Synchronous Assimilation of Tidal Current-Related Data Obtained Using Coastal Acoustic Tomography and High-Frequency Radar in the Xiangshan Bay, China
2022
Overview
To accurately reconstruct large-area three-dimensional current fields in coastal regions, simultaneous observations with ten coastal acoustic tomography (CAT) stations and two high-frequency radar (HFR) stations were performed in the Xiangshan Bay (XSB) on 4–5 December 2020. The section-averaged velocity that was observed by CAT and the radial velocity that was observed by HFR were, for the first time, synchronously assimilated into a three-dimensional barotropic ocean model. Compared with acoustic Doppler current profile data, the velocities of the model assimilating both CAT and HFR data had the highest accuracy according to root mean square differences (RMSDs), ranging from 0.05 to 0.08 m/s for all the vertical layers. For the models individually assimilating CAT and HFR, the values in the vertical layers ranged from 0.07 to 0.12 m/s and 0.08 to 0.13 m/s, respectively. A harmonic analysis of the model grid data showed that the spatial mean amplitudes of the M2, M4, and residual currents were 0.66, 0.14, and 0.09 m/s, respectively. Furthermore, the standing wave characteristics of the M2 current and M4 associated-oscillation in the inner XSB, mouth of the Xiangshan fjord, were better captured by the model assimilating both CAT and HFR. Our study demonstrates the advances in three-dimensional tidal current analysis using a model that assimilates both CAT and HFR data, especially in regions with complex coastal geography.
