Improving Estimates of Earth’s Energy Balance
A letter recently published in
Nature Climate Change
details work partially funded by the CPO overviewing a strong agreement in measurements of Earth’s energy imbalance by
Argo Profiling Floats
and the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System, or
CERES
.
Because the ocean stores 90% of Earth’s energy imbalance, accurate measurements of ocean temperature are crucial. However, ocean heat energy changes are difficult to observe on a year to year basis despite the increase in observation data over the past decades.
The letter states that the agreement between the two independent measurements reinforces confidence in both Argo and CERES observations. These measurements also provide valuable insight for climate variability.

Compensation Between Meridional Flow Components of the Atlantic MOC
Jessica Mkitarian
April 20, 2016
Uncategorized
Compensation between meridional flow components of the Atlantic MOC
Research supported by CPO’s Climate Observation Division outlines new facts on the dynamics controlling Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) variability and highlights some of the unexpected interplay between the density variations in the deep portions of the western region and the direct wind forcing across the basin.
The research, ” Compensation between meridional flow components of the Atlantic MOC at 26° N,” was published on April 1, 2016, in
Ocean Science
, an interactive open-access journal of the European Geosciences Union.
This paper presents the 10-year record of meridional overturning circulation (MOC) observations that have been collected by the joint U.S. (NOAA & NSF) and U.K. (NERC) trans-basin array at 26°N in the Atlantic. These observations represent the longest continuous truly trans-basin observations of the MOC ever collected, and they have become the ‘gold standard’ against which other MOC observations as well as ocean and climate models are compared.
Abstract:
From ten years of observations of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) at 26° N (2004–2014), we revisit the question of flow compensation between components of the circulation. Contrasting with early results from the observations, transport variations of the Florida Current (FC) and upper mid-ocean (UMO) transports (top 1000 m east of the Bahamas) are now found to compensate on sub-annual timescales. The observed compensation between the FC and UMO transports is associated with horizontal circulation and means that this part of the correlated variability does not project onto the MOC. A deep baroclinic response to wind-forcing (Ekman transport) is also found in the lower North Atlantic Deep Water (LNADW; 3000–5000 m) transport. In contrast, co-variability between Ekman and the LNADW transports does contribute to overturning. On longer timescales, the southward UMO transport has continued to strengthen, resulting in a continued decline of the MOC. Most of this interannual variability of the MOC can be traced to changes in isopycnal displacements on the western boundary, within the top 1000 m and below 2000 m. Substantial trends are observed in isopycnal displacements in the deep ocean, underscoring the importance of deep boundary measurements to capture the variability of the Atlantic MOC.

A reconstruction of the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

A reconstruction of the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
A study published in Geophysical Research Letters shows that observed sea surface temperature could help study variability of the
South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
and its impacts on climate and extreme weather.
Researchers emphasized the importance of sustaining and combining ocean observing platforms with satellite observations.
This study was supported by the
CPO Climate Variability and Predictability program
and the
CPO Ocean Observing and Monitoring Division
.
Read the paper:
Lopez, H., G. Goni, and S. Dong (2017), A reconstructed South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation time series since 1870, Geophys. Res. Lett., 44, 3309–3318, doi:
10.1002/2017GL073227
.
Abstract:
This study reconstructs a century-long South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC) index. The reconstruction is possible due to its covariability with sea surface temperature (SST). A singular value decomposition (SVD) method is applied to the correlation matrix of SST and SAMOC. The SVD is performed on the trained period (1993 to present) for which Expendable Bathythermographs and satellite altimetry observations are available. The joint modes obtained are used in the reconstruction of a monthly SAMOC time series from 1870 to present. The reconstructed index is highly correlated to the observational based SAMOC time series during the trained period and provides a long historical estimate. It is shown that the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) is the leading mode of SAMOC-SST covariability, explaining ~85% with the Atlantic Niño accounting for less than 10%. The reconstruction shows that SAMOC has recently shifted to an anomalous positive period, consistent with a recent positive shift of the IPO.

Global Carbon Data Management and Synthesis Project
Period of Activity: 01 October 2018 – 30 September 2019
Principal Investigators: Brendan Carter, NOAA Pacific Environmental Laboratory & Rik Wannikhof, NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Metoerological Laboratory
Project Summary
1.1. Project justification
Over the past two and a half centuries, the surface oceans have absorbed approximately 30% of humankind’s carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions (Prentice et al. 2001; Canadell et al. 2007; Le Quéré et al. 2009) . Ocean CO 2 uptake has reduced the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and slowed the rate of climate change (IPCC 2019; Sabine and Feely 2007; Feely et al. 2012; Gruber et al. 2019) . The current consensus measurements-based estimate of ocean uptake for 2008-2017 is 2.5 ± 0.5 Pg C yr -1 . 1 The estimate gets updated annually, in part with data and synthesis products from this project. When anthropogenic CO 2 is absorbed by seawater chemical reactions occur that reduce both seawater pH and the concentration of carbonate ions in a process known as “ocean acidification.” The pH of surface ocean waters has decreased by about 0.11 units since the beginning of the industrial revolution (Jiang et al. 2019) , and it is continuing to decrease at a rate of 0.0021 ± 0.0007 year −1 (e.g., Woosley et al. 2016) . Questions remain regarding the details, mechanisms, feedbacks, and consequences of ocean carbon uptake and acidification. Continued monitoring and scientific analysis of the ocean carbon cycle is critical for understanding how this important sink for anthropogenic CO 2 is functioning; how ocean carbon storage might change in the future; and how we can best anticipate, mitigate, and
adapt to potential future changes.
Carbon data synthesis is essential for monitoring ocean carbon uptake due to the global scale of uptake, the complexities of interpreting ocean carbon measurements, and the variety of ways carbon content is measured. Measurement programs from 15+ participating nations contribute measurements of many different aspects of seawater chemistry made with a wide variety of sensors and analytical techniques. Data from these diverse measurements are ultimately used with Earth system model assessments, data-assimilating models, forecasts, property budgets, and measurement inversions designed to address scientific questions related to ocean carbon uptake. A common element of all of these analyses is that they benefit from consistently-formatted and quality-controlled ocean carbon measurements with well-constrained uncertainties. Data synthesis is therefore necessary to translate the wealth of information provided by the measurement community into the quality controlled and assessed data products needed for advancing and communicating global carbon cycle science.
1.2. Project overview
The global ocean carbon Data Management and Synthesis Project (DMSP) exists to provide resources and leadership to efficiently address the ocean carbon data needs of the global scientific community, decision makers, and the public. DMSP scientists are also charged with conducting original ocean carbon cycle research. DMSP investigator tasks include:
measuring ocean carbon;
quality controlling ocean carbon data;
providing ocean carbon data in common, convenient, and accessible formats;
assessing ocean carbon data uncertainty;
interpreting ocean carbon data;
and communicating relevant findings to decision makers and the broader public.
The DMSP brings together ocean carbon measurement and information technology experts from the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). These scientists work closely with data managers at the National Center of Environmental Information (NCEI) and the CLIVAR and Carbon Hydrographic Data Office (CCHDO) to address the oceanographic community’s carbon data access and synthesis needs. The DMSP prioritizes workup and analysis of data obtained through efforts funded by the Ocean Observations and Monitoring Division (OOMD, soon Global Ocean Monitoring and Observation, or GOMO) including the repeat hydrography program, the partial
pressure of CO 2 (pCO 2 ) on ships of opportunity effort (SOOP-CO 2 ), and the pCO 2 on moorings effort. Appreciable efforts are also made to incorporate data from non-COD investigators worldwide. Investigators in DMSP are leaders in design, automation, and quality control of the
annual Surface Ocean Carbon Atlas release (SOCAT) and are major contributors to an independent surface water pCO 2 data collation performed by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory that serves as a critical check and for climatological analyses. Data synthesis efforts are aimed at addressing the core questions as described in the US Carbon Cycle Science Plan (Michalak et al. 2009) :
Where has the anthropogenic carbon (i.e. carbon produced by human activities) entered the ocean?
… and where is it stored?
How are these patterns of uptake and storage changing?
How is ocean carbon uptake impacting marine inorganic carbon chemistry?
The DMSP aims to quantify global anthropogenic CO 2 storage to within 2 Pg C decade -1 and regional sea-air CO 2 fluxes to within 0.2 Pg C year -1 . The DMSP pursues this goal directly through original research, and indirectly by developing educational programs, methods, datasets, and data products to aid research efforts by the broader scientific community. DMSP scientists engage in additional outreach and educational programs tailored to the broader public with the goal of informing the public of significant advances in understanding the role of the ocean in climate.
Transparency and accessibility are critical for DMSP research, data, and data products. Data and data products are made available online at CCHDO 2 , NCEI 3 , and the AOML/PMEL 4 institutional websites. New data are not currently provided in real-time due to the need for post-measurement
calibration and data quality control and synthesis, but an automated near real-time data reduction and QC program for surface water CO 2 measurements is being pursued. Instead, preliminary data and finalized data are provided following timetables specified by guidelines of the measurement programs. Once submitted, data and data products are continually updated and archived, and efforts have been made to verify these websites are providing up-to-date versions. This has led to significant improvements in delivery time and quality control of the OOMD sponsored underway and repeat hydrography data. Data use statistics are kept by the US Repeat-Hydro and Global Ocean Ship-Based Hydrographic Investigations Programs (GO-SHIP) 5 Acknowledgement of OOMD/NOAA and NSF funding is made on the front page of the CCHDO website.

California Current System Could Experience Weak El Niño-Related Impacts, Study Says

California Current System Could Experience Weak El Niño-Related Impacts, Study Says
A CPO-funded study published in
Geophysical Research Letters
concluded that although tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures hit a record high during the 2015-2016 El Niño, impacts to marine ecosystems and primary production are likely to be weak in the California Current System. These impacts are expected to be weak because Kelvin waves and weakened upwelling-favorable winds did not accompany the anomalously warm temperatures in 2015-2016.
The study’s findings highlight El Niño’s potential to influence different regions in a number of ways. While the 2015-2016 El Niño is not expected to trigger widespread changes to the north Pacific’s ecosystems, El Niño events of similar magnitudes (1982-1983 and 1997-1998) resulted in significant changes to ecosystems in the North Pacific. Ocean physics, chemistry, and biology can be influenced due to El Niño’s effects on ocean wave propagation, as well as tropical convection and advection.
Analysis for equatorial Pacific temperature anomalies used the
Niño 3.4 Index
, in situ measurements and satellite observations of surface chlorophyll, and wind data. Researchers also used data from underwater gliders and ocean reanalysis.
Abstract:
The 2015–2016 El Niño is by some measures one of the strongest on record, comparable to the 1982–1983 and 1997–1998 events that triggered widespread ecosystem change in the northeast Pacific. Here we describe impacts of the 2015–2016 El Niño on the California Current System (CCS) and place them in historical context using a regional ocean model and underwater glider observations. Impacts on the physical state of the CCS are weaker than expected based on tropical sea surface temperature anomalies; temperature and density fields reflect persistence of multiyear anomalies more than El Niño. While we anticipate El Niño-related impacts on spring/summer 2016 productivity to be similarly weak, their combination with preexisting anomalous conditions likely means continued low phytoplankton biomass. This study highlights the need for regional metrics of El Niño’s effects and demonstrates the potential to assess these effects before the upwelling season, when altered ecosystem functioning is most apparent.

NOAA announces $4.5M in funding for new observing technologies for ENSO research and predictions
NOAA is investing $4.5 million over the next four years in four projects testing technology to enhance Tropical Pacific Ocean observing, which improves understanding of the
El Niño-Southern Oscillation
(ENSO), its prediction, and how it affects Earth’s weather.
Understanding ENSO’s effects has been a major focus of multiple agencies and countries across the globe for decades. In 1979, a
Tropical Pacific atmosphere and ocean observing buoy network
was initiated to improve understanding of ENSO by improving ocean observations in the tropical Pacific Ocean. In the three decades since the initial launch, scientists have utilized a few new technologies, such as Argo floats, to unravel the complexities of ENSO. These new platforms offer additional capabilities that could help scientists better predict and project the effects of ENSO.
The newly-funded projects are contributing towards the international TPOS 2020 Project to develop the future  tropical Pacific ocean observing system. “Testing of these new observing technologies, sensors, and platforms is critical for advancing our knowledge of this important ocean region and its impacts on US weather, extreme events, water resources, and marine ecosystems” says David Legler, a division leader for NOAA’s global ocean observing program. “We’re exploring new ways of taking measurements of a bigger range of ocean conditions that we never dreamt possible when we first began observing ENSO decades ago” he added noting the importance of thorough testing and evaluation that must be carried out before these technologies are used regularly.
The four new projects are:
Enhanced ocean boundary layer observations on the TAO moorings
William Kessler (PMEL), Karen Grissom (NBDC), and Meghan Cronin (PMEL)
The near-surface is the “blind spot” for current profiles, whether measured from ships or subsurface moorings. This project from NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and NOAA’s National Data Buoy Center (NBDC) will mount Acoustic Doppler Current Profiles on existing Tropical Atmospheric Ocean (TAO) moorings. These new sensors will measure ocean currents in the upper 40 meters of the water column, where direct wind forcing of ocean currents occur.
Profiling Rainfall, Wind Speed, and Biogeochemical Sensors for Use in the Tropical Pacific Observing System
Stephen Riser (University of Washington) and Jie Yang (UW Applied Physics Laboratory)
Using standard Argo floats, researchers from the University of Washington, will outfit each float with sensors to measure near-surface temperature and salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and chlorophyll in the upper 2000 meters of the water column. Wind speed and rainfall will also be measured by an acoustic sensor on the float.
Autonomous Surface Vessels as Low-Cost TPOS Platforms for Observing the Planetary Boundary Layer and Surface Biogeochemistry
Meghan Cronin and Christian Meinig (PMEL), Dongxiao Zhang, Adrienne Sutton, (Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and the Oceans (JISAO) at the University of Washington.)
A new autonomous sailing vessel developed by Saildrone, Inc., will be outfitted with a full suite of sensors to estimate wind stress and the air-sea exchange of heat and carbon dioxide in the Tropical Pacific. Launched and retrieved from the California coast, the saildrone will be completely controlled on land by PMEL and Saildrone Inc. This project will demonstrate the Saildrone’s ability to make low-cost climate-quality meteorological, oceanic and biogeochemical observations along the equator.
Development and Testing of Direct (Eddy Covariance) Turbulent Flux Measurements for NDBC TAO Buoys
J. Thomas Farrar (WHOI), James Edson (University of Connecticut), Meghan Cronin (PMEL), and Chris Fairall (ESRL)
In this project, a  WHOI-developed low-power direct covariance flux system (DCFS) will be the technology base for future development on selected TAO buoys. The flux system will be will derived from the most recent system developed at WHOI and the University of Connecticut for the Ocean Observatories Initiative. Using the direct covariance method, these flux packages remove platform motion from the measured wind velocity to allow a direct estimate of fluxes.
This investment is a contribution of NOAA to the advancement of the
Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS 2020) Project
rethinking the ocean/marine observing system in the tropical Pacific. This observing system is critical to NOAA’s mission to improve weather and climate prediction, modeling, and forecasting. The benefit of this improved observation system will have a global impact.
The Climate Observations Division in a part of NOAA’s Climate Program Office. The Climate Program Office–situated within the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research–helps improve understanding of climate variability and change in order to enhance society’s ability to plan and respond. NOAA provides science, data, and information that Americans want and need to understand how climate conditions are changing. Without NOAA’s long-term climate observing, monitoring, research, and modeling capabilities we couldn’t quantify where and how climate conditions have changed, nor could we predict where and how they’re likely to change.

Satellites and Models Show Cloud Response to Climate Change, Says New Study
A study partly funded by the CPO’s
Climate Observation Division
found evidence of changes in cloud concentration and height due to climate change between 1983 and 2009. Recently published in
Nature Climate Change,
a paper of the study says these large-scale cloud changes result in a warming effect for the climate.
Researchers used satellite records and climate models that included historical external radiative forcing to compare cloud changes over 27 years. Both observations and models show a widespread agreement: decreasing cloud concentrations in the mid-latitudes, expansion of subtropical dry zones, and increasing height of the highest cloud tops at all latitudes.
According to the study’s paper, reasons for these cloud responses seem to be increasing greenhouse gases and recovery from volcanic radiative cooling. The paper also states that declining cloud amounts in mid-latitudes and expansion of subtropical dry zones result in an albedo decrease. Additionally, as cloud tops rise, their greenhouse effect strengthens. These changes and their warming effects are expected to continue as greenhouse gases concentrations continue to increase.
Satellite records for this study were obtained from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, the Extended Pathfinder Atmospheres dataset, the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite, the Clouds and Earth’s Radiant Energy System, and the Multi-Sensor Advanced Climatology of Liquid Water Path dataset. The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 provided the simulations used in this study.
The role of clouds for the climate is substantial, since clouds influence Earth’s energy budget by reflecting solar radiation and by preventing thermal radiation from Earth to escape into space.

David Legler leads service project for Charlottesville school
Dr David Legler, of CPO’s Climate Observation Division, recently led a service project for North Branch School during a break
for his 4-week Leadership Development course
“Leadership for a Democratic Socie
ty” at the Federal Executive Institute in Charlottesville, VA.
During his time off during his leadership development course, Legler organized and lead a voluntary weekend service project for North Branch School near Charlottesville. David enlisted the help of other executives in the course representing 8 different government agencies and 4 states plus the District of Columbia, to make improvements to the school playground, paint rooms, clean the art and science classrooms, and create a new fish pond.
The Leadership for a Democratic Society course focused on enhancing his knowledge of the Constitutional underpinning of Federal Government work and the common culture of senior Federal executives; building his skills in personal leadership; gain insights into organizational theory, the policy framework in which Government leadership occurs, and the broad global trends and events that shape government agendas.

NOAA and International Partners Participate in Third Indian Ocean Capacity Building Workshop
The Third WMO/IOC Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP)
Western Indian Ocean Capacity Building Workshop
will be hosted by the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) on April 16-20, 2012, in Mombasa, Kenya. The working goal of the workshop is to demonstrate the socio-economic value and benefits of new Indian Ocean Observing systems, such as the
Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction
(RAMA) for reducing disaster risk such as from droughts and floods, managing fisheries, and improving predictive capacity for the Western Indian Ocean States. NOAA contributors will include representatives from the Climate Program Office, National Data Buoy Center, National Weather Service Office of International Affairs and Climate Prediction Center.
In addition to technical training on observations and modeling, highlights of the workshop will include the keynote address by the Republic of Kenya’s Minister of Environment and Mineral Resources who will discuss actions to mitigate piracy in the region, which was one of the goals included in the African Ministerial Conference on Meteorology’s Nairobi Declaration. A long-term scientific work program and an associated capacity building and training road map will also be adopted at the workshop.
In exchange for contributions to this year’s training workshop, NOAA is receiving twenty-two gratis ship days on the Research Vessel Algoa for the deployment and servicing of NOAA’s RAMA moorings. This is one of the terms per the Memorandum of Agreement NOAA signed with the United Nations Development Program’s Agulhas-Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystem Project one year earlier at the
Second Western Indian Ocean Capacity Building Workshop
. Later in the year, similar ‘resource-sharing’ partnership meetings will be held in Jeju, South Korea, in July and Chennai, India, in November.
