The mean surface circulation of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre: A comparison of estimates derived from new gravity and oceanographic measurements
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new mean sea surface topography (MSST) is used to estimate the surface circulation of the subpolar gyre of the northwest Atlantic. The MSST is produced using a new geoid model derived from a blend of gravity data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission, satellite altimeters, and terrestrial measurements. The MSST is compared with a topography produced by an ocean model which is spectrally nudged to a new Argo period temperature and salinity climatology. The mean surface circulation associated with the geodetic MSST is compared with estimates of the circulation from surface drifters, moorings, and other in situ measurements. The geodetic MSST and circulation estimate are found to be in good agreement with the other estimates, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The topography is found to be an improvement over an earlier geodetic estimate with better resolution of the coastal currents. Deficiencies are identified in the ocean model's estimate of flow over shelf regions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
