14 The Argo array is providing deep temperature profiles for ocean analysis in numbers and coverage previously unavailable. Argo is also providing salinity profiles in numbers that are now practical for use in global analysis.

15 Current operational GODAS Temperature profiles from Argo, XBTs, TAO moorings The depth of the assimilation is 750 meters. Temperature profiles from Argo, XBTs, TAO moorings The depth of the assimilation is 2200 meters. Deep assimilation in GODAS-X Assimilating deep Argo temperature profiles has improved the accuracy of the GODAS at mid-depths.

16 Independent WOCE CTD section completed in 1988 & 1989 … …and repeated in 2003 & 2005 by PMEL. Standard Deep Standard vs. Deep assimilation Shallow assimilation has a strong cold bias of 1-3 o C below 750 m. Deep assimilation eliminates the cold bias.

17 Current operational GODAS Temperature profiles from Argo, XBTs, TAO moorings Salinity profiles are 100% synthetic (via TS-relationship) Temperature profiles from Argo and XBTs only Salinity profiles are 75% observed (Argo) and 25% synthetic (XBTs) Argo salinity in GODAS-A/S Assimilating Argo salinity profiles has had an unexpected impact on tropical Pacific currents.

18 Assimilating Argo Salinity Oper GODAS GODAS-A/S Salinity variability due to correlation with temperature. Salinity variability introduced by observations. Equatorial salinity section in the Pacific (vertical bars show positions of time-series below).

19 Assimilating Argo Salinity ADCP GODAS GODAS-A/S In the east, assimilating Argo salinity reduces the bias at the surface and sharpens the profile below the thermocline at 110 o W. In the west, assimilating Argo salinity corrects the bias at the surface and the depth of the undercurrent core and captures the complex structure at 165 o E. Comparison with independent ADCP currents.
