This proposal outlines a five-year plan to improve biological and biogeochemical model skills through data assimilation, downscaling, model complexity assessment, and green ocean observation products. The goal is to enhance model portability and predictive skills for operational services. Activities include workshops, symposia, and papers conversion.

Proposal for annual activities MEAP-TT Focus areas: • Demonstration of improved biological/biogeochemical model skill through data assimilation • Downscaling from global to regional systems for biological/ biogeochemical model applications • Assessment of dependence of model skill on biological/biogeochemical model complexity with emphasis on model portability and predictive skill • Demonstration of usefulness of green OO products to end-users Cross-cutting activity • Identification of metrics for system evaluation in view of transfer to operational services
Proposal for annual activities MEAP-TT Implementation => through yearly workshops details are presented on next slides HOWEVER workplan probably be too ambitious, needs to be adjusted at the first MEAP-TT workshop MEAP-TT activities • will engage the sponsors and encourage collaboration with GOV-TT and relevant communities (e.g. IMBER) through symposia and workshops • will aim at transforming reports into papers whenever possible
Proposal for annual activities MEAP-TT Implementation Through yearly workshops Year 1 (target spring 2015) 1) discuss and define the strategic research directions and specific 5-year and 1-year work plans - 2) establish an inventory of biogeochemical/ecological applications based on OO products by running a dedicated survey Expected outcome 1) Refined implementation plan and breakdown of TT activities into achievable yearly milestones 2) Inventory of applications available on GODAE/GOV website
Proposal for annual activities MEAP-TT Year 2, objectives 1) Evaluation of the impacts of physical/biogeochemical data assimilation on model skill across GODAE/GOV systems and in comparison with published studies 2) Refine assessment through a coordinated inter-comparison exercise between OO groups 3) Hold MEAP-TT workshop Expected outcome Report on strengths and weaknesses of OO products (in both real-time and delayed mode) for biogeochemical applications
Proposal for annual activities MEAP-TT Year 3, objectives 1) Evaluate downscaling approaches from global to regional systems for biological/ biogeochemical model applications 2) Hold MEAP-TT workshop Expected outcome Report on the effects of different downscaling approaches on regional biological/biogeochemical model applications
Proposal for annual activities MEAP-TT Year 4, objectives 1) Assessment of dependence of model skill on biological/ biogeochemical model complexity with emphasis on model portability and predictive skill 2) Hold MEAP-TT workshop Expected outcome Report on dependence of model skill on biological/ biogeochemical model complexity
Proposal for annual activities MEAP-TT Year 5, objectives 1) Demonstration of usefulness of green OO products to end-users - Hold MEAP-TT workshop 2) Hold MEAP-TT workshop Expected outcome Report on usefulness of green OO products to end-users
