The Expanded Ocean Thermal-structure Analysis System
The Expanded Ocean Thermal-Structure (EOTS) analysis system, an application of the general-purpose Fields by Information Blending (FIB) methodology, is an advanced, comprehensive and flexible system for four-dimensional analysis of thermal structure from the ocean surface to the bottom. Using surface (ships, buoys, satellites) and sounding observations and information carried and accrued along the time axis from previous analyses and climatologies, analyses may be performed for any region and for any grid resolution in space and time. Significant variabilities in the vertical profile are represented by a set of thermal-structure parameters--absolute values, gradients and curvatures. Special provision is made for fine-resolution of thermal structure in the vicinity of the Primary Layer Depth and for restricting flow of information across land barriers. EOTS may be used for real-time synoptic analyses and, using available data bases, for production of historical sequences and climatologies. A wide variety of optional outputs includes horizontal and vertical sections of temperature and sound speed.
