1 Sea surface salinity from space: new tools for the ocean color community Joe Salisbury, Doug Vandemark, Chris Hunt, Janet Campbell, Dominic Wisser, Tim Moore (UNH) Nico Reul, Bertrand Chapron (IFREMR)
2 Outline: Aquarius and SMOS AMSR-E: the first SSS product from space Preliminary biogeochemical studies using remotely-sensed SSS and ocean color Can the ocean color community help the SSS community?
3
4 Importance: From the NASA Aquarius website: - Salinity has been sparsely detected at sea, limited mostly to summertime observations in shipping lanes: about 25% of the grid over ice-free oceans have never been sampled - Aquarius will collect more data in two months than had been amassed by ships and in-water sensors during the 100 years before launch

7 The data-related goals of Aquarius are: 1. Provide the first global observations of SSS, covering Earth's surface once every 7 days 2. Deliver monthly 150-kilometer resolution SSS maps over a 3-year mission lifetime 3. Achieve SSS accuracy of 0.2 psu

12 Nevertheless: we found a robust salinity in tropical waters (SST>26C), using T T 6.8GHz 10.7GHz Bv T Sensitivity B= of T Bv b to several ocean and atmospheric variables
13 AMSR-E used to generate monthly SSS maps ( ) (0.25 degree from ~56km original data)
14 AMSR-E SSS product validation: match-up with in situ data compiled monthly ( ) ARGO TSG 0.25 res PIRATA Drifters

26 Focus on the western tropical Atlantic with SSS and ocean color: Manuscript: Spatial and temporal coherence between Amazon discharge, salinity and light absorption by colored organic carbon in the surface western tropical Atlantic.
27 Comparison of seasonal climatologies ( )
28 Time series of ocean color and salinity along plume trajectories Analysis locations based on segments of low salinity plume trajectory (proximal: 0-600km, distal: km)
29 Monthly time-series of discharge, AMSR-E SSS, and acdm 443 along the plume trajectory from the km
30 Can we use AMSR-E SSS and ocean color data to further our knowledge of ocean biogeochemistry? Preliminary study of acdm anomalies along the Amazon plume trajectory
31 Preliminary study of acdm anomalies along the Amazon plume trajectory - For each month in the time series, we considered a conservative relationship between salinity and acdm 443. (Only along the low-salinity trajectory of the plume) - Plotted salinity versus the anomaly of the SSS - acdm 443 relationship - Analyzed the anomalies in terms of distance from Amazon mouth and ocean color variables.
32 Salinity, residuals of linear regressions, distance from source Evidence for autotrophic subsidies of acdm? Evidence for acdm photobleaching?
33 RESULT: A NEW SSS PRODUCT with rms < 1 psu in tropical waters to complement SMOS & AQUARIUS (and go back to 2002) AMSR-E data available now for evaluating: Spatial SSS structure Temporal SSS signatures over a 8 year period Blending of satellite products using ocean color, AMSR-E, Aquarius, SMOS, SST Land-ocean interaction studies near tropical river plume regions and open ocean rain pools
34 Can ocean color help the SSS community? The grid is the approximate resolution of monthly Aquarius data (150km),..and the buffer is about 2 pixels (300km)
35 Intermediate steps: AMSR-E can help resolve within-pixel variability in warm waters salinity
36 Intermediate steps: AMSR-E can also get closer to the coast salinity
37 Merged product: AMSR SSS (left) and SSS <34 estimated from acdm 443 (right)
38 What s next? Create global AMSR-E SSS product for >26C (Indian Ocean underway!) Characterize regional variability in relationships between salinity and absorption Study effects of photobleaching and autotrophy on conservative mixing anomalies Pray for a successful Aquarius launch
