Journal ArticleDOI
An operational ocean forecast system incorporating NEMO and SST data assimilation for the tidally driven European North-West shelf
Enda O'Dea,Alex Arnold,K. P. Edwards,R Furner,Patrick Hyder,Matthew Martin,John Siddorn,D. Storkey,James While,Jason Holt,Hedong Liu +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new operational ocean forecast system, the Atlantic Margin Model implementation of the Forecast Ocean Assimilation Model (FOAM-AMM), has been developed for the European North West Shelf (NWS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Implementing a variational data assimilation system in an operational 1/4 degree global ocean model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the implementation of an incremental first guess at an appropriate time three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) data assimilation scheme, NEMOVAR, in the Met Office's operational 1/4 degree global ocean model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Current Configuration of the OSTIA System for Operational Production of Foundation Sea Surface Temperature and Ice Concentration Analyses
Simon Good,Emma Fiedler,Chongyuan Mao,Matthew Martin,Adam Maycock,Rebecca Reid,Jonah Roberts-Jones,Toby Searle,Jennifer Waters,James While,Mark Worsfold +10 more
TL;DR: This technical note focuses on the production of the foundation SST and IC analyses by OSTIA and aims to provide a comprehensive description of the current system configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CO5 configuration of the 7 km Atlantic Margin Model: large-scale biases and sensitivity to forcing, physics options and vertical resolution
Enda O'Dea,R Furner,Sarah Wakelin,John Siddorn,James While,Peter Sykes,Robert R. King,Jason Holt,Helene T. Hewitt +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the physical model component of the standard Coastal Ocean version 5 configuration (CO5) of the European north-west shelf (NWS). CO5 was developed jointly between the Met Office and the National Oceanography Centre.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine ecosystem models for earth systems applications: The MarQUEST experience
J. Icarus Allen,James Aiken,Thomas R. Anderson,Erik T. Buitenhuis,Sarah Cornell,Richard J. Geider,Keith Haines,Takafumi Hirata,Jason Holt,Corinne Le Quéré,Corinne Le Quéré,Nick J. Hardman-Mountford,Oliver N. Ross,Bablu Sinha,James While +14 more
TL;DR: Recommendations are made as to where future investment in marine ecosystem modelling should be focused, highlighting a generic software framework for model development, improved hydrodynamic models, and better parameterisation of new and existing models, reanalysis tools and ensemble simulations.
