Period of interest:

Argo rich period, from ~2004

much consolidated data base for those recent years

room for better understanding of ocean behavior.

Incentive for GCM-interpolation:

complement obs. constraints with dyn./atm. constraints

and extend interpretation of observations.

Objection to GCM-interpolation:

errors in dyn./atm. may prevent close fit to obs.

a basic matter of balance amongst the various constraints.

Page 3: On one year  adjoint/Argo estimates

What is the trade-off in 1 year adjoint estimates:

+ rather large data base over one year

+ relatively easy to achieve close fit to obs.

+ (-?) GCM dynamics imposed up to seasonal cycle

- (+?) adjustments to dynamics for longer time-scales

Some success with 1 degree resolution, global, over 2004-5-6.

close fit to obs.

extended interpretation of observation

From Green’s function to Adjoint:

practical for large dimension problem

well-adjusted to both regional & global fitting

1 year, global, 1/6 degree:

manageable computational cost

fairly close fit, water mass studies, etc.

Page 14: On one year  adjoint/Argo estimates

Components in practice

Adjoint ok for cube sphere

Line Search ok offline

Controls ok for Init./forcing/mixing

Observations same as for 1 degree (?)

Error covariances same as for 1 degree (?)

first guess/spin-up start from 1 degree results
