yi.Chao@jpl.nasa.gov What: in situ data; comparisons; statistics; what else?

  19. WW3: SWH, MSS(x, y) Who: If you would like to help, please email Yi.Chao@jpl.nasa.gov What: in situ data; comparisons; statistics; what else?

  20. In Orbit Checkout (IOC): Launch + 45 daysPost Launch Assessment Review (PLAR) • First…Aquarius… • First Aquarius SSS weekly map (L3a) • First SSS 7-10 days map merging Aquarius with Argo+drifter+ships+moorings (L3b) • First SSS 7-10 days map merging Aquarius with Argo+drifter+ships+moorings and SMOS (L3c) • First assimilated SSS maps from ??? models (L4) • Data analysis and model results from YOU

  22. Important pre- and post- launch activities:        - Pre-launch, determine spatial statistics from the model and from in situ data, decorrelation scales, variances, coefficients of variation, anisotropy, etc.        - Post-launch, compare model and in situ statistics with those from Aquarius to the extent possible given the differing sampling scales.

Ballabrera-Poy – ICM/CSIC (Barcelona, Spain), T. Delcroix – IRD/LEGOS (Toulouse, France), E. Hackert - ESSIC, J. Janowiak – CICS/ESSIC, R. Murtugudde - ESSIC, M. Sapiano – CSU/Dept. Atmos. Sc., R.H. Zhang - ESSIC

  28. Project Goals • Determine SSS error fields over tropical oceans • Identify SSS standard deviation, decorrelation scales, representativity error (RE) and signal to noise ratios (SNR) • In addition to these project goals of calculating SSS error fields we plan to address the following scientific questions • Can Aquarius SSS lead to better estimates of vertical salinity profiles? • Can SSS be validated using satellite estimates of precipitation, evaporation, and other ancillary data?

  29. Phase 3: IOC + 6 monthsScience Team Meeting after launch • More Data analysis and model results from YOU • Special journal issues
