A coordinated effort, based on observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs), has
been carried out by four European ocean forecasting centers for the first time, in order to
provide insights on the present and future design of the in situ Atlantic Ocean observing
system from a monitoring and forecasting perspective. This multi-system approach is
based on assimilating synthetic data sets, obtained by sub-sampling in space and time
using an eddy-resolving unconstrained simulation, named the Nature Run. To assess the
ability of a given Atlantic Ocean observing system to constrain the ocean model state,
a set of assimilating experiments were performed using four global eddy-permitting
systems. For each set of experiments, different designs of the in situ observing system
were assimilated, such as implementing a global drifter array equipped with a thermistor
chain down to 150 m depth or extending a part of the global Argo array in the
deep ocean. While results from the four sy.....
