  1. Air-sea interaction in a seamless system ORAS4 exploitation Documentation: Techmemo and invited paper to QJ Engaging with CLIVAR/GODAE reanalysis intercomparison Dissemination: Reanalysis conference, data in public servers, web Scientific papers: Ocean Heat Content Hiatus (submitted) Two different streams of work • From ORAS4 to the next system Upgrading software (NEMO/NEMOVAR) Coupled Data Assimilation SeaIce modelling and prediction SeaIce initialization High resolution ocean Modelling air-sea interaction

  10. SEA-ICE assimilation using Nudging In PIOMAS, X is a function of the innovation as follows: • Experiments: K=cte and K_PIOMAS • Result: Ice Thickness (unconstrained) very sensitive to the nudging scheme • Comments: • The PIOMAS expression is somehow ad-hoc, not easy to apply to a variational formulation. • Importance of the flow dependence. Can we find an alternative effective flow dependent formulation for background error? • One possibility is the log transformation (so ice concentration errors are Gaussian), but this is not enough or not trivial (a,b,c). Non linear K (Rα=0.01) Typical values ( α=6 and Rα=0.01) α = 3, 6 , 9 X-Sea-ice. Bounded Non Gaussian Y-transformed. Gaussian.

  11. Summary • Exploitation and divulgation of NEMOVAR ORAS4 • Transition to NEMO V3.4 and NEMOVAR V3.4 • NEMOVAR working in ORCA025 • Sea Ice sensitivity to nudging schemes. Alternative variational formulation. • Still need improvement • Weak AMOC at 26N. • Tuning NEMOVAR/NEMO namelists for ORC025. MetOffice background errors wanted. • Sensitivity tests of DA window, spin up • Apply direct bias correction • Include new OSTIA SST dataset • MDT. MetOffice algorithm wanted. • Apply sea surface height assimilation • ……
