Zusammenfassung |
Operational prediction of the marine environment is recognised as a
fundamental research issue in Europe. We present a pre-operational
implementation of a biogeochemical model for the pelagic waters of the
Mediterranean Sea, developed within the framework of the MERSEA-IP European
project. The OPATM-BFM coupled model is the core of a fully automatic system
that delivers weekly analyses and forecast maps for the Mediterranean Sea
biogeochemistry. The system has been working in its current configuration
since April 2007 with successful execution of the fully automatic
operational chain in 87% of the cases while in the remaining cases the
runs were successfully accomplished after operator intervention. A
description of the system developed and also a comparison of the model results
with satellite data are presented, together with a measure of the model
skill evaluated by means of seasonal target diagrams. Future studies will
address the implementation of a data assimilation scheme for the
biogeochemical compartment in order to increase the skill of the model's
performance. |
