Summary: BLUElink • Integrated reanalyses of the ocean state over the last 13 • years. Public access now available for registered users: • http://www.cmar.csiro.au/bluelink/ • Global Operational Outputs and Regional (shelf-scale) • Relocatable Nested System (all available by 2006/07): • 7-28 days forecasts (global, BoM), • 3+ days (regional, RAN), • Prognostic variables: SSH; 3-D ocean temperature, salinity and currents
BLUElink II (2006-2010): • Higher resolution models and improved physics: • global coastal littoral zone • river discharge, tidal focing • Improved global analysis and prediction system (towards • Ensemble Kalman Filter): • full SST assimilation • improved anomalies, error statistics • Downscaling: relocatable, fully coupled regional ocean- • atmosphere model with limited DA capability (1/8)º min (1/16)º
