MONITORING & FORECASTINGCENTRE for IBI

MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – Cork /16-17 April 2013

Work Package Main Objectives

MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013

To ensure and improve the reliable and accurate provision of a regional ocean forecast service on the IBI region

To ensure management of service and products, update on new IBI products (i.e. Re-analysis)

To provide a back-up capability: A nominal system IBI-NOM operated by Puertos del Estado A Back-up system IBI-BUP, operated by Mercator.

The system will include modeling improvements and advances derived from R&D when demonstrated.

A robust Tier 1 R&D activity is planned in order to address specific demands of improvement in the operational system

To contribute to enhance IBI users community

System & Production Evolution

MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013

Main achievements for V3 are

IBI-V3 solution includes improved river discharge data

A more robust & efficient operational suite:

Some sources of IBI incidents minimized with incorporation of some extra QC procedures

Noticeable upgrade of IBI-MFC Validation capabilities:

Launch of NARVAL (north Atlantic Regional VALidation) Tool

System & Production Evolution

MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013

Main difficulties encountered

Changes in computational environment in both Production lines:

Significant changes in Production hardware

environments both in NOM (PdE-CESGA for V3) & BUP (MO-MF for V4)

Open issue: Risk for operational V3 & V4 services ?

MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013

Results from Test of internal BUP production services:

Slightly difference in final products format (i.e. netcdf file format) has an unexpected impact on the download of mixed IBI (NOM & BUP production origin) data through subsetter service (PdE MisGW) ...

River runoffs of Adour (on the left) and Garonne (on the right). Red line: monthly climatology runoffs used in IBI-V1, blue line daily runoffs used in IBI-V2 and green line daily runoffs which take into account tributaries and used in IBI-V3.

IBI solution upgrades:

IBI-V3 will have a more realistic inputs for river discharge runoff data used. (More details on QuID)

IBI River inputs locations. In green: daily runoffs hindcasts from E-HYPE model (SMHI)In red: daily runoffs obs data from PREVIMER

(FCs from E-HYPE only )

IBI CAL/VAL improvements

IBI Improved CalVal capabilities Noticeable upgrade of the IBI-MFC Validation capabilities:

Launch of NARVAL Tool (On-line & Delayed Mode)

Service and user outreach Enhance user feedback (i.e. bug detection in current IBI products,

new taylored user-oriented products)

12/14

Objectives for V3 accomplished Amelioration axis:

Operational aspects: Reduction of execution times associated to model and computer

changes Increase Robustness, preventing new risks identified before V4 Complete the full B.U. solution

R&D aspects Improvement of engineering procedures to validate and include

R&D tier 1 developments Complete IBI R&D plan as established in PMP
