  2. Work Package Main Objectives • Scientific objectives are • Improve the quality of current SL TAC products (along track products, gridded products) thanks to the feedbacks coming from MyOcean Users (external , intenal) and from WP17 (calval) & WP18 (multiyear assessment) activities • Finalize the development of new products. New generation for assimilation (TAPAS). Collaboration with MFCs needed • Technical objectives are • Improve and consolidate the processing chains (both for NRT and DT/REP products) • New version of the system more configurable to manage global and regional processing • Operational objectives are • Continue to operate the system with integration of evolution (new algo, new products) • Handle the constellation events, new missions (AltiKa, Sentinel-3, Jason3) • Improve the product latency • Do and enrich the Service to EEA (new climate indicators) MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013

  4. System Evolution 10 versions of the system installedbetween V2 and V3

  5. System Evolution • Objectives were • New version of the system more configurable to manage global and regional processing • Main achievements are • Systementirely redeveloped (python). Big effort done this year • Day to day management of the constellation changes • Constellation is getting old=> requires effort to maintain the level of quality • Main difficulties encountered • Visualisation of Sea Level products (along track) is not possible today. This should be possible in V4 • Difficult to manage main Myocean Version (3&4) and the daily constraints (constellation) MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013

  6. System Evolution March/April 2012: loss of Envisat Jason-1 gap • March/April 2013: • Jason-1 gap (15 days) • Jason-2 gap (12 days) • No reference • mission earlyapril June 2012 February 2013 Jason-2 Jason-1 Geodetic Cryosat J1N Envisat Mean Contribution (%) • The SL-TAC productqualitydepends on the health of the altimetry constellation. • The constellation isgettingold: Jason-1 is 12 yrold, Jason-2 hadits first unavailibilitythismonthafteralmost five years of operation • We are verylucky to have Cryosat-2 in the system Impact on SL-TAC productsquality: Errorincrease Error (% of variance)

  7. SLA measured by Cryosat-2 in the Arcticregionduring the historical minimum of seaicecoverage on the 15th septembre 2012 Gridded SLA mapcomputedfrom Jason-1 & 2 Along track SLA data fromCryosat (CNES processor) • Cryosat-2 integrationwas one of the sucess story of Myocean-1 SeaiceboundaryfromMyocean • Success story Myo1

  8. System Evolution • New satellites have to beused • Altika has been launched on 25th of Februarythisyear. Currently in Calval phase. It willbeintegrated in the DUACS/SL-TAC system in the 2ndhalf of the year • HY2A has the technicalcapability of measuring good SeaLevel (payload). Preliminaryassessment has proved the interest of these data. Fine assessment of the productstill in progress. • =>Sentinel-3 is needed ! Jason-2/ HY2A SLA map (demo) Legeais et al 2012 • Importance of Myocean interface/coordination withspace component (Level 2)

  18. Production Evolution  Changing the reference period can modify the SLA instantaneous signature of the specifics structures of the global surface circulation. It does not modify the Absolute Dynamic Topography. • New reference priod : SLA, MSS and MDT referenced to the [1993,2012] period instead of current [1993, 1999] period. Fig: SLA along a meridional section crossing the theKuroshio in December 2011. The reference change will impact the mean of the SLA at regional scales 20-y reference [1993, 2012] 7-y reference [1993,1999] 3-y reference [1993,1995] cm

  21. First period summary and next steps • Several improvement for SL TAC system and product • New system allowing a better latency of the product • Big work in the management of the constellation events • Definition of new Tapas products that will fullfill the MFC need • Good perspectives in the near future • Integration of Altika data in the system (and maybe HY2A) • A New generation of product in V4 • A complete reprocessing of the entire altimetry series (20 years) in V4 • Nex steps: toward high resolution altimetry • SAR altimetry data seems to have the potential to detect small scale structures (30 to 50 km) on instantaneous observations • Work has to continue to prepare future missions (Sentinel-3 and Jason-CS) MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013
