  1. ASAP OSSE #1 – N Gliders per Track OSSE #1 being guided by “ASAP Team Adaptive Sampling Plan for Gliders in 2006 Field Experiment” – 27 July 2005 “A coordinated sampling pattern for the glider fleet that has been optimized with respect to the … objectives is referred to as an Optimal Coordinated Trajectory (OCT). Coordination refers to prescription of the relative location of all gliders (as a function of time). The plan assumes a minimum of 9 or 10 gliders, all to be coordinated as part of every OCT.” Robinson, Haley, Leslie

  2. ASAP OSSE #1 – N Gliders per Track OSSE Domains AOSN2 and ASAP Domains ASAP “Race-Tracks” Utilizes HOPS re-analysis with free surface model (no tides) http://oceans.deas.harvard.edu/AOSN2/OSSE2005/Exp0001/

  3. ASAP OSSE #1 – N Gliders per Track OSSE Definition • Ability of N gliders to quantitatively represent a simulated “true” ocean with and without melding with dynamics • Without dynamics: objectively analyze • After each complete circuit of N gliders (one circuit OA) • Once per day (more realistic) (one day OA) • With dynamics: assimilate data once per day and compare • A priori estimate • A posteriori estimate • Compare these estimates with once a day OA’s above

  4. ASAP OSSE #1 – N Gliders per Track Experiment Definition • Experiment #1 – simple ideal glider model extracting simulated CTD’s at regular intervals (mimics moving at constant speed) • Additional experiments: • Effects of currents • Glider drop-outs • Realistic SPRAY and SLOCUMB glider models • Tides and varying atmospheric forcing • Alternative tracks

  5. ASAP OSSE #1 – N Gliders per Track Experiment Details • Ave. spacing by gliders during AOSN-II (SIO: 1.59km, 2.26hr; WHOI: 0.325km, 0.631hr) • HOPS model resolution is ~1.5km, so the SIO gliders were chosen with the profile spacing reduced to the model resolution. • Time for single glider to complete one track is ~3.6 days, but temporal spacing was reduced to ~1.85 hr to reduce total travel time for a single glider to exactly 3 days. • Varying number (1-12 and 39) of gliders were used to sample HOPS re-analysis fields (39 is all grid points along-track)

  6. ASAP OSSE #1 – N Gliders per Track • Profiles from one circuit of N simulated gliders are OA’d and that OA field is compared on a point-by-point basis to the re-analysis field at the mid-point of the time window. • Six (6) gliders provides the best result. More than six provides no additional improvement.

  11. ASAP OSSE #1 – N Gliders per Track • Profiles from any one-day window from N simulated gliders are OA’d and that OA field is compared on a point-by-point basis to the re-analysis field at the mid-point in time of the one-day window. • The 39 glider comparison has not been done due to computational considerations. • Five (5) gliders provides the best result. More than five provides no additional improvement. However, five provides only marginally better results than does three (3) gliders.

  15. OSSE Research via HOPS/ESSE • Data for OSSEs and baselines • Real-data denials (DA of only a subset of AOSN-II data) • Synthetic ocean sub-sampling (Twin experiment using model data) • Baselines: (i) Model with no DA, (ii) Real data set, and (iii) Re-analysis • Select sub-sampling scenarios and compare the results of their DA, e.g. • Sample the boundary versus sample the interior • Sample upstream/downstream • Impact of specific data types (e.g. SST, etc) • Select optimal rectangular track location/properties (adaptive sampling) • Quantitative Objectives, e.g. • Minimize overall normalized uncertainties in ASAP region • Minimize (heat) flux/budget uncertainties • Maximize coverage, uncertainty reduction and dynamical hot-spots • OSSE Sensitivity Studies • Dynamical regimes (2 upwelling and 1 relaxation event) • Acoustics (FAF05: Wang, Schmidt) and LCSs uncertainties (with Lekien) • Predictability limit/Predictive capability

During AOSN-II: SIO Spray: Dx= 1.59 km, Dt = 2.26 hours • WHOI Slocumb: Dx= 0.325 km, Dt = 0.631 hours • Model:Fixed track, ug=cnst, w=1 and pitch angle a=900 • 1th Order: Adaptive Bearing, Constant Speed model • Glider sails at constant speed (|u0| , |w0| )towards set of waypoints, with a fixed pitch angle a0 in the vertical (turns at 5 m from the surface and from the bottom or max depth, e.g. 400 m) • Is advected by estimates of ocean currents (u,w) and continuously updates its bearing towards next waypoint • Model: • ug = u0(t) + u • w = w0(a(t)) + w witha(t) = §a0 • u0(t)= f(x(t), Pi )
