Ocean Bottom Pressure Data - 2

Fig. 1a
Fig. 1b
I. Background

This is a follow-up to some of the investigation I am doing concerning Ocean Bottom Pressure (OBP) records contained in various public access sites (e.g. PSMSL & NDBC).

The gist of it is that I have to find ways to use this data differently than some of the other publicly available data.

The basic reason for that is the short amount of time the deep water instruments survive before repair and/or replacement (Ocean Bottom Pressure Data).

One reason bottom pressure records are so important is illustrated by science that until recently has been lost, or worse, ignored.

Sea level change (SLC) is composed of both sea level fall (SLF) and sea level rise (SLR).

The first scientific paper to enlighten us to this reality came to us over a century ago, that is, one hundred and thirty years ago to be exact (see (Woodward 1888).

The only modern scientists to honor this reality, as far as I know, said this about that seminal work:
To our knowledge, Woodward (1888) was the first to demonstrate that the rapid melting of an ice sheet would lead to a geographically variable sea level
Fig. 2
change. Woodward (1888) assumed a rigid, non-rotating Earth, and therefore self-gravitation of the surface load was the only contributor to the predicted departure from a geographically uniform (i.e. eustatic) sea level rise. This departure was large and counter-intuitive. Specifically, sea level was predicted to fall within ∼2000 km of a melting ice sheet, and to rise with progressively higher amplitude at greater distances. The physics governing this redistribution is straightforward.
(The World According To Measurements - 5). That reality is now gaining recognition (whether scientists know it or not) in our scientific endeavors (NASA Busts The Ghost).

This reality is now replacing the mythological "bathtub model" (The Bathtub Model Doesn't Hold Water, 2, 3, 4).

II. The Current Approach

We now know and know quite well that the re-distribution of ocean water when ice sheets melt causes sea level to vary from location to location for various reasons.

Fig. 3
It so happens that the highest sea level that results is far out at sea, away from tide gauge stations along the coasts.

The satellite records are not as exact, at the centimeter and millimeter levels, as the tide gauge station records are.

So, bottom pressure records that are used to detect tsunami events and warn endangered populations about them now have another promising mission (helping researchers watch less immediate but certain-to-take-place dangers).

Fig. 4
That mission is to detect and record sea level changes at deep water locations based upon the expectations shown in Fig. 1b.

Today's graphs are based on the tide gauge, satellite, and bottom pressure records at some of the ocean basins shown in Fig. 1a.

Those tide gauge, satellite, and bottom pressure locations and their data are listed at the bottom of this post (organized by ocean basin) in case you care to consider them.

III. Current Status

I use an array of twelve depth levels in which to average the OBP in situ measurements taken by OBP instruments.

Fig. 5
That way I can detect changes in pressure that indicate an instrument failure.

Currently a stream of OBP data can abruptly change from say 1000 to 3000 from one day to the next.

This indicates that an equipment failure and repair and/or replacement has taken place.
Fig. 6

By separating the measurement records into twelve depth levels I isolate those episodes into manageable lists, then when finalizing the averaging, I use the level with the most data (the level with the most measurements).

Next, in the software development process, I will fuse the separate levels together, if they are close enough in their recorded values.

For example, currently if an in situ measurement stream jumps from 999.5 to 1000.8 those values will be in two separate measurement lists, even though they are close enough to be used together.

Fusing the lists together when appropriate will result in a more robust dataset which will aid our understanding of sea level changes in remote ocean areas.

IV. Why OBP Records Matter

Fig. 7

The great ice sheets are being studied with more intensity in recent years because, for one thing, the rate of sea level change is accelerating.

New research discoveries show that things are moving faster than expected.

Fig. 8
OBP records can give us a very quick heads up (like with tsunami warnings) that an area's sea level has changed.

That in turn can tell us which ice sheet is causing it by its melting.

The deep waters will rise differently at one location compared to another deep water location.

Fig. 9
We can't determine the changes at maximum accuracy without good, long lasting OBP instruments that can determine sea level change at certain locations.

The rate of OBP change can tell us which ice sheet's melt rate is changing, like the coastal tide gauge stations do for coastal areas (SLC Fingerprints R Us - 2).

V. Some Example Events

Before closing, let me mention some real world events that are examples of what we need to keep an eye on.

One type of ice sheet behavior recently discovered shows the magnitude of what is going on:
"Supraglacial lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet are expanding inland, but the impact on ice flow is equivocal because interior surface conditions may preclude the transfer of surface water to the bed. Here we use a well-constrained 3D model to demonstrate that supraglacial lakes in Greenland drain when tensile-stress perturbations propagate fractures in areas where fractures are normally absent or closed. These melt-induced perturbations escalate when lakes as far as 80 km apart form expansive networks and drain in rapid succession. The result is a tensile shock that establishes new surface-to-bed hydraulic pathways in areas where crevasses transiently open. We show evidence for open crevasses 135 km inland from the ice margin, which is much farther inland than previously considered possible. We hypothesise that inland expansion of lakes will deliver water and heat to isolated regions of the ice sheet’s interior where the impact on ice flow is potentially large."
(Greenland Ice Melt). That "potentially large" event can lead to other potentially large events:
"A shutdown of ocean convection in the subpolar North Atlantic, triggered by enhanced melting over Greenland, is regarded as a potential transition point into a fundamentally different climate regime. Noting that a key uncertainty for future convection resides in the relative importance of melting in summer and atmospheric forcing in winter, we investigate the extent to which summer conditions constrain convec-tion with a comprehensive dataset, including hydrographic records that are over a decade in length from the convection regions. We find that warm and fresh summers, characterized by increased sea surface temperatures, freshwater concen-trations and melting, are accompanied by reduced heat and buoyancy losses in winter, which entail a longer persistence of the freshwater near the surface and contribute to delaying convection. By shortening the time span for the convective freshwater export, the identified seasonal dynamics intro-duce a potentially critical threshold that is crossed when sub-stantial amounts of freshwater from one summer are carried over into the next and accumulate. Warm and fresh summers in the Irminger Sea are followed by particularly short convec-tion periods. We estimate that in the winter 2010–2011, after the warmest and freshest Irminger Sea summer on our record, ~40% of the surface freshwater was retained."
(Ocean Circulation Impeded by melt, cf. Extreme Sea Level). There are many reasons for watching what the OBP records are telling us.

VI. Conclusion

That is why I will continue to watch them, and then share what I learn with Dredd Blog readers.
