Zusammenfassung |
This paper details updates to the Met Office's operational coupled
hydrodynamic-ecosystem model from the 7 km Medium-Resolution Continental
Shelf – POLCOMS-ERSEM (MRCS-PE) system (Siddorn et al., 2007) to the 7 km
Atlantic Margin Model NEMO-ERSEM (AMM7-NE) system. We also provide a
validation of the ecosystem component of the new operational system.
Comparisons have been made between the model variables and available in
situ, satellite and climatological data. The AMM7-NE system has also been
benchmarked against the MRCS-PE system. The transition to the new AMM7-NE
system was successful and it has been running operationally since March 2012
and has been providing products through MyOcean (http://www.myocean.eu.org) since that time. The results presented herein show the
AMM7-NE system performs better than the MRCS-PE system with the most
improvement in the model nutrient fields. The problem of nutrient
accumulation in the MRCS-PE system appears to be solved in the new AMM7-NE
system with nutrient fields improved throughout the domain as discussed in
Sect. 4. Improvements in model chlorophyll are also seen but are more
modest. |
