Spurious trends in global surface drifter currents
The Global Drifter Program (GDP) has been measuring near-surface ocean currents with surface drifters since 1979. At least half of the World Ocean now has drifter velocity time series longer than 15 years. The availability of this data opens new opportunities to explore observationally how ocean circulation responds to changing surface forcing. In this paper we report evidence of an apparently ...
متن کاملMean Surface Circulation of the Global Ocean Inferred from Satellite Altimeter and Drifter Data
Sea level anomaly from satellite altimetry and in situ near-surface drifter velocities, combined within a simplified equation of horizontal momentum, reveal peculiar dynamical balances in the strongest known currents of the World Ocean. In the Gulf Stream, this study demonstrates the importance of centrifugal force due to the curvature of the streamlines. After filtering out Ekman currents (usi...
متن کاملERA-Interim/Land: a global land surface reanalysis data set
ERA-Interim/Land is a global land surface reanalysis data set covering the period 1979–2010. It describes the evolution of soil moisture, soil temperature and snowpack. ERA-Interim/Land is the result of a single 32-year simulation with the latest ECMWF (European Centre for MediumRange Weather Forecasts) land surface model driven by meteorological forcing from the ERA-Interim atmospheric reanaly...
متن کاملData structures for interactive high resolution level-set surface editing
This paper presents data structures that enable interactive editing of large-scale level-set surface models. The new approach utilizes spatial hashing to store a narrow band of voxels around the levelset interface, as well as a k-d tree to hold the model’s display points that lie on the surface itself. This sparse representation of voxels and surface points lets us create and modify high resolu...
متن کاملHourly Global Radiation Prediction from Geostationary Satellite Data
The possibility to generate 2-D predictions of solar radiation one hour ahead and over a large geographic area is the focus of this study. In that view, hourly satellite maps of irradiations extracted from the Heliosat-3 have been used as training data and inputs of artificial neural networks (ANN) and as inputs for apersistence model. These models were computed for each point of the map, allow...
