The use of Argo data in the operational ocean forecasting activities at the UK Met Office

چکیده
The Forecasting Ocean Assimilation Model (FOAM) system is an operational short-range deep ocean forecasting system. It consists of a set of nested model configurations, ranging from a global 1 ̊ model to intermediate resolution basin-scale models down to high resolution regional models, each of which takes boundary conditions from the larger-scale models. The models are forced at the surface by fluxes taken from the operational Numerical Weather Prediction system run at the UK Met Office. Forecasts are made out to 5 days.

Application of data assimilation to ocean and climate prediction
Ocean prediction systems are now able to analyse and predict temperature, salinity and velocity structures within the ocean by assimilating measurements of the ocean’s temperature and salinity into physically based ocean models. Data assimilation combines current estimates of state variables, such as temperature and salinity, from a computational model with measurements of the ocean and atmosph...
