Zusammenfassung |
A water mass analysis method based on a constrained minimization technique
is developed to derive water property changes in water mass formation
regions from oceanographic station data taken at significant distance from
the formation regions. The method is tested with two synthetic data sets,
designed to mirror conditions in the North Atlantic at the Bermuda BATS time
series station.
The method requires careful definition of constraints before it produces
reliable results. It is shown that an analysis of the error fields under
different constraint assumptions can identify which properties vary most
over the period of the observations. The method reproduces the synthetic
data sets extremely well if all properties other than those that are
identified as undergoing significant variations are held constant during the
minimization. |
