Zusammenfassung |
Large-scale ocean transports of heat and freshwater have not been well
monitored, and yet the regional budgets of these quantities are important to
understanding the role of the oceans in climate and climate change. In
contrast, atmospheric heat and freshwater transports are commonly assessed
from atmospheric reanalysis products, despite the presence of non-conserving
data assimilation based on the wealth of distributed atmospheric
observations as constraints. The ability to carry out ocean reanalyses
globally at eddy-permitting resolutions of 1/4 ° or
better, along with new global ocean observation programs, now makes a similar
approach viable for the ocean. In this paper we examine the budgets and
transports within a global high resolution ocean model constrained by ocean
data assimilation, and compare them with independent oceanic and atmospheric
estimates. |
