Sentences with phrase «argo observation system»

Not exact matches

Rather than use a model - based estimate, as did Hansen (2005) and Trenberth (2009), the authors achieve this by calculating it from observations of ocean heat content (down to 1800 metres) from the PMEL / JPL / JIMAR data sets over the period July 2005 to June 2010 - a time period dominated by the superior ARGO - based system.

The change of the locations of the observations (horizontal sampling) during the past 50 years is responsible for this divergence, because Ship - based system pre-2000 has insufficient sampling on the global ocean for instance in Southern Hemisphere, while these area begin to achieve full sampling in this century by Argo system.

Recent ocean heat content (OHC) calculations have shown a dramatic shift during the period 2001 — 2003, which is nearly coincident with a major transition in the ocean observation network from a ship - based system to Argo floats.

An observing system serving this purpose would be one where a few critical in situ observations, coupled with satellite observations and the Argo float array, provide a reliable and sustainable measure of the AMOC for decades to come.

Enhancements such as «deep Argo», «bio-Argo», full - depth gliders, and enhanced moored observations should be evaluated in the context of a full - depth observing system.

To move one step closer to understanding Earth's perturbed energy budget, we need a full depth, global ocean observation system — a deep Argo.
