Abstract
Available data for ocean temperature, salinity, and current at
the present time do not have sufficient resolution to describe
the variability in Atlantic Meridional Overturning
Circulation (AMOC). To fill the gap, we are working on
near real-time 3D synoptic temperature, salinity, and
velocity (STSV) datasets from remotely sensed Argo
profiling and trajectory data together with the Global
Temperature-Salinity Profile Program (GTSPP), Navy’s
MOODS, and the OSCAR data using the optimal spectral
decomposition (OSD) method. With establishment of the
STSV dataset, the AMOC variability can be effectively
detected and predicted.
