The MyOcean IBI Ocean Forecast and Reanalysis Systems: operational products and roadmap to the future Copernicus Service

TLDR
The MyOcean IBI-MFC (Monitoring & Forecasting Centre) has been providing continuous daily ocean model estimates and forecasts for the Iberia-Biscay-Ireland (IBI) regional seas since 2011 as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The MyOcean IBI-MFC (Monitoring & Forecasting Centre) has been providing continuous daily ocean model estimates and forecasts for the Iberia–Biscay–Ireland (IBI) regional seas since 2011 The operational IBI Ocean Forecast Service is based on a NEMO model application that includes high-frequency processes required to characterize regional scale marine processes Since June 2014, a new IBI reanalysis, comprising both physical and biogeochemical components, covering the time period 2002–2012 has also been available This paper provides an end-to-end description of these IBI model systems and presents a summary of the scientific validation assessments carried out with the derived operational products The validation statistics suggest that the systems capture major synoptic and mesoscale ocean circulation features observed in the IBI region Finally, an IBI roadmap towards the future EU Copernicus Service is outlined, providing a look ahead to future IBI model and data-assimilation developments and operation

The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service Ocean State Report

Karina von Schuckmann, +77 more
TL;DR: The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) Ocean State Report (OSR) provides an annual report of the state of the global ocean and European regional seas for policy and decision-makers with the additional aim of increasing general public awareness about the status of, and changes in, the marine environment as mentioned in this paper.

Artificial neural networks as emulators of process-based models to analyse bathing water quality in estuaries

TL;DR: The application of the method to the Eo Estuary, located on the northwestern coast of Spain, demonstrated that artificial neural networks are viable surrogates of highly nonlinear process-based models and highly variable forcings.

The October 29, 2018 storm in Northern Italy - An exceptional event and its modeling

TL;DR: In this paper, a very severe storm affected Northern Italy, including the Adriatic Sea, including Venice, and the ensuing surge and wave conditions at and in front of Venice stand at the extreme tail of the respective historical return period distributions.

Efficient Inverse Modeling of Barotropic Ocean Tides

TL;DR: In this paper, a relocatable system for generalized inverse (GI) modeling of barotropic ocean tides is described, where the GI penalty functional is minimized using a representer method, which requires repeated solution of the forward and adjoint linearized shallow water equations.

A global ocean carbon climatology: Results from Global Data Analysis Project (GLODAP)

TL;DR: The Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP) as mentioned in this paper uses ocean sampling data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), and the Ocean Atmosphere Carbon Exchange Study (OACES) to produce objectively gridded property maps at a 1° resolution on 33 depth surfaces chosen to match existing climatologies for temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrients.

Modelling the global ocean tides: modern insights from FES2004

TL;DR: A review of the state-of-the-art in the field of finite element solutions (FES) atlases can be found in this paper, where the authors introduce the FES2004 tidal atlas and validate the model against in situ and satellite data.
