1 Wet tropospheric correction comparison for Jason-2 mission between
GPD V2.0 (FCUP) and GPD V1.1 corrections The GPD V2.0 correction is referred to as GPD_V2.0 in the following study The GPD V1.1 correction is referred to as GPD_V1.1 Lionel Zawadzki, Michael Ablain (CLS)

2 Wet tropospheric correction comparison for Jason-2 mission
Introduction: We will observe and analyse the impact of the new GPD wet troposphere correction V2.0 by comparison to its previous version V1.1 for Jason-2 mission and climate applications The main differences between the two corrections are described in the corresponding technical note In order to determine the impact of the new wet troposphere correction in terms of climate applications and temporal scales, we will try in this study to indicate for each impact detected if it’s a positive (+) or a negative (-) impact : No impact detected Low impact Significant impact

3 Global Mean Sea Level Jason-2 Climate Applications Temporal Scales Round Robin Data Package (RRDP) GPD_V2.0 Versus GPD_V1.1 Global Mean Sea Level Long-term evolution (trend) Inter annual signals (> 1 year) Annual and semi-annual Signals Regional Mean Sea Level Mesoscale Signals < 2 months Significant impact detected on Global Mean Sea Level trend 0.23 mm/yr on the Global MSL is significant. Temporal evolution of SLA mean calculated globally.

4 Global Mean Sea Level No impact detected on Inter annual Signals
Jason-2 Climate Applications Temporal Scales Round Robin Data Package (RRDP) GPD_V2.0 Versus GPD_V1.1 Global Mean Sea Level Long-term evolution (trend) Inter annual signals (> 1 year) Annual and semi-annual Signals Regional Mean Sea Level Mesoscale Signals < 2 months No impact detected on Inter annual Signals The figure below shows the mean difference between the two corrections calculated globally by cycle.

5 Global Mean Sea Level Jason-2 Climate Applications Temporal Scales Round Robin Data Package (RRDP) GPD_V2.0 Versus GPD_V1.1 Global Mean Sea Level Long-term evolution (trend) Inter annual signals (> 1 year) Annual and semi-annual Signals Regional Mean Sea Level Mesoscale Signals < 2 months No impact detected on Annual and Semi-annual Signals

6 Mesoscale Jason-2 Climate Applications Temporal Scales Round Robin Data Package (RRDP) GPD_V2.0 Versus GPD_V1.1 Global Mean Sea Level Long-term evolution (trend) Inter annual signals (> 1 year) Annual and semi-annual Signals Regional Mean Sea Level Mesoscale Signals < 2 months No impact detected on a short temporal scale (signals < 2 months): Crossovers Variance Differences are generally positive but inferior to 0.1 cm² The map of SSH crossovers Variance Differences shows that the low degradations are mainly at mid-latitudes, below 50°.

7 Mesoscale Map of Variance differences of Sea Surface Height at crossovers between the GPD_V2.0 and GPD_V1.1 corrections (over all the period): Low degradations between ±20 and ±50° latitudes (+0.2 cm²) Temporal evolution of Variance differences of Sea Surface Height at crossovers between two GPD corrections : No significant impact over all the period

10 Regional Mean Sea Level
Jason-2 Climate Applications Temporal Scales Round Robin Data Package (RRDP) GPD_V2.0 Versus GPD_V1.1 Global Mean Sea Level Long-term evolution (trend) Inter annual signals (> 1 year) Annual and semi-annual Signals Regional Mean Sea Level Mesoscale Signals < 2 months Low impact detected on Annual and Semi-Annual Signals amplitude differences reach -2mm for annual signal in coastal areas (see figures on next slide), Semi-annual signals differences are below ±1mm. It’s not possible to determine which correction is the best one for theses scales

11 Regional Mean Sea Level
Map of Sea Level Anomaly differences amplitude for annual signal Map of Sea Level Anomaly differences amplitude for semi-annual signal SLA with GPD_V2.0 amplitude – SLA with GPD_V1.1 amplitude : annual signal SLA with GPD_V2.0 amplitude – SLA with GPD_V1.1 amplitude : semi-annual signal

12 Regional Mean Sea Level
Map of Sea Level Anomaly differences phase for annual signal. Map of Sea Level Anomaly differences phase for semi-annual signal. To be noted a phase value equal to 30° corresponds to a period of one month SLA with GPD_V2.0 phase – SLA with GPD_V1.1 phase: annual signal SLA with GPD_V2.0 phase – SLA with GPD_V1.1 phase : semi-annual signal

13 Regional statistics between corrections
Map of Mean differences between GPD_V2.0 and GPD_V1.1 (extension period) On this map we observe clearly differences in the tropical band. Considering a global bias, the impact is about 2mm in this area Map of Standard deviation differences between GPD_V2.0 and GPD_V1.1 (extension period) On this map we observe differences up to 3mm near coasts, but generally stays below 2mm

14 Wet tropospheric correction comparison for Jason-2 mission
To conclude: GPD_V2.0 correction extension shows performances equivalent to its previous version. Performances at crossovers are equivalent and the analysis of MSL shows no degradation nor improvement over this period. There is however a strong impact on the long term evolution at global scale Jason-2 Climate Applications Temporal Scales Round Robin Data Package (RRDP) GPD_V2.0 Versus GPD_V1.1 Global Mean Sea Level Long-term evolution (trend) Inter annual signals (> 1 year) Annual and semi-annual Signals Regional Mean Sea Level Mesoscale Signals < 2 months
