Output from a cyclone detection and tracking algorithm, applied to twice-daily sea level pressure (SLP) fields for the period 1966–93, is used examine characteristics of activity associated with locus mean Icelandic low (IL), variability during extremes North Atlantic oscillation (NAO), recent changes in relation circulation over Northern Hemisphere. Cyclone events within climatological IL display modest seasonal cycle winter maximum. However, systems are considerably deeper than their...
The Argo Program has been implemented and sustained for almost two decades, as a global array of about 4000 profiling floats. provides continuous observations ocean temperature salinity versus pressure, from the sea surface to 2000 dbar. successful installation its innovative data management system arose opportunistically combination great scientific need technological innovation. Through system, fundamental physical with broad societally-valuable applications, built on cost-efficient robust...
In the past two decades, Argo Program has collected, processed and distributed over million vertical profiles of temperature salinity from upper kilometers global ocean. A similar number subsurface velocity observations near 1000 dbar have also been collected. This paper recounts history Program, its aspiration arising out World Ocean Circulation Experiment, to development implementation instrumentation telecommunication systems, various technical problems encountered. We describe data...
Marine animals equipped with biological and physical electronic sensors have produced long-term data streams on key marine environmental variables, hydrography, animal behavior ecology. These are an essential component of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). The Animal Borne Sensors (AniBOS) network aims to coordinate collection delivery streams, providing a complementary capability other GOOS networks that monitor Essential Variables (EOVs), climate variables (ECVs) biodiversity...
The value of global (e.g. altimetry, satellite sea-surface temperature, Argo) and regional radars, gliders, instrumented mammals, airborne profiles biogeochemical) observation-types for monitoring the mesoscale ocean circulation biogeochemistry is demonstrated using a suite prediction systems remotely-sensed data. A range techniques used to demonstrate different benefit high-resolution adaptive sampling circulation. include Observing System Experiments, Simulation adjoint sensitivities,...
The ocean plays a key role in the climate system, and therefore change threat. About 90% of heat excess absorbed since 1970’s is stored changes hydrological cycle related to are also strongly manifested ocean. In addition, acts as net anthropogenic carbon sink, presently assessed one fourth global uptake, moderator change. It paramount importance monitor properties over long periods, with coverage.Argo has transformed way observing last decades most important source situ marine...
Argo is a major component of both the Global Ocean Observing System and Climate System, providing near-real time data for ocean atmospheric services high-quality climate research. The initial Core mission aimed to measure temperature salinity in upper 2,000 metres global from 60°N 60°S. Successful pilot studies carried out 2010's have shown potential technology readiness extend its towards greater depths biogeochemistry (BGC). Since 2020, progressively transitioning OneArgo, an enhancement...
Summary 1. Hydroacoustics (2002–04) and long‐term oxygen data (1969–2004) have been used in conjunction to examine the habitat of Arctic charr north south basins Windermere, U.K., a temperate lake subjected cultural eutrophication subsequent nutrient management. 2. Since 1969 there has gradual decline concentration bottom waters both 0.03–0.04 mg L −1 year , resulting up 43% volume basin having an <5 early autumn. 3. Hydroacoustic indicate that most routinely avoid upper 10 m water column...
1. The Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires the assessment of acidification in sensitive water bodies. Chemical and littoral macroinvertebrate samples were collected to assess clear humic lakes UK. 2. Of three acid-sensitive metrics that regressed against acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) pH, highly significant responses detected using Lake Acidification Macroinvertebrate Metric (LAMM). This metric was used assign high, good, moderate, poor bad status classes, as required by WFD. 3. In...
Temperature and salinity profiles are being obtained from instrumented marine mammals in near real‐time. The mammals, mostly elephant seals, sample to depths of up 2000 m high‐latitude regions where there very few other situ observations. This study investigates the impact mammal temperature observations on UK Met Office's global ocean forecasting model, focussing impacts Southern Ocean region. Three reanalyses were performed, each assimilating a varying amount seal data whilst holding all...
Wave measurements are presently made by the Met Office from moored buoys and lightvessels around UK used for coastal flooding prediction, marine forecasting, wave climate studies validation of forecast models. However, it has long been suspected that less accurate than those buoys. This paper presents results a study comparing both lightvessel buoy period 2011–2014 inclusive against output model to examine whether there is systematic deficiency in measurements. The analysis showed generally...
The Argo Programme is a major component of both the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and Climate (GCOS), providing near-real time data for ocean atmospheric services high-quality climate research. Although originally designed to provide temperature salinity profiles in upper 2 km ice-free ocean, array has been expanded into seasonal ice zones. In addition, regional pilot programmes have demonstrated that some floats can now measure biogeochemical parameters address oceanic uptake carbon,...
