OD13A:
Toward a Subsurface Ocean Climate Record and Applications that Improve Understanding of Climate Variability and Change I


Session ID#: 11452

Session Description:
This session aims to bring together scientists working on improving ocean profile datasets with those who use these data for climate research. The intention is to promote dialogue between these communities as we work towards a climate-quality ocean profile database to support advances in our understanding of climate variability and change.

Historical ocean profile observations underpin a host of ocean and climate research activities, including decadal prediction and understanding variations in Earth's energy imbalance, the water cycle and sea level. These data have been collected with various technologies and their accuracies and biases remain poorly determined and documented.

We invite contributions on all aspects of global and regional subsurface ocean dataset development, including: data archaeology; quality control methods; mapping procedures; and uncertainty estimates.

We also invite contributions based on use of subsurface data, such as: ocean state estimation; seasonal-to-decadal prediction; climate monitoring; and model evaluation. Work that employs several datasets to explore structural uncertainty is particularly welcome.

The emphasis of this session is on the “physical” ocean variables of temperature, salinity, and related quantities (such as heat/freshwater storage, the ocean mixed layer and steric sea level). Work based on biogeochemical tracers and other ocean variables may also be considered.
