1 Improving Global Observations for Climate Change Monitoring using Global Surface Temperature (& beyond) Huai-Min Zhang & NOAAGlobalTemp Team NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) [formerly: National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), and National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)] Today s Topic: Observing Systems for Climate Monitoring & Assessment Datasets & Products under NCEI Surface Oceanography unit 1 NOAA s National Climatic Data Center AMS 2009 Annual Meeting 16 th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction Phoenix, AZ January 2009
2 NOAA/NCEI Monthly Climate Monitoring & Assessment World mostly warmer but w/ cold regions Gaps in high latitudes 2 NOAA s National Climatic Data Center AMS 2009 Annual Meeting 16 th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction Phoenix, AZ January 2009
3 Foundational In-Situ Observations 3 NOAA s National Climatic Data Center AMS 2009 Annual Meeting 16 th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction Phoenix, AZ January 2009
4 Integrated In-Situ + Satellite Observations: Basic Design Principles 4 NOAA s National Climatic Data Center AMS 2009 Annual Meeting 16 th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction Phoenix, AZ January 2009
5 Climate SST Observing System Design Objective: Using OSSEs for a conscious Cost- Benefit design, implementation and operational monitoring of a global ocean observing system consisting of satellite and in-situ observations for required climate assessment accuracy, using sea surface temperature (SST) *OSSE = Observing System Simulation Experiment 5 NOAA s National Climatic Data Center AMS 2009 Annual Meeting 16 th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction Phoenix, AZ January 2009
6 I. Combined Satellite and in-situ Objective Analysis Errors Are Small Enough: Objective analysis errors on monthly and 5º scales, using AVHRR and insitu data. Even smaller with addition of TMI, AMSR-E etc. 6 NOAA s National Climatic Data Center AMS 2009 Annual Meeting 16 th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction Phoenix, AZ January 2009
7 II. An adequate in-situ network for sufficient satellite bias reduction Example of Satellite Biases - Mt. Pinatubo Eruption: SST analysis fields using an optimum interpolation (Reynolds SST) and Poisson Bias Correction Upper Panel: Without the bias correction Middle Panel: With the bias correction. Lower Panel: Removed biases using the bias correction 7 NOAA s National Climatic Data Center AMS 2009 Annual Meeting 16 th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction Phoenix, AZ January 2009
8 Typical Random Errors in Ship, Buoy and Satellite Observations Ship and Buoy: In the NOAA OI SST (Reynolds et al. 2002), assumed to be: ~ 0.5ºC for buoys ~ 1.3ºC for ships Satellite AVHRR SST: McClain et al. (1985); In the NOAA OI SST, assumed to be: ~ 0.5ºC for daytime retrievals ~ 0.3ºC for nighttime retrievals 8 NOAA s National Climatic Data Center AMS 2009 Annual Meeting 16 th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction Phoenix, AZ January 2009
9 Satellite Errors Represented by EOFs EOF Analysis: B( x, t) N 156 ai i 1 ( t)* f ( x) for monthly AVHRR SST from i=1: Pinatubo i=2: Seasonal clouds & Saharan desert dust i=6: Southern Hemisphere; may be underestimated due to few in-situ data i f i (x) a i (t) i= NOAA s National Climatic Data Center AMS 2009 Annual Meeting 16 th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction Phoenix, AZ January 2009
10 How Dense a In-Situ Network is Needed for Satellite Bias Correction: Needed in-situ data density depends on both the magnitude and spatial patterns/scales of the biases. E.g., if the biases are the same over the global ocean, only 1 accurate in-situ data would be needed to correct the constant bias. Generally, the more complicated the bias patterns, the more in-situ data would be needed. Monte Carlo simulations are used for future biases to find the relationship between in-situ data density and satellite bias reduction. Optimal in-situ data density Current ship and buoy observations are evaluated and maps of needed buoys for a required SST accuracy are computed as a nowcast. Ship and buoy observations are combined according to their random errors
11 Simulation Experiments SSTs are simulated by truths + typical random noises: The truths are chosen as the climatological monthly means Simulated buoys are placed at regular grids Experiments on various grid size to find the corresponding satellite bias reduction Simulated buoy SST: Tb(x,t) = Tg(x,t) + A * e(t) Tg = ground truth (monthly climatology) A = amplitude of buoy random error = 0.5 C e(t) is a Gaussian random time series with a zero mean and standard deviation of 1 Simulated satellite data are placed at the actual monthly satellite observations Simulate monthly satellite observations (e.g., no retrievals with clouds), from January 1990 to December 2002 (t=1 to 156) Simulated satellite SST: Tsi(x,t) = Tg(x,t) + Bi(x)* a(t) i=1 to 6 for six simulated bias regimes, represented by the chosen six EOFs: Bi(x)=EOFi(x) with a global max of 2 C Tg = ground truth (monthly climatology) a(t) is a Gaussian random time series with a zero mean and a standard deviation of 1 Random noises have little effects because of large number of monthly satellite observations
12 2 C The max PSBE vs. buoy density (BD) on a 10 grid. Dash line is a model fit. PSBE reduces rapidly initially and then levels off with increasing buoy density. Optimal BD range is 2-5. A BD of 2 (vertical thin dash line) or more is required to reduce a 2 C bias to below 0.5 C.
13 Nowcast Computations EBD n b ns 7 Before Implementation: No much data in the S. Ocean After Implementation: Improved Obs in the S. Ocean
