5 http://www.cmsaf.eu/ CM SAF Event Week 2012 5 Global Water Cycle The knowledge of the global water cycle is crucial for a successful understanding and modelling of the climate system An important component of the water cycle is the surface fresh water flux over global oceans and its components evaporation and precipitation → significant energy transport in form of latent heat Over global oceans, the total precipitation is smaller than the total evaporation and the difference should be balanced mainly by continental run-off Current evaporation & precipitation satellite time series cover about 20 years Combination of evaporation & precipitation data sets is possible to assess global energy and water cycle Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite data HOAPS :: evaporation and precipitation available from common source (SSM/I plus AVHRR)

29 http://www.cmsaf.eu/ CM SAF Event Week 2012 29 Summary HOAPS is a climatology of freshwater flux over the global ocean entirely derived from satellite data Developed at MPI/Uni Hamburg and now at CM SAF Current version HOAPS-3.2 (1987-2008) Extensive evaluation, application, validation of HOAPS Intercomparison studies In-situ validation of precipitation on board of ships Variability analysis of North Atlantic freshwater fluxes Two gridded products are distributed: monthly means (HOAPS-G) and 6-hourly composites (HOAPS-C) The scan-oriented product HOAPS-S is available on request. HOAPS provides consistent fields of evaporation, precipitation, and the resulting freshwater flux that are well suited for further studies of the freshwater flux and related parameters on climatological and monthly scale.
