RREX 2015. S-ADCP data processing report

Abstract

La dorsale de Reykjanes est une structure topographique majeure de l'océan Atlantique Nord. Elle est située au cœur de la gyre subpolaire le long des chemins suivis par les branches hautes et basses de la cellule méridienne de retournement (MOC, Meridional Overturning Cell). Cette dernière transporte de la chaleur vers le nord de l’Atlantique Nord et contribue à modérer le climat européen. L'objectif du projet RREX est de réaliser une étude de processus afin de mieux comprendre le rôle de la dorsale de Reykjanes sur la dynamique et la transformation des masses d'eau dans le gyre subpolaire et, in fine, sur la MOC. La campagne RREX2015 réalisée du 5 juin au 10 juillet 2015 est la première des 2 campagnes prévues du projet RREX. Au cours de cette campagne, nous avons réalisé 133 stations CTDO2-LADCP le long de 4 radiales. Des données de courant ont été continuellement acquises par deux ADCPs: un S-ADCP opérant à 38 kHz appelé OS38 et un S-ADCP opérant à 150 kHz appelé OS150 (RD Instrument). Ce rapport détaille le traitement des données des ces deux S-ADCPs à l'aide du logiciel Cascade. Le traitement consistait à valider, corriger, interpoler, filtrer et sélectionner les données S-ADCP finales. Considérant la vitesse verticale moyennée sur toute la campagne, nous avons estimé une correction d'attitude de 0,3 ° pour l’OS38 et de 0,1 ° pour l’OS150. Nous avons également estimé les corrections de désalignement (α) et d'amplitude (a) en comparant la vitesse du navire, déterminée par GPS, à la vitesse du navire estimée à partir des données S-ADCP acquises en eaux peu profondes et en minimisant le biais entre l’OS38 et l’OS150. Pour l'OS38, nous avons trouvé α = 0,05 ° et a = 1,0067 cm s-1. Pour l'OS150, nous avons trouvé α = -0,04 ° et a = 1,0027 cm s-1. Nous avons également estimé l'erreur instrumentale totale sur la vitesse océanique absolue calculée à partir des erreurs sur la vitesse de l’écoulement relative à la vitesse du bateau estimée par les données ADCP, et sur la vitesse du navire par rapport au fond mesurée par GPS. Pour l’OS38 en mode Narrow Band, l'erreur instrumentale totale sur la vitesse absolue pendant la campagne est de 4,39 cm s-1. Pour l’OS150 en mode Broad Band, l'erreur instrumentale totale pendant la campagne est de 2,40 cm s-1.

The Reykjanes Ridge is a major topographic feature of the North-Atlantic Ocean. It lies in a central position along the main paths followed by the upper and lower limbs of the Meridional Overturning Cell (MOC), which contributes at moderating the European climate by transporting heat northward. The objective of the RREX project was to conduct a process study in order to better understand the role of the Reykjanes Ridge on the dynamics and water mass transformation in the subpolar gyre and ultimately on the MOC. The RREX2015 cruise, carried out from 5 June to 10 July 2015 on the R/V Thalassa, was the first of the two cruises carried by the RREX project. During this cruise, we realized 133 surface-bottom CTDO2-LADCP stations along 4 sections. Current measurements were continuously acquired by two Shipboard ADCPs (RD Instrument) operating at 38 kHz (OS38) and at 150 kHz (OS150). This report details the processing of those two S-ADCPs datasets using the software Cascade. The processing consisted in validating, correcting, filling gaps in, filtering, and selecting final S-ADCP data. Considering the mean vertical velocity averaged over the cruise, we estimated an attitude corrections of 0.3° for OS38 and 0.1° for OS150. We also estimated the misalignment (α) and amplitude (a) corrections in comparing the ship velocity, determined by GPS, to the ship velocity estimated from the S-ADCP bottom ping in shallow water. Minimizing the bias between OS38 and OS150 further refined the misalignement correction. For the OS38, we found α = 0.05° and a = 1.0067 cm s−1. For the OS150, we found α = -0.04° and a = 1.0027 cm s−1. We also estimated the total instrumental error on the absolute ocean velocity calculated from errors on the flow velocity relative to the ship velocity estimated by the ADCP data, and errors on the ship velocity relative to the bottom measured by GPS. For OS38 in Narrow Band mode, the total instrumental error on absolute ocean velocity during the cruise is 4.39 cm s−1. For OS150 in Broad Band mode, the total instrumental error during the cruise is 2.40 cm s-1.
