• Adjoint Modeling and Observing System Design in the Subpolar North Atlantic 

      Loose, Nora (Doctoral thesis, 2019-08-30)
      The near-surface ocean currents of the subpolar North Atlantic transport large amounts of heat from the subtropics to higher latitudes, affecting Arctic sea ice extent, the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, and the climate ...

      This paper summarizes recent efforts on Observing System Evaluation (OS-Eval) by the Ocean Data Assimilation and Prediction (ODAP) communities such as GODAE OceanView and CLIVAR-GSOP. It provides some examples of existing ...
    • Quantifying Dynamical Proxy Potential Through Shared Adjustment Physics in the North Atlantic 

      Loose, Nora; Heimbach, Patrick; Pillar, H.R.; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Oceanic quantities of interest (QoIs), for example, ocean heat content or transports, are often inaccessible to direct observation, due to the high cost of instrument deployment and logistical challenges. Therefore, ...
