Outline Introduction : How to quantify DW in the Arctic ? Reference: Previous « night » vs foundation SST? Buoy observations (drifters) Application to satellite data Modelling Conclusion Arctic SST workshop, Exeter 18-19 December 2013 SST variability meeting, Lannion 3 Nov. 2011
Buoys observations : drifters DW vs lst in arctic What is DW ? Buoys observations : drifters DW vs lst in arctic DW = sst -ref_sst Ref_sst= previous « night » SST : the mean SST value between 20 lst the day before and 10 lst the same day Previous night SST is DW contaminated (most of the time) Can we use foundation SST as a reference ?

Salinity assumption? Arctic SST workshop, Exeter 18-19 December 2013 SST variability meeting, Lannion 3 Nov. 2011
Conclusion With drifter data, a « solar warming amplitude» over several days can be determined with SST foundation With satellite data, the scarcity of wind >7m/s in clear sky does not permit to determine SST foundation (and solar warming events are difficult to quantify) The use of daily reference permits to detect Diurnal Warming. Localized amplitudes as large as 4 to 5 K are observed up to 80 North It 's difficult to simulate such amplitudes unless we make extreme assumptions.
