It’s a big country, with a lot happening

David Griffin
Forecasting currents is like weather forecasting
• People talk about using models to interpolate observations (time and space) and/or extrapolate to other variables• That’s true but remember: • 1) models only represent a subset (length- and time-scales) of
reality• -> some details cannot be forecast• 2) eddy-resolving models generate eddies spontaneously, i.e.,
creates spectrum• - > a critical number of obs are required before skillful forecasts
(and accurate hindcasts) can be made• What can satellites provide?

Satellites are the principal means of making models track reality• Satellites are a cost-effective way of obtaining broad-scale
observations of a few key variables, continuously. • Especially cost effective for Australia. Remember that.• Sea level (-> geostrophic velocity), wave height, sea surface
temperature, salinity, gravity (->mass), colour (-> chl-a, bathymetry, etc)• But there’s a catch. The ‘oceanography’ needs to be carefully
teased from the raw data. Eg: ‘coastal altimetry’.• Hence the formation of space agency mission-specific science
teams.• We are invited to respond to the ESA Sentinel-3 AO (Nov)• We are already members of various STs. Typically in ‘spare time’.

Why measure sea level?
• Because you can.• Because SLA(x,y) = f(T(x,y,z), S(x,y,z))• But there’s a catch: the Earth is lumpy (>100m). • GRACE and GOCE measure the geoid down to 100km scales.• Sea level = Range – orbit - geoid – path_delays – aliases• Sea level = Range – orbit – MSS + MDT – path_delays – aliases • 0.20m = 1350km – 1300km – 50m + 1m – 0.2m – 0.2m• Spectrum of errors: 1cm to 2m• Mostly well controlled. Under-sampling is the main problem.

Altimetric sea level = steric height (+ barotropic)

Sea Surface Temperature
• Crucial for correcting drift in models• Meso-scale information mostly lost during assimilation• issues: cloud clearing, atmospheric corrections, geo-location,
diurnal variability• - > good validation information (when skies are clear)• Feature-track currents: a mix of good and bad• IMOS processes NOAA AVHRR and MODIS SST to GHRSST standard• Recently discovered: geolocation errors in CAPS• Microwave radiometers: low res but all-weather• Need to prepare for AVHRR replacements

Ocean Colour
• SeaWiFS, MODIS, MERIS• Under-exploited for a decade or more• IMOS now processing MODIS (aqua) routinely, from L0 data• NASA SeaDAS 6.1 -> 6.4 algorithms. • Back-process pre-2011 soon

Summary
• For modelling, altimetry, SST and Ocean colour are the mainstays• Gravity and salinity missions are the new kids on the block• Next talk: Synthetic Aperture Radar• Immediate future: Australian involvement in the ESA Sentinels. AO
announced in a month.• Australia – ESA collaboration agreement• Australia – India, Aust-China, …..
