Reevaluation of historical ocean heat content variations with time-varying XBT and MBT depth bias corrections 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
As reported in former studies, temperature observations obtained by expendable bathythermographs (XBTs) and mechanical bathythermographs
(MBTs) appear to have positive biases as much as they affect major climate signals. These biases have not been fully taken
into account in previous ocean temperature analyses, which have been widely used to detect global warming signals in the oceans.
This report proposes a methodology for directly eliminating the biases from the XBT and MBT observations. In the case of XBT
observation, assuming that the positive temperature biases mainly originate from greater depths given by conventional XBT
fall-rate equations than the truth, a depth bias equation is constructed by fitting depth differences between XBT data and
more accurate oceanographic observations to a linear equation of elapsed time. Such depth bias equations are introduced separately
for each year and for each probe type. Uncertainty in the gradient of the linear equation is evaluated using a non-parametric
test. The typical depth bias is +10 m at 700 m depth on average, which is probably caused by various indeterminable sources
of error in the XBT observations as well as a lack of representativeness in the fall-rate equations adopted so far. Depth
biases in MBT are fitted to quadratic equations of depth in a similar manner to the XBT method. Correcting the historical
XBT and MBT depth biases by these equations allows a historical ocean temperature analysis to be conducted. In comparison
with the previous temperature analysis, large differences are found in the present analysis as follows: the duration of large
ocean heat content in the 1970s shortens dramatically, and recent ocean cooling becomes insignificant. The result is also
in better agreement with tide gauge observations.

The S/V Shoyo, of the Hydrographic Department, Japan Coast Guard, has conducted high-density expendable bathythermograph (XBT)
measurements along the 32.5°N line in the North Pacific every year from 1990 to 1993 as a part of the Japanese-World Ocean
Circulation Experiment (WOCE). These XBT data are analyzed here, focusing on year-to-year variations of the inventory and
core layer temperature (CLT) of the North Pacific subtropical mode water (NPSTMW). Large year-to-year changes are found in
the NPSTMW CLTs estimated in longitudes between 140°E and 160°E. CLT values were found of 17.4°C in 1990, 17.1°C in 1991,
17.3°C in 1992 and 17.6°C in 1993. Inspection of the wintertime westerlies over the formation area and sea surface temperature
distribution revealed that this change in CLT can be qualitatively attributed to the strength of atmospheric cooling in the
formation area in the previous winter. Although a large year-to-year variation of NPSTMW inventory was also found, it is hard
to state any relationship between CLT and atmospheric forcing. There is a possibility that different observational seasons
may affect the inventory. It has also been found that the thermocline depth in 1991 was shallower in the sea area east of
180° than in 1992 and 1993. Associated with this change, the North Pacific central mode water (NPCMW), characterized by thermostad
with temperatures ranging from 14°C to 11°C, appears in the sea area east of 180° in the 1992 and 1993 cross sections. The
1993 cross section, which ranged from the Japanese coast to the west coast of North America, possessed another thermostad
in the surface layer, with a temperature of about 17°C in the eastern part of the cross section, off California.

The accuracy of the manufacturer’s fall-rate equation for the T-5 Model of expendable bathythermograph (XBT) has been investigated based on about 300 collocated pairs of XBT-CTD (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth profiler) measurements in various climatological regions. We found that the equation systematically overestimates depth by about 5% for the T-5 produced by Tsurumi Seiki, Co. Ltd. (TSK), but almost no bias is associated with the T-5 produced by Sippican, Inc., in USA. The cause of this difference is not clear, because the two manufacturers’ T-5 probes are reported to have identical shape and weight in water. We propose a new fall-rate equation for the TSK T-5: z(t) = 6.54071t - 0.0018691t
2, where z(t) is depth in meters at time, t, in seconds. 相似文献

The accuracy of temperature measurement by the expendable bathythermograph (XBT) is examined for five types of recorders by
comparison with co-located CTD measurements and statistical analysis of temperature profiles including an isothermal layer.
A positive temperature error increasing downward is occasionally detected for two types of Japanese recorder which have been
commonly used among Japanese oceanographic institutions and marine observatories. This error resembles to that reported by
Bailey et al. (1989) and Wright (1991) for a different type of recorders, although its cause is not clearly understood. The irregular
occurrence of the error suggests that the problem is not solely due to the recorders but rather by some inconsistency of the
whole measuring system including them, an XBT probe and sea water. The error is estimated to increase at a rate of O (0.1°C/100 m), and it could be close to 1°C at the deepest part of the profiles (760 m for Tsurumi T-7).

The purpose of the current study is to introduce a set of mobile underwater positioning systems (MUPS) that will enable non-offshore vessels to execute underwater missions. Besides mobility, the system would also possess the advantage of having to use fewer acoustic instruments than conventional acoustic positioning systems. The method adopted by the system will involve the use of expendable and multi-functional bathythermographs (XBT) to measure the underwater acoustic speed and the depth of water at the same time. Then it must utilize the geometric relations formed by measuring the position of underwater targets at set intervals during navigation. In addition, since sound does not travel in a straight line when underwater, the iteration and convergence method must be used to perform corrections on the transmission speed and positional errors to obtain an accurate coordinate of the underwater target. After simulation testing, the positioning system established by the current study has proven to be fast in converging the error values along with high positioning accuracy of the system. The results of the study indicate that the MUPS built by the research institute can be utilized on a vessel, and will be very helpful in assisting the management of urgent underwater positioning missions. 相似文献

随着国产投弃式温深仪(XBT)性能的提高,其使用范围和规模也逐步扩大,受某专项办的委托,厦门大学在南海东北部开展了"海洋监测设备适用性检验规范及海上试验研究(国家863计划)"项目,针对海洋技术领域研发的技术较为成熟、具备产品化条件的XBT开展检验与验证,对国产XBT的性能和实际使用情况进行分析和总结。试验中,在不同站点进行温盐深仪(CTD)现场测量,以此数据为真值对国产和进口XBT精度做评估。在较高速度走航测量时,则以进口XBT数据为参照,对国产XBT进行评估。试验结果表明,国产XBT整体上表现良好,成功率大概为80%,有些型号的国产XBT精度与进口XBT精度接近,但国产XBT无效剖面较多。同时也发现,进口XBT的精度无法满足预期比测的要求,不能准确计算出国产XBT精度,但结果仍然具有参考价值。本次试验可以为国产XBT的规模化应用和推广提供数据支持,也可为其他型号XBT/XCTD/CTD等仪器的比测提供借鉴。 相似文献

Observations of the Kuroshio south of Taiwan have been carried out on a quarterly basis since late 1992 as part of the basin-wide
High Resolution expendable bathythermograph/expendable conductivity-temperature-depth (XBT/XCTD) network. Mean geostrophic
transport in the Kuroshio, 0–800 m, from 34 cruises is 22.0 Sv ± 1.5, consistent with previous results from moorings and geostrophic
calculations in the upstream Kuroshio region. The mean core of the current has speed about 90 cm s−1 and is located close to Taiwan. At this location the Kuroshio appears to be confined mainly to the upper 700 m, and there
is no evident tight recirculation of the current. Eddy variability is substantial, and large eddies can be seen propagating
westward for thousands of kilometers in TOPEX/Poseidon altimetric data, impinging on the current and altering its structure
and transport. The annual range in transport is about 8 Sv ± 6, with maximum in summer. Interannual variability is about 12
Sv ± 6, with transport maxima in 1995 and 2000 and a minimum in 1997–1998. Interannual variability in the upstream Kuroshio
may be uncorrelated with that in the downstream region south of Japan, where the transport is much greater. Our quarterly
sampling aliases high frequency variability of the current, and an improved boundary-current observation program would include
more frequent transects and occasional deeper measurements.

Low frequency variability in the tropical Atlantic is complex and hard to witness due to the weakness of this signal compared to the dominant seasonal one. TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason provide a new tool to enlighten these topics by offering more than 10 years of continuous altimetric series. In the tropical regions, due to the vanishing of the Coriolis parameter, uncertainties of a few centimeters in sea level can result in large errors on geostrophic velocity which will propagate rapidly over the entire basin. Accuracy is then a crucial problem for these areas. The ARAMIS program (Altimétrie sur un Rail Atlantique et Mesures In Situ) has been developed by the French Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) and Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) organizations in order to get a long-term survey of temperature, salinity and pCO2 structures in the tropical Atlantic along a merchant ship line. The first two ARAMIS cruises, in July 2002 and March 2003, were dedicated to Jason validation. The dynamical contrast between ARAMIS1 and ARAMIS2 is first analyzed here in agreement with seasonal variations of surface fluxes and wind forcing. Comparisons with TOPEX/Poseidon and JASON data are then presented in terms of sea level analysis. New geopotential models such as the Earth Gravitational Model 1996 (EGM96) that have become available with a resolution of undulations on the order of 50 km, are checked to get the absolute signal. Finally, the tropical Atlantic surface circulation characteristics are used to point out the agreements/discrepancies between all in situ/satellite products, as geostrophic current will emphasize the sea level results. 相似文献

Effect of Salinity on Estimating Geostrophic Transport of the Indonesian Throughflow along the IX1 XBT Section 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Geostrophic transport of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is estimated from optimally-interpolated temperature data along a frequently repeated expendable bathythermograph (XBT) section between Fremantle, Australia and Sunda Strait, Indonesia and from two historical temperature-salinity (T/S) relationship products, CSIRO Atlas for Regional Seas (CARS) and Levitus (1982). The annual mean ITF geostrophic transport relative to 400 m during 1984–2001 is estimated to be 4.6 Sv using the CARS T/S relationship, which is about 20% higher than that found using the Levitus T/S relationship. This transport increment is due to the fact that the CARS T/S relationship, which incorporates more recent hydrographic data, better resolves the low-salinity signature of the ITF water. Isothermal averaging in the CARS T/S relationship may also improve representations of the water mass signatures in deep layers. 相似文献
