Multivariate assimilation into layered ocean models of the North Atlantic using the SEEK filter
The objective of the DIADEM and TOPAZ projects is the development of a pre-operational forecasting prototype for the North Atlantic Ocean, based on advanced assimilation methods. During DIADEM, a demonstration experiment has already been set up, assimilating satellite data into the Miami isopycnic c...

The objective of the DIADEM and TOPAZ projects is the development of a pre-operational forecasting prototype for the North Atlantic Ocean, based on advanced assimilation methods. During DIADEM, a demonstration experiment has already been set up, assimilating satellite data into the Miami isopycnic coordinate ocean (MICOM) model. The new system (TOPAZ) is based on the hybrid coordinate, primitive equation ocean model HYCOM developed at RSMAS, on a 1/3º horizontal grid. The vertical discretization is isopycnal in the ocean interior and z-levels in the mixed layer and shallow-water regions. This new coordinate system improves the discretization of the physical variables and a larger part of the observed signal can then be taken into account by the assimilation process. The assimilation scheme is the SEEK filter (Singular Evolutive Extended Kalman Filter), a reduced order approximation of the Kalman filter, in which only the most significant directions of forecast error are controlled by the observations. The SEEK assimilation scheme has been upgrated to also incorporate hydrographic in situ measurements in addition to surface observations. In theory this only requires a new observation operator and three-dimensional, multivariate error covariances. However a keypoint is the choice of a new estimation space ensuring the robustness of the method. In this contribution, we analyse preliminary results obtained with the upgrated system.
