Ocean Data Assimilation for the TOGA-COARE Program

热带海洋全球大气（TOGA）计划的耦合海洋大气响应实验（COARE）将开发一个中尺度海洋数据同化，以生成一个动态一致的海洋场地图集，供所有COARE研究人员使用，然后使用该地图集研究热带太平洋西部暖池的上层海洋物理过程。特别是对温跃层内盐度平流的重要性和三维环流对混合层演化的影响进行了评价。最后，研究了赤道急流自旋降过程中高能亚中尺度涡旋的演化过程。

Rothstein 9613363 A mesoscale ocean data assimilation will be developed for the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program to produce a dynamically consistent atlas of oceanic fields to be made available to all COARE Investigators and then use this atlas to investigate upper ocean physical processes in warm pool of the western tropical Pacific Ocean. In particular, the importance of salinity advection within the thermocline and the influence of the three-dimensional circulation on mixed layer evolution will be assessed. Finally, the evolution of energetic sub- mesoscale eddies during equatorial jet spin-down will studied.
