Advancing Multi-Decadal Global Ocean and Climate Datasets and their Uncertainties
Session ID#: 254177
Session Description:
Multi-decadal historical global ocean and climate datasets are essential for a wide range of applications, including: climate monitoring; evaluation of Earth system models; forecast system initialization and development; detection and attribution studies; global and regional budget assessments; and constraints on climate projections. While there is a broad range of essential ocean and climate variables, many of the data processing steps share common features, such as: (i) data quality control; (ii) identification and correction of inter-platform/sensor biases; (iii) the need for spatiotemporal infilling/interpolation; (iv) development of robust uncertainty estimates. Moreover, there is a need for diversity in global datasets to provide an ensemble of estimates using different approaches and help quantify the structural uncertainty associated with derived metrics and products.
This session invites abstracts that discuss any element of multi-decadal historical global ocean and climate dataset construction, including novel methods and intercomparison efforts that explore structural uncertainties and/or ensemble approaches. We particularly welcome submissions that relate to one or more of the Global Climate Observing System essential climate variables (e.g., surface temperature/salinity/currents/stress, sea ice, sea level, subsurface temperature/salinity/currents) including both in situ and remote sensing observations.
This session invites abstracts that discuss any element of multi-decadal historical global ocean and climate dataset construction, including new methods and intercomparison efforts that explore structural uncertainties and/or ensemble approaches. We also invite abstracts that focus on the use of global ocean and climate datasets in research applications, including any of the topic areas listed above. We particularly welcome submissions that relate to one or more of the Global Climate Observing System essential climate variables.
