The general solutions, following Cane and Sarachik [1981], consist of sums of the eastward propagating equatorial Kelvin mode and a number of westward propagating Rossby modes. To explore the response of a basin to small scale forcing the zonal wind stress is idealized as a delta function. The response is dominated by the sum of directly forced Rossby modes. It is demonstrated that ray theory can be used to duplicate the point source results. In both cases regions of intense response foci are found at a distance CT/4 westward of and at the equatorial image point of the forcing , where T is the period of the forcing and C is the Kelvin wave speed. Regions that experience a very weak response called shadow zones are also found. The point source solution is used as a Green's function to obtain the response of a basin to unit forcings over an area. We find that features predicted by point forcing and ray theory appear in our "patch" forced problem. As the area we force over grows the higher Rossby modes are damped and the important response becomes confined closer to the equator. We use the patch solution and superposition to examine the companion problem of the effect of forcing across a basin on a single observation point. The important influence on the observation point comes from four sources. 1. Strong influence from local effects. 2. Moderate influence from Rossby waves forced within 10* of the equator to the east of the observation point. 3. Intense influence from inverse focus points CT/4 east of the observation point 4. Moderate influence from Kelvin waves forced along the equator to the west of the forcing. J~CYI~~ ~_L^--C-I.L~_I ._.li.l.ii~U The patch influence functions for the first three baroclinic modes are used to examine the importance of wind measurement error in the modeling of sea surface height in the equatorial Pacific and Indian Oceans. The wind errors over the basins are represented by a difference field of two surface wind analyses. FNOC (Fleet Naval Oceangraphic Center) and NMC (National Meteorlogical Center) winds on a 2.5"x2.5" grid are used in the Pacific. ECM (European Meteorlogical ° Center) data and a wind analysis from Wiley and Hinton on a 2°x3 grid are used in the Indian Ocean. In the Pacific during the January 1982-June 1983 El Nino event, small sea surface errors are found in the eastern Pacific and within one degree of the equator. Serious errors are found north of the equator in the center of the basin near Fanning (9.1cm mean and 48.7cm variance deviation from zero sea surface error). North and south of the equator in the east the errors are also large; (near Rabaul 12.4cm mean + 101.4cm variance). In the Indian Ocean from December 1978 November 1979 large errors from the equator northward into the Arabian Sea are associated with the seasonal monsoon circulation.

INTRODUCTION The theoretical study of forced planetary scale waves in the tropics has attention received considerable periodic horizontal wind stress are recently.

Features from the simpler delta response will be useful in analyzing the more complicated patch forcing case. An analysis of the character of the response is an important first step in an attempt to understand how errors in the measurement of wind stress are transformed into errors in the equatorial height field. The is of height field model because in particular most cases interest the using a shallow water when simulates model the observed properties of the height field better than the observed properties of the currents. The paper is organized as follows: In chapter 2 the zonal wind streus is idealized as a delta function in both x and y. An analysis along with plots of the of the response of the U, V, and H fields fields in a 6000km wide basin is provided. Chapter 3 uses ray theory on Rossby waves and compares the solutions to the delta results. In chapter 4 the point source solution is used as a Green's function to solve for forcing over an area rather than at just a single point. The results of the previous chapters are used to analyze the effects of wind measurement error on sea surface height in the Pacific and Indian Oceans in chapters 5 and 6 respectively. The summarized in the seventh chapter and are important results followed containing notation and mathematical derivations. by are appendices POINT FORCING The problem of the response of a linear baroclinic equatorial ocean to a Cane by examined was constructed is solution Their (1981). stress wind zonal periodic the from and Sarachik forced periodic solution in the absence of boundaries plus a free wave solution added on to Kelvin and sums waves conditions. boundary the satisfy of The Rossby waves. long solutions These consist of boundary conditions are: at U=O fJ ay= means (2.1) Physically Kelvin boundary are reflected as a sum of boundary U=O boundary would Rossby waves. approximation (1977) have that would imply be reflected Since short shown our Rossby that the (2.2) X=O at that (2.1) X=Xe incident waves on the eastern long Rossby waves.

We wish to examine the effect of a small scale periodic disturbance on a model basin. To accomplish this the model is forced by a zonal wind stress idealized as a delta function of the form: (2.3) Jx(X'Y) = 6(X-X,)6(Y-Y,) The general form of the solution may be expressed as the sum of forced and free terms: = H V + p (2.4) V H H -LoJcL F/F The free and forced solutions independently satisfy equation (2.1). p is a constant chosen to satisfy boundary condition at X=Xe, X=Xe; (2.2). Since U=O equation (1.7) implies that the height is independent of y at hence p determines the amplitude of the height field at the eastern boundary.

Figures [2.1-2.3] illustrate the amplitude of the free U, V, and H fields. The general response of the three fields is contained within a sinusoidal envelope that is T/4 periodic. The outer edge of this envelope represents the paths of the highest mode Rossby waves.

To examine the structure of the forced solution alone we need to force in regions where p is small.

We observe a focus on the approximately equator 4000km east of forcing the point. The height field is characterized by large responses away from the equator at the peaks the curving U of and V V waveguides. exhibits a significant response along the entire waveguide with the exception of the equator along which the forced meridional velocity is zero. The position of the forced response pattern depends on the location of forcing the pattern entire point. We moves observe intact in with figures [2.5,2.8,2.9] forcing the point, that with the the westernmost portion of the pattern dissappearing as the forcing point is moved westward. We also observe that no important response appears east of the forcing point. This indicates response, of number the free modes wave or is for that relative to the forced inconsequential when considering a large forcings away from the resonance points. The temporal variations in the solutions are easily analyzed. For the real V field figures [2.10-2.12] show for the various times a qualitatively similar picture.

The forced solutions are image symetric about the equator. at a point response (X%,Y ) and observe a response W(X,Y) W(X,-Y) to forcing at a point (X, ,-Y,). So if we force we would observe a The fields still follow waveguides which demonstrate the dominance of the forced Rossby sums. The focus appears at the equatorial image point roughly 4000km east of the forcing point. The waveguides become contorted sinusodial patterns around a line that runs from the forcing point to the focus. The inviscid results are sensitive to the number of Rossby modes. Figures number [2.16-2.20] depict the delta forced solutions for a modest (N=7) of modes. Since the turning latitudes are lower for the lower modes, we observe that the responses are trapped closer to the equator. If we force poleward of the turning latitudes, the response is very weak. The contours used to plot figure stronger than those in figure [2.20]. (2.15] are ninety times In general equatorward of the 19 turning latitudes the response is also weaker but, the familiar pattern of curving waveguides still appears. The waveguides are not as compact as in similar. The response near the case height the of field the for turning higher modes example still latitudes of the but are qualitatively experiences highest modes. a strong In the U field we see the region 4000km east of the forcing point where a large sum of Rossby modes will create a focus. To this point singularities in the have only in the free wave forced Although we our solutions are understanding a of considered inviscid results. The and the dominance of the higher modes result how of our friction neglect works on of the friction. model is incomplete, we know it is present and should be accounted for. Adding a Rayleigh friction will keep our free U bounded and will damp the higher modes. We may accomplish this by replacing w with: w = w - iR As we stated the inviscid allowing higher modes focus.

Whitham trajectories the (1961) has the examining shown that that a these trajectories called 'rays' satisfy the equations: (3.1) DY Dt 31 DX Dt ak (3.2) (3.3) Dk Dt Here k is the ax Dl = -80a Dt 3Y Dw Dt at (3.5) the zonal wavenumber, 1 frequency. The rays are (3.4) is the meridional wavenumber and because they are important energy paths for a packet of waves. The physically theory only tells use where packets of wave will travel and doesn't distingush between free and forced waves. We will use the theory then to describe the 'action' of the packet of Rossby waves emminating from a forcing point. We begin with the system of equations which (1.1-1.3) can be combined into a single equation for V. -Vttt +Vxx t +Vyy t Equation (3.6) _y 2 Vt has a degenerate (3.6) =0 +Vx solution V = 0 which is the Kelvin wave. Ray theory won't provide us with any new information on it since it is non-dispersive and we know exactly how enerqy from east to west along the equator. it behaves: it carries Our asymptotic analysis has shown that the Kelvin terms are small compared to a sum of Rossby modes for large N so here we consider the behavior Rossby terms. By only considering variations in X are smaller than low of the dominant frequencies and those in Y, assuming the (3.6) can be simplified to: Vyyt -y 2 Vt +Vx =0 (3.7) we now use WKB theory and assume V has the form V=Aei (x y It (3.8) where the total phase c is the amplitude A is defined by = 1, cx =k, , and t = -w. If assumed to vary slowly compared to the phase we are left to highest order with the dispersion relation: W We = o(X,Y,l,k) substitute the dispersion = 2 -k/(1 relation + 2 ) (3.9) (3.9) into the ray equations (3.1-3.5) to obtain the set of equations; DY = 21w 2 Dt (3.11) DX Dt = Dk = 0 Dl = -21w k Dt Dw (3.10) k (3.12) 2 (3.13) k = 0 (3.14) Dt The solutions are easily found to be: W= k WO = k0 (3.15) (3.16) 23 X = wt/k + X 0 (3.17) Y = [-k/w] sin[2w 2 t/k + cO] (3.18) 1 = [-k/w] cos[2w2t/k + ao] (3.19) Each ray path then has a characteristic (3.17) that shows a disturbance may (3.15) and (3.16). w and k by only initial position since only negative k is move westward from its allowed by the dispersion relation. We want to examine rays from a point disturbance. That is to say given an initial position paths (X,Y) in space. (X 0 ,Y0 ) k, given a At t=0, to plot the ray ) we may determine the and w we want (X,Y 0 constant ao. 0a = sin-l[Yo(-k/w) ] (3.20) wt/k + X 0 (3.21) then X and Y may be determined by: X Y = = (-k/w) sin[2tw 2 /k + sin-l(yO(-k/w) t appears only as a parameter )] (3.22) and can be eliminated. Equatorial wave theory suggests the notation: -k/w = 2m + 1 (3.23) 24 so: Y = + sin- + [2m+1]ksin[2w(X-Xo) (3.24) (Y/(2m+1))] (3.24) may expressed in the simple form: (3.25) Y = + [2m+1-YO]zsin[2w(X-XO)] + Yocos[2w(X-XO)] The area over which a ray acts is called a 'ray tube'. Ray tubes are in effect energy channels. Hence regions in which few rays penetrate called 'shadow zones' will be regions of a weak relative response to a forcing. Regions in which rays are packed together called then are expected to experience a strong response and 'caustics' if several adjacent rays come together and cross at a focus we could expect the wave amplitude to become immense. The foci may be found from (3.25) by finding points on the ray paths that are multivalued in M. Those are points on which: sin(2w(X-XO)) 2w(X-XO) = Nr = 0 (3.26) 25 The focus then is located at: (X - XO) = AX = NT/4 (3.27) or in dimensional units at: AX = CTN/4 (3.28) = YO(-1) (3.29) in terms of Y the focus is at: Y Figures initial [3.1,3.4] points are (5000,0) plots and of ray paths (5000,1000). that The emanate plots use from the scaling as the previous figures but the number of modes used is the same 30. We see that the rays are packed along the outer edge of the sine packet and congregate as they near the foci. We expect then to have our largest response at the focus and in the areas that are shaded in the figures. Ray theory tells us that forcing occur in two regions, one which energy streams north-west important adjacent to responses to the forcing and south-west of a point point the source in and a second region adjacent to the equatorial image point CT/4 km west of ~~~_~_li 26 the that implies theory also is energy in which source concentrated will energy at be absent a focus in point. the shadow Ray zone along the line connecting the focus and the source. These ray paths do not for account the behavior of the Kelvin wave term which will be important if the forcing is near the eauator. Ray theory may also be used to find an energy density in (X,Y) space for a packet of Rossby waves. Along a given ray the magnitude of the group velocity times the energy density is a constant. So the energy density may be expressed as: (kO)/ <E> Where IC) the group velocity and CD is (3.30) E(kg) is a constant for that ray. may be found from the dispersion relation (3.9). C, = i + j = -(1 1221 +Y2) 222 1 + 2kl(1 2 +Y22- j (3.31) then: <E> = e(k 0 ) [(12+y 2 ) - 2 + 4k 2 12 (1 2 +y 2 )- - (3.32) which may be simplified with (3.18-3.19) and (3.23) to become: <E>= (2m+1) [1+4w 2 (2m+1-Y 2 )]- (3.33) 27 Instead of using the mode number m , we could find expression for the energy density in terms of the initial position, space coordinates, frequency, and the initial energy. From (3.25) without quantization we find: Y + ((-k/w)-YO) sin2wAX = + Yocos2wAX (3.34) and see immediately that. -k/w = [Y-YOcos2wAX]2[sin2AX]- 2 (3.35) + The energy density defined only along a ray path then is given as: <E> If draw (Y S,.Jti we had an explicit a continuous expression energy using the discrete modes.

At the turning latitudes we see a lot of energy. This is time caused by the fact that the waves take a long to turn. Near the foci the actual amount of energy per ray is small because the waves move through these regions quickly. The total amount of enerqy here is expected to be large though because the ray tubes come together and the area over which the energy acts becomes _ 1_1_ --I~LIIIDLCII~IC_~--~II_~--- vanishingly small. In short the two factors that govern energy density are the area over which the ray tube acts and the intensity of the energy along the tube. Both factors are significant for our problem. Cane and Sarachik (1981) showed that ray theory is inadequate if the Kelvin wave or reflected Rossby waves are important. total [(U2 energy V2 + H2 + )/2] from modal The actual theory should resemble the ray theory results in our case since both the Kelvin and free terms Figures the are small [3.2, results compared to the sum of 3.5] are the total energy plots. is clear.

The point forced solutions (2.5-2.6) may be used as a Green's function and integrated over a forcing region to obtain the response of the basin to a regional forcing. We will examined the response of the basin to a square patch of a unit zonal periodic wind stress.

We will use the results of the previous chapters to determine the response at a single point to lonq period waves allow us to gauge forced the throughout a basin. This analysis importance of errors in will the measurement of surface winds in the modeling of sea surface height in the equatorial Pacific. The forcing over the real ocean is basin wide. The response of the by a field of wind then is governed stresses. The model we developed is linear. Linearity allows us to represent the height or current at a single location as that which ocean at a single station would result from a sum of individual forcings. The delta case assumes an impulse forcing is representitive of the forcing that occurs within a region. The patch forcing assumes that the stress is uniform over a region. We will divide a basin into a discrete number of regions and use either the delta or patch assumption to examine the total effect of basin wide forcing at a station. The patch and delta solutions may be used to calculate a response (X,Y). The response function tells function for an observation point in the forced influence waves us how much will have basin the on observation point. We find the response function by first dividing the basin into a grid of forcing points. For the delta case each forcing point represents the forcing over the area between adjacent points. In the uniform of region rectangular that stress halfway extends grid each at to find ,Y,).

To solve the equations we could have taken our transform in space instead of time, but for the problem under consideration a frequency of analysis is errors wind a more insightful and straightforward approach. The time dependence of the problem is naturally periodic in the sense that We would seasonally cyclic. periodic winds the that hence spatially; not our are errors contain the measurement expect the wind errors analysis is done in the be to as frequency domain. In determining the response function we assumed a unit forcing over a region. It is necessary then to weight the response function by the observed forcing each at frequency to determine sea the surface height. By superposition the total sea surface error at a station will be a product stress summed of the over response function all forcing and frequencies, the error in the baroclinic zonal modes, and _i~~I-aU~ieriu~DI*O --- I- L~rxbnu forcing points.

We observe at all forcing frequencies Fanning is significantly affected by forcing immediately adjacent to the island and from Rossby of the equator to the east of the island. For waves forced within 10 forcing periods shorter than 18/4 months we see a maximum in the response function at the equatorial image point to and CT/4 east of Fanning. This maximum, called the inverse focus, corresponds to the place where Rossby waves that focus at Fanning originated. For forcing periods shorter than 18/8 months we see a second inverse focus at the same latitude CT/2 eastward of Fanning. This maximum corresponds to the region in which Rossby waves that have their second focus at Fanning originated.

The wind fields we used were the FNOC x2.5* grid Center) analysis on a 2.5" (Fleet Naval Oceanqraphic Center) (National Meteorlogical (120E-70W and 30N-30S) and the NMC surface wind over region same the on a 5"x5* grid. These analyses are monthly mean winds for 18 months from January 1982 - June 1983. The NMC data was linearly interpolated down to a 2.5°x2.5" grid to conform to the FNOC analysis. (in dynes) are shown in The monthly NMC surface zonal stress fields figures [5.23-5.31]. The negative sign indicates stress imparted on the ocean by an easterly wind. During the first six months of 1982 the Pacific was forced by a typical wind stress pattern. Strong easterlies between 5N-25N across the basin exert a strong negative zonal stress during the period. Near 15N 170W we see stress over 2 dynes in March. Near the equator the stresses are generally weak. South of the equator the easternly stress pattern is broken from the western boundary to approximately 170E. At the western oscillates from approximately 10S boundary moderate westerly stress to 10N during a typical yearly cycle. From July 1982 to April 1983 anomalous westerly winds are seen to extend far into the basin. These anomalous westerlies drove Kelvin waves across the basin that caused dramatic 30-40cm rises in sea surface height in the eastern Pacific during the El Nino event. The extent of the westerly stress was enormous. In September 1982 westerly mean monthly wind stress ranged from the western boundary to 120W. By April 1983 the forcing over the basin reverted back to a more normal condition. difference The representation the field of the wind of NMC and measurement difference field is not a true error FNOC zonal error over is stresses the basin. a The field.

Here the sea surface height is effected primarily by Kelvin waves. At the Galapagos the influence function for a 9 month period forcing shows that errors in the zonal stress near the equator from 130E to 70W will be important. The stress errors over the equator were generally small. The sea surface error at the Galapagos reaches a maximum of 8 jl__lU_~~ I~CI~I 48 cm in May of 1983.

The results suggest that it is likely that the problems they had modeling sea surface at Christmas and Fanning were caused by an inaccurate wind analysis to the east of the stations. It is obvious from the fact that the errors in this longitude belt decrease as we near the equator that the important source of error at Fanning and Christmas comes from Rossby waves the islands. forced to the east of One wind analysis we used resolved the winds poorly to the east of the islands and this error manifested itself as large sea surface errors off the equator near Fanning and Christmas.

Unlike the Pacific, the Indian Ocean is generally devoid of islands that serve as an observation network of sea surface heights. We have chosen 10 points near the equator scattered across the Indian basin to serve as our observation network. These stations are identified with a letter and their position is shown in figure [6.1]. The Indian Ocean is modeled from 20N to 20S and from 96E to 45E. Our forcing grid is a 20 latitude by 30 longitude grid. We have chosen our forcing grid to conform to available wind analyses. We use the same model and assumptions we used in the Pacific with the exception of a typical stratification value. This correspondingly changes several of the scaling parameters that appear in Table 6-1. The higher baroclinic modes are insignificant. The contribution mode appears to be the most important. of the second baroclinic TABLE MODE C (m/s) L (km) 6-1 T (days) A (0) n 1 2.80 356 1.47 3.9 1.104 2 1.73 280 1.87 5.5 1.726 3 1.11 224 2.34 2.5 0.286 4 0.80 187 2.75 2.1 0.168 represented by a difference errors will The wind stress field of two frequently The (5.3). wind fields again be used wind we used fields by equation parameterized used were a European Meteorlogical Center (ECM) analysis and a wind analysis from Wiley and Hinton.

Because we are month time series we will only examine a dc,12,6,4,3,12/5,and 2 month period forcing. The wind stress over land areas The (India, Africa, and Madagascar) was taken to be zero.

In June we see zonal stress of almost 3 dynes at 10N near the entrance of the Arabian Sea. In the eastern Indian Ocean north of the equator strong cyclonic activity is present in May. The Fourier transform of the stress errors are shown in figures[6.14-6.17]. The errors are over 0.5 dynes in the Arabian Sea at all forcing frequencies. The ECM stress is calculated from 5 day averages while the Wiley and Hinton data comes from monthly means that supress short time cyclonic activity. We see errors in the mouth of the Bay of Bengal because of this. South of the equator in the strong easterly wind belt the errors are also large. Near the equator the errors are generally small.

The fluctuations in sea surface height are large 54 in the Arabian Sea. In some places as much as a meter. At stations Z, B, and W, Rossby waves forced north and east of the stations in the errors are very important. of large regions The sea surface errors reflect the monsoon cycle from April to July at each of the stations. Our use of only zonal stress in this region also poses a problem since the seasonal errors are Ocean.

Rossby waves carry nonexistent large sea errors from surface error the plot east that in June distrubs a and July. The virtually smallest errors appear in the east where the winds are lighter. The errors are generally weaker near the equator and worse off the equator especially in the Arabian Sea. The than those seen in the Pacific. The errors Indian errors are larger are larger because the forcing over the basin is so much larger. In modeling the sea surface fluctuations in the Indian Ocean we have seen that wind errors can be serious. The wind analyses we used could be responsible for 13 cm mean errors in the Arabian Sea. r----I-~-Y-IV"-~~ IW - YY *-(-E-Ys~~~~n DISCUSSION We have explored the response of the linear shallow water equations in a unbounded meridionally basin to an oscillatory zonal wind stress. Solutions are found making use of the long wave assumption for a single low frequency w and include directly forced term. The free and both a free basin wave and a forced terms consist the of equatorial Kelvin wave and a sum of Rossby modes. The highest number of modes is a parameter we choose. The zonal wind stress is first idealized as a delta function in X and Y, to measure the response to very small scale forcings and to obtain a Green's function for more general types of forcing. Some ray theory results demonstrate that the essense of the delta solutions may be captured using simple asymptotic methods. The examining these solutions is useful insight gained in understanding the case in of a spatially uniform stress over a rectangular region. The point source solution is dominated by the sum of forced Rossby modes independent of forcing location. The free wave term is small enough that no important response east of the forcing is found. The important response is contained within a sinusoidal envelope whose )i- LI __U__XII~ _II_______Z-~-Ytiili~L 56 and outer edges represent inner the lowest and highest mode Rossby waves travel waves respectively. at originates envelope The the and point forcing westward in two branches toward the turning latitudes. At the turning latitudes the Rossby waves are forced to turn back toward the equator to conserve vorticity. All the modes in both branches come together at the equatorial image point of the forcing point. The envelope there is focus. The a single point called the of is a region focus intense response. Past the focus the envelope again diverges in two branches. the Between lowest in modes two the branches no Rossby waves penetrate. This region experiences a weak response and is called the shadow zone. The response of the U,V,and H fields within the envelope differ. The meridional velocity is dominated by the higher modes. The important response is found along the outer edges of the waveguide throughout three fields. The zonal modes. The response near is velocity response meridional the basin. The velocity is also the weakest of dominated the turning latitudes by the the higher is small. The height field is less dependent on the higher modes so the response is larger near the inner part of the envelope then in either of the current fields. The response of the height field is smallest near the equator and largest near the turning latitudes. Ray theory allows us to find the location of the focus relative to the location of the forcing. If the forcing is at a point (X,Y) then the first boundary, focus appears at C (X-CT/4,-Y): here is (X=O) is the western the Kelvin wave speed, and T is the period of the forcing. The shadow zone is shown to be centered about the line connecting the focus and forcing points. Ray theory was also useful in explaining the spatial energy density. We find (because many modes that influence energy is concentrated a small area) and at near the the focus turning latitudes (because the waves move so slowly here). While point forcing and ray theory provide simple solutions, they also posses some unattractive properties. The high mode response is very sensitive to the presence of a frictional mechanism. We added a Rayleigh friction term saw that it acted to localize the response near the source. The inviscid solution is sensitve to the number of Rossby modes and the viscid solution to the value of the Rayleigh damping term. The delta over an solution is arbitary function and used as a Green's rectangle to integration introduces a factor of derive the (2m+1)-1 patch integratred solution. The in the Rossby terms which damps the higher modes. This is equivalent, throught the quantization condition, to dividing the Rossby terms by Y 2 . The major response in the box solution is closer to the equator than it is in the delta case. Phase interference within the box has destroyed the higher mode response, and away from the forcing region the response is built principally from the lower modes. The box solution sensitivity to the number of modes included in the sums is less. The box size is a critical parameter that characterizes the type of response we expect to find. ILli _^llj~_~~XI~ ^E Il_ 58 Case 1: small scale forcing ; 25km > AX, 25km > AY: For forcings over areas this size or smaller the response is virtually identical to the predictions of ray theory or delta forcing. Case 2: large scale forcing : 40 < AX, 4* < AY: The foci no longer exist. The Kelvin and free wave terms are important. The important response independent of the forcing location is trapped near the equator. Beyond 100 north and south of the equator the response is insignificant. The reason is that parts of a patch that lie away from the equator respond only in terms of higher modes which are small. The only important response then occurs if parts of the box extends into the low latitudes. The response then is only felt in these low latitudes. Case 3: imtermediate forcing : 40 > AX > 25km, 4° > AY > 25km: The foci are observed but not as large as in the small scale forcing case. We also see traces of shadow zones. The response away from the equator decreases as the box grows. The size of the box used will be determined by the resolution of the available data. The resolution required by case 1 is difficult to find and since we are exploring a simple linear model it is doubtful the response of the real ocean is as simple as the point source solution. - ~II--LI-_III L_ rUI_ __ ~__1____1_1__111111_La~~-* 59 Case 3 with unrealistic. uniform Since forcing wind over stress a huge data at area 2.5* is also intervals somewhat is often available we conclude that the intermediate case is the most useful as well as the most practical to compare will observations. Linear dynamics allow us to examine the effect of basin wide forcing on a single point. The basin is assumed to be divided into a grid of boxes with uniform stress. A superposition of patch solutions yields the influence of response at baroclinic basin a single modes, wide forcing on is a sum over point and a stress We points. single point. all forcing find that The total frequencies, independent of station location four distinct regions in the basin strongly influence the height field at the observation point. Near the observation point any wind forcing will have a strong influence. A broad region to the east of the observation point within 10 influence on the station. This is the of the equator has a moderate region in which Rossby waves originated that pass through the observation point. CT/4 east of the observation point at the equatorial intense influence caused by the region where Rossby waves that image point to inverse focus is focus at the the forcing seen. This is observation the the point originated. Moderate influence is exerted on stations near the equator in the eastern part of the basin by Kelvin waves forced along the equator to the west. The Kelvin waves were more important than when we examined isolated forcings because each isolated patch near the equator excites Kelvin waves in the same location. In effect at the observation point we are seeing the evidence of a sum of Kelvin waves along the equator. ____l_~L_~_~~_~___I ~__lrr~ 60 We used the patch model to examine the problem of the effects of wind measurement error on predicted sea surface height. We took the Raleigh damping to have a spindown time of 5 years and used 20 Rossby modes in the sums. These parameters do not have an important effect on the results. As an estimate of the wind error we took a difference field of two common wind analyses. In the Pacific we used FNOC (Fleet Naval Oceanagraphic Center) and NMC (National Meteorological Center) monthly mean winds on a 2.5'x2.50 grid during the Jan82-Jun83 El Nino event. During the entire period insignificant errors are found in the eastern Pacific and within one degree equator. Moderate sea surface errors are present north of the equator in the western Pacific. In the central Pacific near Fanning and in the western Pacific near Rabaul large errors are present. The largest sea surface errors the stations. dynamics have The areas smaller are caused by poor wind analyses east of that errors are only because influenced the wind by Kelvin analyses over wave the equator are generally good. In the Indian Ocean we used ECM (European meteorological center) and WH (Wiley and Hinton) winds on a 3 x20 grid from Dec78-Nov79. Large errors are found from the equator northward into the Arabian Sea and along the equator in the central Indian Ocean. The monsoon circulation causes the large errors in the Arabian Sea. Tropical cyclones in the eastern Indian ocean are not resolved well in the ECM data. causes errors in the sea surface height on the equator This in the center of the basin. The errors in the winds south of the equator are large near 5S but decrease further south of the equator. 61 The important point to retain from the error differences that are present in frequently analyses is that the used wind analyses are significant enough to cause large spatially correlated differences in equatorial sea surface heights. These errors are large enough places to make the verification of numerical models impossible. in 62 REFERENCES Blandford, R. 1966. Mixed gravity-Rossby waves in the ocean.
