dc.description.abstract | 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 systems show similarities and differences, the
comparison of the experiments with the Nature Run, generally demonstrates a positive
impact of the different extra observation networks on the temperature and salinity fields.
The spread of the multi-system simulations, combined with the sensitivity of each
system to the evaluated observing networks, allowed us to discuss the robustness
of the results and their dependence on the specific analysis system. By helping
define and test future observing systems from an integrated observing system view,
the present work is an initial step toward better-coordinated initiatives supporting the
evolution of the ocean observing system and its integration within ocean monitoring
and forecasting systems. | en_US |
