KORDI’s observation project focusing on the tropical western Pacific Jae Hak Lee (李載學) Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute NOAA OCO ASR, October 28, 2010, Silver Spring
Hu et al. (2010) Background • Prediction of future regional climate • Understanding of climate change dynamics
Background Nature (2009)
GAIA Project (2009-2019) • Development of a high resolution climate model
GAIA Project (2009-2019) Ocean Observation Time series data Large scale Air-sea interaction Mixing parameterization Climate Change Science Data Assimilation System Reanalysis data Analysis of modeling results Improvement of model High Resolution Climate Model IPCC 6th Report
Themes of observational foci • Mixing parameterization - Sub grid scale phenomena • Ocean monitoring - Upper layer in the equatorial Pacific - Low latitude western boundary currents - Indonesian through flow
Parameterization • Important for climate model • Atmosphere - Cloud • Ocean - Surface mixed layer mixing -Thermocline mixing
Equatorial thermocline mixing • Predominance of small vertical scale structures in the velocity field • New ocean mixing parameterization schemes is needed
Thermocline mixing • Upper 400 m depth along a TAO/TRITON line • CTD, LADCP/600kHz, MSP, (Glider) • 2009 ~ 10 : planning, pilot cruise • 2011 ~ 12 : main experiment - KORDI / IPRC(UH) / JAMSTEC - 2010: RV Mirai, 2011: RV Onnuri, 2012: RV Onnuri, US ship
Monitoring (Equatorial upper layer) • TAO/TRITON extension • KORDI - NOAA cooperation • 3 Data buoy & 2 ADCP mooring • 2010 ~ 11: planning • 2013 ~ : field campaign
Monitoring (LLWBC & ITF) • Current meter mooring & hydrographic survey • 2010 ~ 2011: planning - NPOCE (CLIVAR endorsed project) - ITF monitoring program • 2012 or 2013 ~: field campaign
NPOCE Northwestern Pacific Ocean Circulation and Climate Experiment • CLIVAR endorsed project • Themes of Scientific Foci • Western Boundary Currents • Interaction with Ambient Circulation Systems • Roles in Warm Pool Maintenance and Variability • Regional Air-sea Interaction and Climate Impacts
