2 Observational Data
3 It is an urgent need to establish monthly varying (T, S, u, v) gridded dataset from GTSPP and Argo trajectory data Oceanographic and Climate Studies
4 Ocean Data Analysis Classical Method Fourier Series Expansion
5 Joseph Fourier Fourier was obsessed with the physics of heat and developed the Fourier series and transform to model heat-flow problems.
6 Fourier Series Expansion For a rectangular region (L x, L y ), the basis functions are sinusoidal functions. i x f ( x, y) aij sin sin L b i j x y cos i x cos j y ij i j Lx Ly j y L
7 For the Dirichret boundary condition : f = 0 at the boundaries i x f ( x, y) aij sin sin L j y L i j x y The dots represent the Observations.
8 Linear Algebraic Equations for the Coefficients a ij ob ob i x f ( x1, y1 ) aij sin sin L j y L ob ob 1 1 i j x y ob ob i x f ( x2, y2 ) aij sin sin L... j y L ob ob 2 2 i j x y ob i x f ( xm, ym ) aij sin sin L j y L ob ob ob M M i j x y
9 Determination of Spectral Coefficients (Ill-Posed Algebraic Equation)
10 Known a ij Analyzed Field i x f ( x, y) a sin sin L j y ij L i j x y
11 For the Neumann boundary condition at the boundaries n f 0 i x j y f ( x, y) bij cos cos L L i j x y The dots represent the Observations.
12 Linear Algebraic Equations for the Coefficients a ij ob ob i x f ( x1, y1 ) bij cos cos L j y L ob ob 1 1 i j x y ob ob i x f ( x2, y2 ) bij cos cos L... j y L ob ob 2 2 i j x y ob i x f ( xm, ym ) bij cos cos L j y L ob ob ob M M i j x y
13 Known b ij Analyzed Field i x f ( x, y) b cos cos L j y ij L i j x y

21 Benefits of Using OSD (1) Don t need first guess field (2) Don t need autocorrelation functions (3) Don t require high signal-to-noise ratio (4) Basis functions are pre-determined before the data analysis. They are independent on the data.
22 Optimal Mode Truncation

25 Determination of Spectral Coefficients (Ill-Posed Algebraic Equation) This is caused by the features of the matrix A.

61 Results Alongshore wind forcing is the major factor causing the synoptic current reversal. Other factors, such as the Mississippi- Atchafalaya River discharge and offshore eddies of Loop Current origin, may affect the reversal threshold, but can not cause the synoptic current reversal.

70 Monthly Temperature (500 m) in the Pacific Ocean since 1990 (analyzed from GTSPP)
71 Monthly Temperature (1000 m) in the Pacific Ocean since 1990
72 Conclusions OSD is a useful tool for processing realtime velocity data with short duration and limited-area sampling especially the GTSPP/Argo data. OSD has wide application in ocean data assimilation.
73 What is next? It is an urgent need to establish monthly varying (T, S, u, v) gridded dataset from GTSPP and Argo trajectory data Oceanographic and Climate Studies
74 Steps for GTSPP Data Analysis (1) Change the current data format one file for one profile into new data format one file for profiles in a month from January 1990 for individual ocean basin (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian oceans). (2) Reconstruct the profile data with the same month and year into grid points using the Optimal Spectral Decomposition (OSD) method.
