A global mean dynamic topography and ocean circulation estimation using a preliminary GOCE gravity model 总被引：8，自引：4，他引：4
The Gravity and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite mission measures Earth’s gravity field with an unprecedented
accuracy at short spatial scales. In doing so, it promises to significantly advance our ability to determine the ocean’s general
circulation. In this study, an initial gravity model from GOCE, based on just 2 months of data, is combined with the recent
DTU10MSS mean sea surface to construct a global mean dynamic topography (MDT) model. The GOCE MDT clearly displays the gross
features of the ocean’s steady-state circulation. More significantly, the improved gravity model provided by the GOCE mission
has enhanced the resolution and sharpened the boundaries of those features compared with earlier satellite only solutions.
Calculation of the geostrophic surface currents from the MDT reveals improvements for all of the ocean’s major current systems.
In the North Atlantic, the Gulf Stream is stronger and more clearly defined, as are the Labrador and the Greenland currents.
Furthermore, the finer scale features, such as eddies, meanders and branches of the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Current
system are visible. Similar improvements are seen also in the North Pacific Ocean, where the Kuroshio and its extension are
well represented. In the Southern hemisphere, both the Agulhas and the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence current systems are well
defined, and in the Southern ocean the Antarctic Circumpolar Current appears enhanced. The results of this preliminary analysis,
using an initial GOCE gravity model, clearly demonstrate the potential of the GOCE mission. Already, at this early stage of
the mission, the resolution of the MDT has been improved and the estimated surface current speeds have been increased compared
with a GRACE satellite-only MDT. Future GOCE gravity models are expected to build further upon this early success. 相似文献

This paper discusses an altimeter data processing technique designed to compute time series of the mesoscale dynamic sea surface and to produce mean sea surfaces and surface variability. The technique has been applied to Geosat data collected over the North and South Atlantic and the South Indian Ocean. The computed mean sea surfaces show a high correlation with ocean bottom topography, whereas the variability is found to be associated with mesoscale ocean currents. High variability levels are spotted near the Gulfstream Extension and the Agulhas Return Current.Detailed examination of the sea surface and related flow field time series made it possible to identify a large number of eddies and to keep track of them in both the nort-west and south-east Atlantic. Additionally, some of the eddy characteristics have been resolved such as translation and swirl velocity. It is found that the eddy motion is affected by ocean bottom slopes. 相似文献

Procedures to calculate mean sea surface heights and gravity anomalies from altimeter-derived sea surface heights and along-track
sea surface slopes using the least-squares collocation procedure are derived. The slope data is used when repeat track averaging
is not possible to reduce ocean variability effects. Tests were carried out using Topex, Geosat, ERS-1 [35-day and 168-day
(2 cycle)] data. Calculations of gravity anomalies in the Gulf Stream region were made using the sea surface height and slope
data. Tests were also made correcting the sea surface heights for dynamic ocean topography calculated from a degree 360 expansion
of data from the POCM-4B global ocean circulation model. Comparisons of the anomaly predictions were carried out with ship
data using anomalies calculated for this paper as well as others.

We compare in situ current measurements with remotely sensed surface currents from satellite altimetry calculated using a novel operator to estimate geostrophic currents with minimum noise. Buoys from the Texas Automated Buoy System measured currents in the shallow waters of the Louisiana/Texas shelf. The optimally derived currents from TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1 are shown to be highly correlated even in this shallow water environment. 相似文献

Eddies and planetary waves are identified as one of the important factors that control the dynamics of the Arabian Sea. During
10–14 January 1990, Ignat, Paulyuchenkov (USSR ship) conducted an experiment in the central Arabian Sea and of late TOPEX/POSEIDON
satellites collected data on sea surface height (SSH) anomalies of the Arabian Sea. These data sets give an opportunity to
understand the characteristic of eddies and planetary waves in this region during winter. The geostrophic flow revealed three
anticyclonic and two cyclonic eddies of diameters ranging from 75 to more than 150 km from surface to subsurface levels. Current
speeds around different eddies were maximum at surface and varied from 9 cm/s to 25 cm/s (at the middle point between the
center and periphery). The occurrence of eddies were further investigated with the TOPEX/POSEIDON altimetry for the years
1993–97. The analysis revealed multiple eddies of diameter 100 to 550 km occur every year with maximum number of eddies during
1997 and minimum during 1995. The calculated speed varied between 8–30 cm/s around various eddies.
Longitude-Time plots showed annual Rossby waves generating at the eastern Arabian Sea and propagating westwards with a phase
speed of ~ 10 cm/s along 16° N. Further, it was observed that these waves arrived in the study area by January. In addition,
another positive anomaly of SSH was found generating at the western Arabian Sea simultaneously and extended up to the study
region by April–June. Time series of SSH at selected locations along 16°N revealed many small-scale oscillations and their
spatial variability. These oscillations were delineated using the FFT analysis. Other than the Rossby wave, the major components
at the study region were 40–60 and 26–32 day oscillations. The implications of these long period waves associated with eddies
are discussed. 相似文献

We present a geoid solution for the Weddell Sea and adjacent continental Antarctic regions. There, a refined geoid is of interest, especially for oceanographic and glaciological applications. For example, to investigate the Weddell Gyre as a part of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and, thus, of the global ocean circulation, the mean dynamic topography (MDT) is needed. These days, the marine gravity field can be inferred with high and homogeneous resolution from altimetric height profiles of the mean sea surface. However, in areas permanently covered by sea ice as well as in coastal regions, satellite altimetry features deficiencies. Focussing on the Weddell Sea, these aspects are investigated in detail. In these areas, ground-based data that have not been used for geoid computation so far provide additional information in comparison with the existing high-resolution global gravity field models such as EGM2008. The geoid computation is based on the remove–compute–restore approach making use of least-squares collocation. The residual geoid with respect to a release 4 GOCE model adds up to two meters and more in the near-coastal and continental areas of the Weddell Sea region, also in comparison with EGM2008. Consequently, the thus refined geoid serves to compute new estimates of the regional MDT and geostrophic currents. 相似文献

Variability of Sea level and its steric contribution in the Tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) was studied based on 15?years (1993?C2007) satellite altimeter observations of sea surface height (SSH) anomaly and steric height (STH) anomaly computed using temperature and salinity fields obtained from Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) product. Complex Empirical Orthogonal Function (CEOF) analysis was carried out to decompose variability of SSH and STH into various modes to examine the coherency between them. It is revealed that both the parameters exhibit variability in all the time scales. First three major modes of CEOF corresponds to 90% and 84% of the total variability of SSH and STH respectively. There exists strong coherence between the respective CEOF modes of SSH and STH. The first mode of CEOF contributes around ~50% of the total signal corresponds to the annual cycle exhibit large variability in the western Arabian Sea along the Somali and Arabia Coast, latitudinal strip between 2 and 10°N extending from Somali-coast to the west coast of India, coastal oceans around India, and the south eastern TIO. The second CEOF with 25% of total signal contains mixed signature of intra-seasonal and inter-annual periodicities. This exhibit large amplitude in the central south TIO, western and eastern parts of Equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO). Computed long term linear growth rate of sea level anomaly suggests that increase of sea level varies from small (1?C3?mm?yr?1) in the north TIO to large (8?mm?yr?1) in the south TIO. Further analysis suggests that SSH trend in the south TIO was mostly governed by steric contribution while the variability of SSH trend in the north TIO could be explained partially by the variability in STH. 相似文献

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse of all marine ecosystems and are often referred to as the “rainforests of the sea”. Though they cover less than one per cent of Earth’s surface, they are home to one quarter of all ocean species by providing food and shelter to them. Optical remote sensing has been widely employed for mapping and monitoring coral reefs. But the application of microwave remote sensing has been an alternate domain in this area. This study explores the possibility of utilizing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data of Radar Imaging Satellite-I, India’s first indigenous microwave satellite to delineate the coral reefs in Andaman and Lakshadweep Islands in the Indian Ocean. The dual polarized data, after reducing the speckle has been classified to delineate the coral reefs in the vicinity of both islands. SAR has a performance comparable with passive optical sensors under favourable conditions of imaging, viz. optimum tidal current and surface winds. The study results are compared with the international coral reef reference map and are found to be highly promising, with an overall accuracy of 98.3% and a Kappa coefficient of 0.944 for fringing reefs in Andaman region. For the atolls in Lakshadweep region, the overall accuracy is found to be 92.99% and the Kappa coefficient is estimated at 0.7377. This study tries to explore a different horizon for microwave remote sensing in coral reef studies. It is seen that, optical and microwave remote sensing can provide a mutually supporting platform in coral reef delineation, in terms of imaging depth as well as climatic conditions. 相似文献

The effects of the deviations of sea surface topography from the geoid are estimated for terrestrial geoid computations as
obtained from Stokes' formula. The results are based on an equal-area expansion of Lisitzin's sea surface topography data
in a spherical harmonic series. It is realized that those data affect mainly the harmonics of degree n≤10. Consequently, in
geoids obtained from combination solutions (where low harmonics are dominated by harmonics as obtained from differential orbit
improvement) the sea surface topography effects are relatively small. 相似文献

Gravity-field improvement in the Mediterranean Sea by estimating the bottom topography using collocation 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
The contribution of bathymetry to the prediction of quantities related to the gravity field (e.g., gravity anomalies, geoid
heights) is discussed in an extended test area of the central Mediterranean Sea. Sea gravity anomalies and a priori statistical
characteristics of depths are used in a least-squares collocation procedure in order to produce new depths, giving a better
smoothing of the gravity field when using a remove-restore procedure. The effect of the bottom topography on gravity-field
modeling is studied using both the original and the new depths through a residual terrain modeling reduction. The numerical
tests show a considerable smoothing of the sea gravity anomalies and the available altimeter heights when the new depth information
is taken into account according to the covariance analysis performed. Moreover, geoid heights are computed by combining the
sea gravity anomalies either with the original depths or with the new ones, using as a reference surface the OSU91A geopotential
model. Comparing the computed geoid heights with adjusted altimeter sea-surface heights (SSHs), better results are obtained
when subtracting the attraction of the new depth information. Similar results are obtained when predicting gravity anomalies
from altimeter SSHs where the terrain effect on altimetry is based on the new bottom topography.

We investigate global mean sea level (MSL) changes and different geophysical contributions at interannual and long-term (decadal) time-scales. Thermosteric effects of global MSL changes are estimated from ocean temperature anomaly data for the period 1955–2003 from the World Ocean Database 2001 (WOD01), plus additional data processed through June 2004. Estimates based on WOD01 show significant differences to previously published results based on similar temperature anomaly data from the World Ocean Database 1998 (WOD98), especially during the period overlapping with the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeter mission. During this period (1993–2004), the WOD01-estimated thermosteric contribution of global MSL change is less than half of the estimate from WOD98 (1.3 ± 0.1 vs. 3.0 ± 0.6 mm/year), as compared to the rate of 2.6 ± 0.06 mm/year observed by satellite altimeters. The larger uncertainty in ocean temperature profiles and incomplete data collection in WOD98, especially in the later years (1997 and 1998) appear to be the major error sources to the overestimated steric effects by WOD98. During the entire 50-year period, the steric effect on global MSL change amounts to about 0.34–0.39 (±0.05) mm/year. Strong interannual and decadal variability exists in estimated thermosteric contributions to the global MSL change, and (surprisingly) the thermosteric effect does not show any pronounced contribution to the strong interannual variability during the 1997/1998 El Niño/La Niña event. Our analysis based on the National Centers for Environmental Prediction reanalysis atmospheric model and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center global land data assimilation system indicates that atmospheric water vapor and terrestrial water storage changes show strong interannual variability that is well correlated with observed global MSL change, and could have significant effects on interannual global MSL changes. 相似文献
