Description
Summary:The files contained here are the output/sensitivity files of four adjoint sensitivity experiments in ECCOv4r2 that are combined to create the sensitivity of large-scale stratification to surface heat flux. (-f/Delta z) * (-alpha * (ADJqnet_t1 - ADJqnet_t2) + beta * (ADJqnet_s1 - ADJqnet_s2)) (Equation 7 in paper, where C = net heat flux). The files contained here are the output/sensitivity files for 6 years at 14 day time steps. ADJqnet_t1: (d J_1(theta_u)/ d qnet), Sensitivity of potential temperature over the upper depths to net heat flux. ADJqnet_t2: (d J_2(theta_l)/ d qnet), Sensitivity of potential temperature over the lower depths to net heat flux. ADJqnet_s1: (d J_3(salt_u)/ d qnet), Sensitivity of salinity over the upper depths to net heat flux. ADJqnet_s2: (d J_4(salt_l)/ d qnet), Sensitivity of salinity over the lower depths to net heat flux. Paper Abstract: Subantarctic mode waters (SAMW) have low stratification and are formed through subduction from thick winter mixed layers in the Southern ...
