Abstract:
Abstract Four methods based on the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) are tested to assimilate coarse-scale (25 km) snow water equivalent (SWE) observations (typical of passive microwave satellite retrievals) into finescale (1 km) land model simulations. Synthetic coarse-scale observations are assimilated directly using an observation operator for mapping between the coarse and fine scales or, alternatively, after disaggregation (regridding) to the finescale model resolution prior to data assimilation. In either case, observations are assimilated either simultaneously or independently for each location. Results indicate that assimilating disaggregated finescale observations independently (method 1D-F1) is less efficient than assimilating a collection of neighboring disaggregated observations (method 3D-Fm). Direct assimilation of coarse-scale observations is superior to a priori disaggregation. Independent assimilation of individual coarse-scale observations (method 3D-C1) can bring the overall mean analyzed field close to the truth, but does not necessarily improve estimates of the finescale structure. There is a clear benefit to simultaneously assimilating multiple coarse-scale observations (method 3D-Cm) even as the entire domain is observed, indicating that underlying spatial error correlations can be exploited to improve SWE estimates. Method 3D-Cm avoids artificial transitions at the coarse observation pixel boundaries and can reduce the RMSE by 60% when compared to the open loop in this study.

Abstract:
Abstract The Canadian Mesoscale Compressible Community (MC2) model provided daily forecasts across the Alps at 3-km resolution during the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP) field phase of 1999. Among the results of this endeavor, some have had an immediate impact on MC2 itself as it increasingly became evident that the model was spuriously too sensitive to finescale orographic forcing. The model solves the Euler equations of motion using a semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian scheme in an oblique terrain-following coordinate. To improve model behavior, typical approaches were tried at first. These included a generalization of the coordinate transformation to make the terrain influence decay much more quickly with height as well as the introduction of nonisothermal basic states to diminish the amplitude of numerical truncation errors. The concept of piecewise-constant finite elements was invoked to reduce coding arbitrariness. But it was later pointed out that the problem was very specific and due to a numerical inconsistency. The true height of model grid points is fixed and known in height-based coordinates. Nevertheless, it was discovered that for this semi-Lagrangian scheme to be consistent, the departure height is an unknown that must be obtained in the same manner as the other unknowns.

Abstract:
Abstract Landscape-driven microclimates in mountainous terrain pose significant obstacles to predicting the response of organisms to atmospheric warming, but few if any studies have documented the extent of such finescale variation over large regions. This paper demonstrates that ground-level temperature regimes in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Tennessee and North Carolina) vary considerably over fine spatial scales and are only partially linked to synoptic weather patterns and environmental lapse rates. A 120-sensor network deployed across two watersheds in 2005–06 exhibited finescale (&amp;lt;1000-m extent) temperature differences of over 2°C for daily minima and over 4°C for daily maxima. Landscape controls over minimum temperatures were associated with finescale patterns of soil moisture content, and maximum temperatures were associated with finescale insolation differences caused by topographic exposure and vegetation cover. By linking the sensor array data to 10 regional weather stations and topographic variables describing site radiation load and moisture content, multilevel spatial models of 30-m resolution were constructed to map daily temperatures across the 2090-km2 park, validated with an independent 50-sensor network. Maps reveal that different landscape positions do not maintain relative differences in temperature regimes across seasons. Near-stream locations are warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, and sites of low elevation more closely track synoptic weather patterns than do wetter high-elevation sites. This study suggests a strong interplay between near-ground heat and water balances and indicates that the influence of past and future shifts in regional temperatures on the park’s biota may be buffered by soil moisture surfeits from high regional rainfall.

Abstract:
AbstractFinescale methods are currently being applied to estimate the mean turbulent dissipation rate and diffusivity on regional and global scales. This study evaluates finescale estimates derived from isopycnal strain by comparing them with average microstructure profiles from six diverse environments including the equator, above ridges, near seamounts, and in strong currents. The finescale strain estimates are derived from at least 10 nearby Argo profiles (generally &lt;60 km distant) with no temporal restrictions, including measurements separated by seasons or decades. The absence of temporal limits is reasonable in these cases, since the authors find the dissipation rate is steady over seasonal time scales at the latitudes being considered (0°–30° and 40°–50°). In contrast, a seasonal cycle of a factor of 2–5 in the upper 1000 m is found under storm tracks (30°–40°) in both hemispheres. Agreement between the mean dissipation rate calculated using Argo profiles and mean from microstructure profiles is within a factor of 2–3 for 96% of the comparisons. This is both congruous with the physical scaling underlying the finescale parameterization and indicates that the method is effective for estimating the regional mean dissipation rates in the open ocean.

Abstract:
Abstract We provide a first-principles analysis of the energy fluxes in the oceanic internal wave field. The resulting formula is remarkably similar to the renowned phenomenological formula for the turbulent dissipation rate in the ocean, which is known as the finescale parameterization. The prediction is based on the wave turbulence theory of internal gravity waves and on a new methodology devised for the computation of the associated energy fluxes. In the standard spectral representation of the wave energy density, in the two-dimensional vertical wavenumber–frequency (m–ω) domain, the energy fluxes associated with the steady state are found to be directed downscale in both coordinates, closely matching the finescale parameterization formula in functional form and in magnitude. These energy transfers are composed of a “local” and a “scale-separated” contributions; while the former is quantified numerically, the latter is dominated by the induced diffusion process and is amenable to analytical treatment. Contrary to previous results indicating an inverse energy cascade from high frequency to low, at odds with observations, our analysis of all nonzero coefficients of the diffusion tensor predicts a direct energy cascade. Moreover, by the same analysis fundamental spectra that had been deemed “no-flux” solutions are reinstated to the status of “constant-downscale-flux” solutions. This is consequential for an understanding of energy fluxes, sources, and sinks that fits in the observational paradigm of the finescale parameterization, solving at once two long-standing paradoxes that had earned the name of “oceanic ultraviolet catastrophe.” Significance Statement The global circulation models cannot resolve the scales of the oceanic internal waves. The finescale parameterization of turbulent dissipation, a formula grounded in observations, is the standard tool by which the energy transfers due to internal waves are incorporated in the global models. Here, we provide an interpretation of this parameterization formula building on the first-principles statistical theory describing energy transfers between waves at different scales. Our result is in agreement with the finescale parameterization and points out a large contribution to the energy fluxes due to a type of wave interactions (local) usually disregarded. Moreover, the theory on which the traditional understanding of the parameterization is mainly built, a “diffusion approximation,” is known to be partly in contradiction with observations. We put forward a solution to this problem, visualized by means of “streamlines” that improve the intuition of the direction of the energy cascade.

Abstract:
Regions containing gradients of vertical flow are often associated with sharp changes in hydrographic and biochemical water properties in coastal marine ecosystems. Often these are sites of dense plankton aggregations of critical ecological importance. In this study, a recirculating flume apparatus with a laminar, planar free jet (the Bickley jet) was used to create finescale gradients of fluid velocity (shear) in both upwelling and downwelling configurations for zooplankton behavioral assays. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to fully resolve the velocity fields allowing us to fine-tune experimental parameters to match fluid mechanical conditions commonly measured in the field. Zooplankton behavioral assays with two tropical calanoid copepods, Acartia negligens and Clausocalanus furcatus, an estuarine mysid, Neomysis americana, and the larvae of an estuarine mud crab, Panopeus herbstii, were conducted in control (stagnant), upwelling, and downwelling flow configurations. Statistical analyses (ANOVA) of individual zooplankton trajectories revealed the potential for individual behavioral responses to persistent finescale vertical shear layers to produce population scale aggregations, which is proposed here as a mechanism of patchiness in coastal marine ecosystems. Results from behavioral analyses reveal species-specific threshold shear strain rates that trigger individual behavioral responses. Furthermore, results show statistically significant changes in behavior (relative swimming speed, turn frequency, heading) for all species tested in response to a coherent shear structure in the form of finescale upwelling and downwelling jets. The results show that changes in individual behavior can increase Proportional Residence Time (PRT = percent time spent in the jet structure). On a population scale, the increase in PRT can lead to dense aggregations around persistent flow features, which is consistent with numerous field studies. These dense, patchy aggregations of zooplankton have profound trickle-up ecological consequences in coastal marine ecosystems.

A thermistor chain measures temperature from the surface to 250 m with 2 m vertical resolution and 1.85 m horizontal resolution. Thermistor data is converted to high resolution sound velocity profiles for input to an implicit finite difference parabolic equation (IFD-PE) model. The control case is a surface duct with a horizontally averaged sound velocity profile. The IFD-PE model is run with monofrequency sources from 500 Hz to 10 kHz. The acoustic fluctuations and average acoustic pressure are computed each 20 km to a range of 100 km. Acoustic propagation through the temperature varying OML is contrasted with acoustic propagation through the temperature invariant OML. Finescale temperature randomly alters the average acoustic pressure by up to a factor of two and the acoustic fluctuations by up to a factor of five.

Abstract:
Ephemeral patches of hydrodynamic and chemical sensory cues at fine scales are fundamentally important to the life success of plankton populations and thus the overall health and vitality of nearshore marine ecosystems. We employed various tools from experimental fluid mechanics to create ecologically-relevant hydrodynamic and chemical conditions in a recirculating flume system for zooplankton behavioral assays. The goal was to quantify and correlate changes in zooplankton behavior with coincident sensory cues. A laminar, planar free jet (the Bickley jet) was used to create finescale, free shear layers with targeted hydrodynamic characteristics as well as finescale, sharp-edged layers of both beneficial and toxic ("red tide") phytoplankton species. Planar particle image velocimetry (PIV) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) were used to quantify the flow and concentration fields, respectively. Behavioral assays with a variety of crustacean zooplankton species including Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), estuarine crab larvae (Panopeus herbstii), and calanoid copepods (Temora longicornis and Acartia tonsa), each unique in its ecology, morphology, and life history, show clear and statistically-significant behavioral responses to relevant hydrodynamic and chemical cues. Estuarine crab larvae optimize short term and long term behavioral needs (foraging and habitat selection) by sensing and exploiting the information contained in multi-directional free shear flows. In the presence of thin layers of toxic algal exudates (Karenia brevis), T. longicornis and A. tonsa exhibit explicit avoidance behaviors through significant increases in swimming speed and overall behavioral variability resulting in a conspicuous hydrodynamic signature in a risk/benefit behavioral response. Finally, Antarctic krill exploit the hydrodynamic cues contained in a free shear layer to modify swimming behaviors and ultimately graze in a thin phytoplankton layer (Tetraselmis spp.). Each species is able to sense and exploit the information contained in coherent hydrodynamic and chemical sensory cues to change swimming kinematics and alter macroscale trajectory characteristics. Quantifying changes in zooplankton behavior in response to ecologically-relevant sensory cues is a crucial step towards modeling (e.g. via biophysically-coupled individual-based ecosystem models) and managing sustainable marine fisheries.

Abstract:
La circulation océanique à fine échelle est caractérisée par des structures allant de 1 à 100 km sur l’échelle horizontale, et de courte durée de vie (jours/semaines). La taille et le caractère éphémère de ces structures rendent leur étude par les mesures in situ particulièrement difficile, expliquant qu’elles aient été principalement étudiées grâce aux modèles numériques. Ces derniers ont montré que la dynamique à fine échelle joue un rôle clé sur la dynamique et la distribution des organismes phytoplanctoniques. Cependant, il est indispensable d’enrichir les résultats issus de modèles numériques par ceux obtenus grâce aux mesures in situ. Il est donc nécessaire de développer des méthodologies capables d’échantillonner à haute fréquence spatiale et temporelle ces structures, afin de suivre leur rapide évolution. C’est dans cette optique qu’a été menée la campagne PROTEVSMED-SWOT 2018, au sud des Baléares. A partir des données satellites et des mesures physiques in situ, un front a été caractérisé. De plus, différents groupes phytoplanctoniques ont été identifiés grâce aux données de cytométrie en flux. Un modèle de croissance a été appliqué à ces données de cytométrie, afin de calculer le taux de croissance et de division des groupes phytoplanctoniques, dans les deux masses d’eau séparées par le front. Le contraste de la dynamique cellulaire dans ces deux masses d’eau, contribue à expliquer la distribution des abondances de phytoplancton. L’originalité de cette thèse vient du fait que l’impact des fronts sur le phytoplancton a été retrouvé dans une zone frontale moins énergétique que celles décrites dans les études précédentes, mais plus représentative de l’océan global<br>The finescale ocean circulation is characterized by structures in order of 1 to 100 km on the horizontal scale, with a short lifetime (days/weeks). The size and the ephemeral nature of these structures make their study by in situ measurements particularly difficult, explaining why they have been principally studied with numerical simulations. These latter have shown that finescale structures play a key role in the dynamic and the distribution of phytoplankton organisms. However, perform in situ measurements is essential to better understand these finescale mechanisms and to compare those with the results obtained thanks to numerical models. That is why, it is a necessity to develop methodologies able to sample these structures at high spatial and temporal frequency, in order to follow their rapid evolution. That was one of the objectives of the PROTEVSMED-SWOT 2018 cruise, led in the south of the Balearic Islands. Using satellite data and physical measurements, a front has been characterized. Furthermore, several phytoplankton groups were identified thanks to flow cytometry data. Then, a size-structured population model was applied to these flow cytometry data in order to compute the growth and division rates of the phytoplankton groups located in the two water masses separated by the front. The cellular dynamics showed a clear contrast in these two water masses, explaining the particular distribution of phytoplankton abundances. The originality of this thesis is due to the fact that the impact of frontal structures on phytoplankton has been found in a frontal area less energetic than those described in previous studies, but more representative of the global ocean

Abstract:
In recent years we have observed an incredible increase in location-specific information provided voluntarily by individuals and disseminated via the internet. The emergence of this Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) as Goodchild first described it in 2007 has attracted considerable interest within the GIScience research community. As a special type of user generated content, it offers great potential to produce up-to-date and near real-time information related to any place on Earth, even though overall accuracy remains an issue of debate. Location sharing services (LSS) such as ‘foursquare’, ‘Gowalla’, and ‘Facebook Places’ collect hundreds of millions of user-driven footprints or ‘check-ins’. Those footprints provide a unique opportunity to study social and temporal characteristics of how people use these services and model patterns of human mobility. However, the amount and frequency of VGI is not evenly distributed and recent research considers it directly related to socioeconomic characteristics of its contributors (i.e.,geographic and economic constraints, individual social status) . Particularly in the context of population dynamics studies, VGI may provide a data source that is more accessible and current as well as less expensive and timeconsuming than traditional activity survey data. VGI generated on micro-blogging services and location-based social networks (LBSN) bear the greatest resemblance to the activity diary that time geographers are familiar with . Noulas et al. present a large-scale study of user behavior on the LBSN platform ‘foursquare’, analyzing user check-in dynamics and demonstrating how that reveals meaningful spatio-temporal patterns and offers the opportunity to study both user mobility and characteristics of urban spaces. In this study we compare functionally categorized location-specific foursquare check-in information picturing one working week in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area to a daytime working population surface produced in previous work. The objective is to analyze potential correlation patterns and explore options for modeling finescale spatio-temporal characteristics of urban land use based on VGI.
