  3. MED-SST Products:GOS involvement in national and international projects/programmes Mediterranean Forecasting System Adricosm Medspiration Mersea PRIMI GODAE Global High Resolution SST Pilot Project (GHRSST-PP)

  4. CNR-ISAC-GOS SST processing chain (operative since October 1998) has been designed to provide SST data for assimilation in the MFS forecasting model. MFS_SST are daily optimally Interpolated Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) maps produced in near real time at 5 Km resolution (1/16°x1/16° MFS model grid) The same OI scheme has also been used to perform a Re-Analysis (RAv0) of AVHRR Pathfinder SST time series, from 1985 to 2005 by CNR-GOS in collaboration with ENEA. This product has also been used to build up a Med SST climatology Since July 2006, In the framework of MERSEA, CNR-ISAC also produces multi-sensors OISST maps merging a variety of sensors (AVHRR, MODIS, SEVERI, AATSR) as contribution to the GODAE/GHRSST-PP http://gos.ifa.rm.cnr.it/

Input Data • EXT.DAT.001: all theL2P night time data available from GHRSST: • ATS_NR_2P, ENVISAT AATSR near real time SSTskin data • AVHRR18_G, AVHRR NOAA-18 GAC derived SST data • AVHRR18_L, AVHRR NOAA-18 LAC derived SST data • AVHRR17_G, AVHRR NOAA-17 GAC derived SST data • AVHRR17_L, AVHRR NOAA-17 LAC derived SST data • NAR18, AVHRR NOAA-18 derived SST data • NAR17, AVHRR NOAA-17 derived SST data • SEVIRI, MSG-SEVIRI derived SST data • MODIS_A, EOS AQUA MODIS derived SST data • MODIS_T, EOS TERRA MODIS derived SST data • EXT.DAT.002: AVHRRL2 SST from NOAA18 NOAA17 acquired and processed by CNR-ISAC Rome HRPT station

  8. Data Merging Reference sensor ”merged files” • Interpolation uses in input ‘merged’ files (1 SST map per day) • The reference sensor (assumed with zero bias against in situ SST) is used for the adjustment of the SST values measured by the other sensors. The reference sensors were selected on the basis of sensors evaluation, they are: ATS_NR_2P NAR17 (MODIS_T, 4 micron) • Evaluation of the bias between reference sensor and the other sensors is performed on collated pixels on a daily basis (only if sufficient co-located pixels are found) • Merging procedure selects valid pixels using first high resolution L2P data the sensor sequence listed below: ATS_NR_2P , NAR17, MODIS_T, NAR18 , MODIS_A, AVHRR17_L, AVHRR18_L, SEVIRI, AVHRR18_G, AVHRR17_G

  10. SST INTERPOLATION by Optimal Interpolation L =180 km τ =7 days Medspiration results: The Interpolation is performed in space and time, using a time series of daily SST maps: (1 SST map per day) The scheme drives a ‘multi-basin’ analysis to avoid data propagation across land, from one sub-basin to the other. NRT OISST map is produced every day at 6 am. Delayed OISST map is produced every day after 7 days The outputs are follows GHRSST convetion (netCDF, Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata convention versione 1.0)

  20. Summary of SST Dissemination to Mediterranean Users • Primary user of SST is the MFS at INGV • National forecasting Systems and MOON operational system throughout MOON MoU (31 centres) • Research and educational users (> 200) • Research studies, cruises planning, etc • Commercial Users • ENI-AGIP, Telespazio • Environmental Agency: • EEA (SST contribution Climate change report 2008, contribution to the monthly bulletin in discussion) • UNEP/MAP (draft of the monthly bulletin is already proposed) MoU is in discussion • Agreement with Italian Meteorological service for use the SST in their broadcast system is under discussion

  21. Conclusion and Future plans • The Satellite Observing System of the Mediterranean Sea provides NRT, DT, and re-analysis satellite products in agreement with the requirements of the MCS core products • This system will be the MOON component of the SST-TAC of MCS in the framework of MyOcean • The CNR processing SST chains will be modified to provide also Black Sea products in accordance with the MyOcean requirements • In the framework of National Projects (Adricosm & PRIMI): • new multi-sensors UHR SST products will be developed for the Italian Sea (Adriatic, Sicily Channel, Tyrrhenian Sea at 1 Km resolution) • the new SST products will be assimilation in the Adriatic, Sicily Channel forecasting models • The SST assimilation scheme will modified to take into account that the characteristics satellite SST (e. g. restoring coefficient depending on wind intensity & regime, e.g. Artale et al. JGR 2002 )
