Code to estimate vertical velocity from SWOT and glider observations in the Southern Ocean

Code to estimate vertical velocity from SWOT and glider observations in the Southern Ocean

Abstract

This Zenodo entry contains the Matlab scripts needed to reproduce the vertical velocity analysis and to produce the figures found in Thompson et al. (Comm. Earth Env., 2026), "The three-dimensional structure of fine-scale, vertical velocities in the Southern Ocean inferred from SWOT and glider observations." The Matlab scripts load the glider data, which can be accessed at doi.10.5281/zenodo.17252347, generate the SSH-potential density relationship, and calcuate the Q-vector terms that are needed to invert for the vertical velocity. The inversion for vertical velocity is carried out using the xinvert Python package, which is accessibel at: https://github.com/miniufo/xinvert. Our research group is in the process of developing a Python-based code for the QG-omega vertical velocity inversion. The files with the inferred vertical velocities are quite large (~500MB), so only one example data file is uploaded here, "FOCUS_data_trunc_swath_155_9.nc"; please contact Andrew Thompson for the full data files. Any additional questions can be directed to Andrew Thompson (andrewt@caltech.edu).
