Abstract The JET 2019–2020 scientific and technological programme exploited the results of years concerted engineering work, including ITER-like wall (ILW: Be W divertor) installed in 2010, improved diagnostic capabilities now fully available, a major neutral beam injection upgrade providing record power 2019–2020, tested technical procedural preparation for safe operation with tritium. Research along three complementary axes yielded wealth new results. Firstly, plasma delivered scenarios...
An empirical orthogonal function–based technique called Data Interpolating Empirical Orthogonal Functions (DINEOF) is used in a multivariate approach to reconstruct missing data. Sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll concentration, and QuikSCAT winds are assess the benefit of reconstruction. In particular, combination SST plus chlorophyll, lagged have been studied. To quality reconstructions, reconstructed compared situ The as well significantly improves results obtained by...
Abstract The surface circulation of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf Mexico is studied using 13 years satellite altimetry data. Variability in evident over several time scales. At annual scale, sea height (SSH) varies mainly by a seasonal steric effect. Interannually, longer cycle affects SSH slope across current hence intensity Current. This found to be related changes wind intensity, stress curl, El Niño–Southern Oscillation. shorter scales, eddies meanders are observed Current, their...
This paper compares several commonly used state-of-the-art ensemble-based data assimilation methods in a coherent mathematical notation. The study encompasses different that are applicable to high-dimensional geophysical systems, like ocean and atmosphere provide an uncertainty estimate. Most variants of Ensemble Kalman Filters, Particle Filters second-order exact discussed, including Gaussian Mixture while require adjoint model or tangent linear formulation the excluded. detailed...
Ocean reanalyses combine ocean models, atmospheric forcing fluxes, and observations using data assimilation to give a four-dimensional description of the ocean. Metrics assessing their reliability have improved over time, allowing become an important tool in climate services that provide more complete picture changing end users. Besides monitoring research, are used initialize sub-seasonal multi-annual predictions, support observational network monitoring, evaluate model simulations. These...
In this paper, we outline the need for a coordinated international effort toward building of an open-access Global Ocean Oxygen Database and ATlas (GO 2 DAT) complying with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). GO DAT will combine data from coastal open ocean, as measured by chemical Winkler titration method or sensors (e.g., optodes, electrodes) Eulerian Lagrangian platforms ships, moorings, profiling floats, gliders, ships opportunities, marine mammals, cabled...

Numerous climatologies are available at different resolutions and cover various parts of the global ocean. Most them have a resolution too low to represent suitably regional processes methods for their construction not able take into account influence physical effects (topographic constraints, boundary conditions, advection, etc.). A high‐resolution atlas temperature salinity is developed northeast Atlantic Ocean on 33 depth levels. The originality this climatology twofold: (1) For data set,...
