Evaluation of Indonesian-throughflow (ITF) transport estimated by ocean data assimilation (ODA) products using INSTANT observations Tong Lee Jet propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology Material extracted from Lee et al. (2009), submitted to ITF Special Issue in Dyn. Atmos. & Ocean

ITF important to global ocean circulation & climate variability (e.g., Hirst & Godfrey 1993, Lee et al. 2002, Song et al. 2007). INSTANT observations ( ) provide “near” direct measurements of ITF transport to evaluate ODA products. Mooring locations of the INSTANT Program ( ) ITF transport defined as the total Pacific-to-Indian Ocean volume transport through the Lombok and Ombai Straits and Timor Passage (see Fig.) ECCO mean ITF transport about 13 Sv, consistent with INSTANT estimate (15 Sv) to within uncertainty (25% ) ECCO2 has realistic time-mean transport through Lombok Strait, too much flow through Ombai, too little flow through Timor.

Comparison of seasonal & non-seasonal anomalies of ITF transport ECCO2 INSTANT Color curves represent other ODA products: CERFACS (France), ECCO-GODAE-v3, ECCO-JPL, ECMWF, INVG (Italy), Mercator (France), MOVE-G (Japan), SODA (all of which have lower resolutions, 0.4° to 2°) The better agreement between ECCO2 & INSTANT is attributed to its higher resolution on a C- grid that allows a better representation of flows through narrow channels (esp. deep signals from the IO, e.g., semi-annual waves) ECCO2 has a dominant semi-annual signal (like INSTANT). Other ODA products have dominant annual cycle

Using ECCO2 in a Sea State Bias Study J. Hausman and V. Zlotnicki Since wave troughs are better reflectors than wave crests, radar altimeters measure the sea surface lower than what it really is. To correct this you add a sea state bias (SSB). There are two methods to solve for SSB, consecutive cycle differences (CCD) and differences from a mean To see which method is more accurate we calculate SSB using wind and wave data from Jason-1 and sea surface height from ECCO2. Since model output has no SSB, the method that solved for SSB the closest to zero was the more accurate one. CCD was more accurate. Using a mean allows for decadal signals or other low frequencies to “leak” into the solution. Jason-1 Actual sea surface Measured sea surface SSB SSB (mm) for CCD

Brian Dushaw: Perth to Bermuda sound speed propagation Color shows meridional gradient of mode-1 phase speed. Does not include bathymetric and higher-mode propagations. Mode-1 sound speed gradients alone do not allow ray paths to reach Bermuda.
