A consistency between seasonal fluctuation of actual sea surface height (SSH) and those caused by mass and density variations in gyre-scale regions is examined. The SSH obtained from satellite altimetry (altimetric SSH) is adopted as the actual SSH. SSH caused by mass variation (mass-related SSH) is simulated using a barotropic global ocean model forced by water flux, wind stress and surface pressure. SSH caused by density variation (steric SSH) is calculated from water density profile, i.e. temperature and salinity profiles. The model SSH well represents mass-related SSH for gyre-scale regional means, and seasonal fluctuation of the altimetric SSH corrected for the model SSH is similar to that of steric SSH above a pressure level larger than 300 dbar. The results indicate that the mass-related SSH does not much respond to the baroclinic adjustment to the seasonally varying wind stress curl. The mass-related SSH forced by wind stress and surface pressure should be accounted for regional evaluation, though it is not necessary for global mean evaluation. Detection of steric SSH from altimetric SSH would be useful for assimilation approaches in which the altimetric SSH is treated as the variable reflecting subsurface temperature and salinity. 相似文献

The seasonal variation of the Kuroshio transport south of Japan has been investigated using the results of an assimilation
model. Annual and semiannual variations of the transport and dynamic depth anomaly are reconstructed by CEOF (complex orthogonal
empirical function) analysis. In the basin west of the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge, the annual component of the variation propagates
westward with the phase speed of the long Rossby wave associated with the first baroclinic mode. The variation also shows
a similar tendency to that reproduced in a wind-driven, two-layer model with a ridge. This suggests that the annual variation
revealed in the assimilation model is associated with the baroclinic first mode of motion excited above the Izu-Ogasawara
Ridge. Furthermore, it is found that both the semiannual component and the annual component are important members determining
the seasonal variation of the Kuroshio transport south of Japan. The semiannual component is revealed as a double gyre pattern
in the basin west of the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge.

Short-Range Prediction Experiments with Operational Data Assimilation System for the Kuroshio South of Japan 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:3

The short-range (one month) variability of the Kuroshio path was predicted in 84 experiments (90-day predictions) using a
model in an operational data assimilation system based on data from 1993 to 1999. The predictions started from an initial
condition or members of a set of initial conditions, obtained in a reanalysis experiment. The predictions represent the transition
from straight to meander of the Kuroshio path, and the results have been analyzed according to previously proposed mechanisms
of the transition with eddy propagation and interaction acting as a trigger of the meander and self-sustained oscillation.
The reanalysis shows that the meander evolves due to eddy activity. Simulation (no assimilation) shows no meander state, even
with the same atmospheric forcing as the prediction. It is suggested therefore that the initial condition contains information
on the meander and the system can represent the evolution. Mean (standard deviation) values of the axis error for all 84 cases
are 13, 17, and 20 (10, 10, and 12) km, in 138.5°E, in the 30-, 60-, and 90-day predictions respectively. The observed mean
deviation from seasonal variation is 30 km. The predictive limit of the system is thus about 80 days. The time scale of the
limit depends on which stage in the transition is adopted as the initial condition. The gradual decrease of the amplitude
in a stage from meander to straight paths is also predicted. The predictive limit is about 20 days, which is shorter than
the prediction of the opposite transition.

Horizontal and meridional volume transports on timescales from intra-seasonal to interannual in the North Pacific subarctic
region were investigated using a reanalysis dataset for 1993–2001 that was constructed from an assimilation of the TOPEX altimeter
and in situ data into an eddy-permitting North Pacific ocean general circulation model. The barotropic flow is excited along east of
the Emperor Seamounts by the western intensification dynamics. The volume transport of this flow compensates for that across
the interior region east of the Seamounts below the summit depth of the Seamounts. The Oyashio, which is also considered as
a compensation flow for the transport in the whole interior region, includes baroclinic as well as barotropic components.
Baroclinic transports in the whole interior region exceed those in the western boundary region in the upper (200–1000 m) and
lower (2000–5000 m) layers, and the total transport is northward (southward) in the upper (lower) layer. These excesses of
the baroclinic transport are balanced by a vertical transport of the meridional overturn. The meridional overturn has a complementary
relation to the basin-scale baroclinic circulation in the North Pacific subactic region.

We produced a four-dimensional variational ocean re-analysis for the Western North Pacific over 30 years (FORA-WNP30). It is the first-ever dataset covering the western North Pacific over 3 decades at eddy-resolving resolution. The four-dimensional variational analysis scheme version of the Meteorological Research Institute Multivariate Ocean Variational Estimation system (MOVE-4DVAR) is employed to conduct a long-term reanalysis experiment during 1982–2012. After evaluating the basic performance of FORA-WNP30, the interannual to decadal variability is analyzed. Overall, FORA-WNP30 reproduces basic features in the western North Pacific well. One of outstanding features in FORA-WNP30 is that anomalous events such as the Kuroshio large meander and anomalous intrusion of the Oyashio in the 1980s, when there were no altimeter data, are successfully reproduced. FORA-WNP30 is therefore a valuable dataset for a variety of oceanographic research topics and potentially for related fields such as climate study, meteorology and fisheries. 相似文献

Operational Data Assimilation System for the Kuroshio South of Japan: Reanalysis and Validation 总被引:3,自引:5,他引:3

We describe an operational ocean data assimilation system for the Kuroshio and its validation using a nine-year reanalysis
(historical run from 1993 to 2001) dataset of upper-ocean state estimation in the North Pacific. The horizontal structure
of volume transport of the Ryukyu Current System (RCS) is shown from the reanalysis: The RCS is connected to the flow of the
subtropical gyre, and its volume transport gradually increases from south-east of Okinawa (5–10 Sv) to the east of Amami-Ohshima
Island (20 Sv). Comparing the reanalysis with independent observations on the southeast slope of the Amami-Ohshima Island
indicates that the root mean square differences (RMSDs) are 0.076 (0.037) m/s in the period of December 1998 to November 1999
(November 1999 to November 2000) respectively. The reanalysis field has a bias (3.1 Sv) of the volume transport of the RCS
and the RMSD (3.5 Sv) which is larger than the observed variability (2.81 Sv). Surface velocity and the Kuroshio axis south
of Japan are also examined. Comparison of the reanalysis and ADCP data gave maximum RMSD of 0.749 (0.271) m/s in the strong
(weak) current regions, respectively. The annual mean value of the axis error is 19 km in 1998. The RMSD of the error is at
most 50 km, in 294 cases in the observation period, which is smaller than the observed root mean square variability of the
axis (64 km).

Sea surface height anomaly maps of realistic eddy activity were obtained by applying space-time optimum interpolation to altimeter
data. Analysis error and rate of reconstructing eddy signals were investigated by taking account of: 1) dependency on orbit
configurations of single and multiple altimeters; 2) dependency on space-time scales of realistic, dominant eddies; and 3)
effect of space-time scales of eddy propagation. Large-scale sea surface height anomalies are subtracted from altimeter data
by applying an along-track filter to allow easy handling of eddy signals. The space-time scales of the first-guess error in
the optimum interpolation are statistically evaluated by fitting a space-time anisotropic Gaussian function to space-time-distributed
correlation coefficients of sea surface height using the TOPEX data. The results of the optimum interpolation clarify the
followings: 1) ERS has a better capability of reconstructing eddy signals than TOPEX. Comparison of maps from multi-altimeter
data shows that TOPEX+ERS has a better capability than Jason−1+TOPEX in lower latitudes and vice versa in higher latitudes,
though the differences are small. 2) The small space-time scale yields a low reconstruction rate in marginal seas and alongside
the equator. The persistent timescale is large, and westward propagation is dominant in the subtropical and subarctic regions,
where the reconstruction rates are high. 3) The optimum interpolation, taking account of eddy propagation, provides higher
reconstruction rates than that taking no account of the propagation. The effect of propagation on the optimum interpolation
is greater when it is applied to single-altimeter data than to multi-altimeter data.
