Huck Low-frequency variations of the large-scale ocean circulation and heat transport in the North Atlantic from in situ temperature and salinity data T. Huck and P. Bellec analyzed TS fields: F.

Goals Use of Argo and historical hydrological data for monitoring: ▫ocean properties  large-scale ocean circulation and transports Methodology ▫Statistics ▫Optimal estimation  Robust diagnostic model ▫Inversion ▫Assimilation

Variations of maximum meridional heat transport (MHT), thermohaline circulation streamfunction (THC) and barotropic streamfunction (BSF) are in phase in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre [Huck et al GRL] Comparison of 3 simple methods for constraining ocean models to temperature and salinity fields: RD Robust Diagnostic CT Constant Tracer PR Short Prognostic implemented in a ½° Atlantic configuration with ROMS. Pentadal TS anomalies from World Ocean Database 2004 (Levitus, NODC) from to Surface forcing from NCEP/ERA40. First methodological step

Method ▫ Ocean General Circulation Model NEMO: global ½ ◦ configuration ORCA05 (Drakkar) ‏ ▫ Atmospheric forcing based on ERA40 reanalysis "DFS4" [Brodeau et al OM] ▫ robust diagnostic: 3D restoring with coefficient decreasing with depth and close to bottom and coast [Madec and Imbard 1996 CD] ▫ temperature/salinity fields for 3D restoring: WOD04 pentadal anomalies m + WOA05 seasonal cycle [Levitus et al. 2005; Boyer et al. 2005] Atlantic: annual fields ARIVO ARRATY m; WOA05 elsewhere °S-70°N: monthly fields ARIVO ARRAGL m; WOA05 elsewhere [von Schuckmann et al JGR] Initial conditions for 1958: anomalies

3D restoring coefficient

Heat content trend DATA: WOD2004 PROGNOSTIC: ROBUST DIAGNOSTIC:

ATLANTIC MOC and MHT at 48 ⁰ N and 24 ⁰ N

PROGNOSTIC MODEL: SENSITIVITY TO INITIAL CONDITIONS > INITIAL CONDITIONS INFLUENCE DOES NOT DECREASE WITH TIME DESPITE SURFACE RESTORING

ATLANTIC MOC and MHT at 48°N and 24°N: SENSITIVITY TO THE RESTORING COEFFICIENT > SOME INFLUENCE ON DECADAL VARIABILITY AMPLITUDE AND TREND

Conclusion / discussion (+) Reconstruction of MOC and MHT variations (3 Sv 0.15 PW) associated with the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMO), in relative agreement with prognostic runs: significant reduction of mass and heat transport at 48°N since 1995, opposite to the long-term tendancy (-) Problem/questions ▫ major influence of model configuration on transports absolute values ▫ 'spin up' : prognostic models drift over decades... adjustement vs. response to forcing? ▫ inhomogeneity of forcing and TS fields over past 50 years... ▫ influence of hydrology variations below 2000/3000m? in progress: comparison with hydrology/current measurements on repeated Portugal-Greenland sections Ovide in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010 to estimate the efficiency of the 3D restoring term...
