1 John Kindle Sergio derada Igor Shulman Ole Martin Smedstad Stephanie Anderson Data Assimilation in Coastal Modeing April

2 MODELS Motivation: Global->Coastal Real-Time Regional Coastal Models Global (NCOM) Models California Monterey Bay Current (MB) System (CCS) 1/12-degree 30-50N, W GLOBAL HYCOM - Mercator Grid(+bi-polar) (~7Km N, -32 Layer ρ/σ/z W (σ2) -1/12-degree ~1-4Km Expt 60.5 Resolution (O-M CCS Smedstad) HYCOM Layer σ levels ρ/σ/z (σ2) 1/8-degree - Mercator Orthogonal GLOBAL grid curvilinear NCOM (~7km) -Curvilinear 239x312 grid (~12Km) -41 Level σ/z (19/21) -- GLB8_2f 81x58(operational) 1/12-degree - NCODA data CCS assimilation NCOM - 41 Level σ/z (19/21) - Lat/Lon grid (~9Km) - 163x229 Igor Shulman

3 The Global Models: HYCOM 1/12º Global HYCOM Configuration Horizontal grid: 1/12 equatorial resolution 4500 x 3298 grid points, ~6.5 km spacing on average, ~3.5 km at pole Mercator 79 S to 47 N, then Arctic dipole patch Vertical coordinate surfaces: 32 hybrid layers with z-levels near surface, sigma in shallow water and isopycnal interior coordinates KPP mixed layer model & thermodynamic sea-ice model Surface forcing: 3 hourly wind stress, wind speed, thermal forcing, precipitation, relaxation to climatological SSS from.5 deg. NOGAPS Monthly river runoff (986 rivers) Initialize from January climatology (GDEM3) T and S, then SSS relaxation from PHC 3.0 NCODA used for data assimilation. Multi-variate OI scheme ( see Smedstad et al poster) Assimilates altimeter SSH ( 3 altimteters), MCSST, observed profiles of T & S Cooper-Haines vertical projection

4 The Global Models: NCOM 1/8º Global NCOM Configuration Horizontal grid: 1/8 equatorial resolution Curvilinear grid from 78S to 90N Vertical coordinate surfaces: 40 hybrid layers with 19 sigma levels in upper 150m over 21 z-levels. Mellor-Yamada mixed layer model Surface forcing: 3 hourly wind stress, wind speed, thermal forcing, precipitation, relaxation to climatological SSS from.5 deg. NOGAPS Monthly river runoff (1003 rivers) Operationally available sea-surface temperature (MCSST) and altimetry (SSH) data are incorporated into the NAVO Modular Ocean Data Assimilation System (MODAS) and Navy Layered Ocean Model (NLOM) analyses with forecasts of SSH and SST. These surface fields are combined with the MODAS synthetic database to yield threedimensional fields of temperature and salinity for assimilation into global NCOM.

5 Global Models: Availability 1/8º Global NCOM: NRL LAS-DODS Server for Fields older than 30 days Real-time available through NRL PI s s for research collaborations 1999-present Regional NCOM CCS ( 9 km and 4km) NRL LAS-DODS Server 1999-present in near real time Includes biological fields 1/12 Degree Real-time Global HYCOM Available in future from FSU( COAPS) 100 TB Server 24 hour delay

6 MODULAR OCEAN DATA ASSIMILATION SYSTEM Synthetic CTD Profiles from Satellite Measurements Climatological Temp MODAS results Actual AXBT Temp SSH + SST + Clim Satellite measurements and MODAS synthetic profile algorithms reveal ocean feature details. MODAS Temperature at 200m This will now be used as a first guess field to blend in any local data.

31 CONCLUSIONS Real-time global NCOM and HYCOM simulations are being conducted, the results of which will be made available to the community for coastal modeling efforts NCOM Global( 1/8 th deg): NRL LAS-DODS after 30 day delay HYCOM Global( 1/12 th deg.): FSU COAPS LAS-DODS Server NCOM CCS ( 9 and 4 km): NRL LAS-DODS server: 24 hr delay NCOM is the Navy operational model; HYCOM will be transitioned to NAVO for operational testing in Fall 2007 Both Global NCOM and HYCOM provide adequate representations of mesoscale variability in CCS domain Thermocline spread is a known issue for both in CCS; problem is being addressed Can provide adequate boundary values for higher resolution coastal models. Results are consistent with expectations. The closer the boundary values are to observations, the less burden is placed on the assimilation scheme for the hi-res model
