Ocean Modeling Matt McKnight Boxuan Gu Engineering the system The Earth Understanding that the Oceans are inextricably linked to the world’s climate is easy. Describing this relationship is more difficult, but starts from the basics The Climate The Details Without question we need a coupled atmospheric model Taking into consideration other numerical models Atmospheric Radiation Solar Radiation The sensible heat Heat flux Water density Evaporation Current Wind stress Temperature diffusion Dynamic Models Atmosphere Larger spatial scale eddies Much better observation Globe-spanning Ocean Order of magnitude smaller eddies Little data Limited surface Atmospheric Coupling Interpolate between the atmosphere and ocean grids Compute fluxes Fresh water Sensible heat Latent heat Sea Ice The Ocean We would like to have a very fine resolution = 0.25 degrees because your average beach home doesn’t occupy much space on the map Currents are more narrow at the poles and equator so we want even higher resolution Ocean Floor To be as accurate as possible, we would like to have details about the ocean floor. The ocean floor is mostly unexplored and unmapped. Leaving many basic questions about the oceans unanswered Ocean Floor The knowledge of deep currents is currently very limited. Modern systems use up 120 sound beams to produce maps up to 15 kilometers wide along a ship’s track Satellite imaging is also used to resolve detail below the surface Starting the Simulation Due to little data from observations, especially sub-surface, we have initialization problems Use only atmospheric data to start Some models start with zero motion Systematic Bias Errors in the annual cycle Climate drift depending on forecast lead time Wavewatch III A forecast from NOAA REAL-TIME OCEAN MODELINGSYSTEMS Preface The first operational weather prediction occurred in May 1955 as a joint United States Air Force, Navy, and Weather Bureau project. In principle, numerical ocean modeling is similar to atmospher
