Sensitivity analysis of the climate of a chaotic ocean circulation model
- Abstract:
-
We explore sensitivity analyses of ocean circulation models by comparing the adjoint and direct-perturbation methods. We study the sensitivity of time-averaged inter-gyre vorticity transport to the imposed wind-stress curl in an eddy-permitting reduced-gravity ocean of a double gyre. Two regimes exist: a non-chaotic regime for low wind-stress curl, and a chaotic regime for stronger wind forcing. Direct-perturbation methods are found to converge, with increasing integration time, to a stable '...
