Ozeanwirbeldynamik analysiert anhand von TOPEX-JASON Tandem Altimeterdaten und numerischen Zirkulationsmodellen
Final Report Abstract
In the project "TANDEM" we investigate the usefulness of remotely sensed surface geostrophic velocities versus the more conventional altimetric sea surface heighl for determining ocean mean flow and eddy dynamics. Orbiting of the JASON and TOPEX-POSEIDON (T/P) satellites in parallel during the TANDEM mission allowed for calculation of surface velocities from the sea surface height (SSH) data. We assimilate such derived surface velocity data along their virtual tracks into the Finite Element Ocean Model (FEOM) of North Allantic developed al the Alfred-Wegener Institul (AWI). This model uses continuous linear representation for the horizonlal velocity, surface elevation, lemperature and salinity, and solves the standard set of hydrostatic ocean dynamic primitive equations. Assimilation is done using the Singular Evolutive Interpolated Kalman (SEIK) Filter. For comparison, assimilation of only the altimetry data from the TANDEM mission is also performed. We investigate assimilation results depending on whether the observed field or its gradient is assimilated. There is no conclusive evidence that either of the two methods has an advantage. Both assimilation techniques seem not to improve the model significantly. Two possible developments may change this early conclusion: Enhancing the model resolution in the areas that are particulary problematic or the application of localization in the context of Kalman Filtering. First attempts to modify the SEIK algorithm to increase the rank of the inversion and improve the local analysis are encouraging.
