Part 2: GOM assimilation using Kathy’s SSHa observations • 6 cases: (1 day assimilation time interval) • Case A: Assimssh • Case B: Assimssh + Kathy’s obs (immediately) • Case C: Assimssh + Kathy’s obs (0.5 day later) • Case D: AssimEnoi • Case E: AssimEnoi + Kathy’s obs (immediately) • Case F: AssimEnoi + Kathy’s obs (0.5 day later)
Domain and obs time coverage • 2003-4-9 to 2004-3-26
Case B Spatial CC Temporal CC
Compare Satellite and Kathy’s obs • Exclude data point where spatial CC < 0.7
Case B Before exclude After exclude
Case A Before exclude After exclude
Case C Before exclude After exclude
Case D Before exclude After exclude
Case E Before exclude After exclude
Case F Before exclude After exclude
Part 2 conclusions • Difference between satellite and Kathy’s observation does affect assimilation significantly. • Difference lasts longer, results are much worse. • The region of low temporal CC is related to the difference between satellite and Kathy’s observation.
