Heat Flux Estimates From a Synthesis of Satellite Observations and a Hydrodynamic Model (With Application to Long Island Sound)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Estimating surface heat fluxes via direct covariance measurements or bulk formulae is observation‐intensive and costly. We present a methodology whereby we estimate net surface heat fluxes as the difference between the depth‐integrated heat tendencies and the depth‐integrated horizontal heat exchanges in a hydrodynamic model. We calibrate the model to achieve a good representation of mixing and advection and then assimilate satellite sea surface temperature (SST) observations into the model at an 8‐day scale. The SST data assimilation forces a good representation of observed temperatures and heat tendencies both at the surface and throughout the water column. We estimate the horizontal heat exchange directly from the model output and then infer the surface fluxes required to close the budget. When we apply this methodology to a model with prescribed surface heat fluxes and without data assimilation, we can recover the prescribed fluxes with an RMS error of ±10 W m −2 and an r 2 of 0.998. When we compare our results to those estimated using Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Response Experiment bulk formulae with observations in western Long Island Sound, we find similarly good agreement.

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.
