A comparison of ECCO ocean estimates is being provided |
6 |
with independent observations at the HOT deep-water station. |
7 |
The goal is to compare and identify similar inter-annual changes in |
8 |
the HOT observations and use the ECCO estimates to infer their |
9 |
origin. Based on the ECCO WOCE synthesis, a complete balance of |
10 |
temperature and salinity (freshwater) anomalies will be provided |
11 |
at the HOT station to help interpret the local time series |
12 |
measurements as a function of depth. In addition we will use the |
13 |
adjoint framework to identify the area (in space and time) that |
14 |
can in principle be influenced by the HOT measurements in a |
15 |
dynamically consistent assimilation framework. |
