The Mediterranen Forecasting System: 10 years of developments(and the next ten)N.Pinardi INGV, Bologna, Italy
OUTLINE • MOON: the EuroGOOS Mediterranean ROOS and the Operational Oceanography components • The Observing system achievements • The forecasting system achievements and the quality of the products • The next ten years of developments
The components of operationaloceanography in the Mediterranean Sea:1995-today Numerical models of hydrodynamics and biochemistry at basin scale RT Observing System satellite SST, SLA, VOS-XBT, moored multiparametric buoys, ARGO and gliders End-User applications - Downstream services Numerical models for shelf and coastal areas

MOON data collection: coverage for the 2004-2008 period gliders M3A Buoy ARGO SOOP
MOON data collection system:Coastal and shelf stations in real time Everydayhourly data to validate the analysis and the forecast
MyOcean V1 MFS system: Dec. 15, 2010 upgrade • MFS (Mediterranean Forecasting system) • Horizontal res: 1/16°x1/16° ~ 6.5Km • Vert res: 72 unevenly spaced levels • Lateral open boundary condition in the Atlantic: nesting in Mercator global model • Coupled wave-current model for wind drag coefficient • 2) Biochemical pelagic forecasting system • (OGS) • Horizontal res: 1/16°x1/16° ~ 6.5Km • Vertical res: 72 unevenly spaced levels • Coupling with MyOcean physics • 10 days forecast every three days
MFS analyses: 10 years of quality increase MOM1.1 +SOFA OPA8.2 +SOFA (sys2b) OPA8.2 +3DVAR (sys3a2) NEMO+3DVAR (sys4a) SEA LEVEL in the Mediterranean 1999 rmse 2009
MFS forecast skill against persistence at the surface Forecast -persistence Temperature RMSE error (deg C) Forecast - analysis Forecast days
The MFS users: Limited area sub-basin, shelf scale models Domain overlaps and in-situ distribution
The next ten years problems • Sustainable and innovative monitoring network at large and shelf/coastal scales • Coupled current-waves and atmosphere-ocean models • Data assimilation for all observational sensors, and for coupled ocean-atmosphere and coupled physics and pelagic biochemistry models • Ensemble predictions and re-casting of forecast in probabilistic terms • Re-analyses at high resolution for the past 100 years • Involve users in forecast assessment through donwstream services
The sustainable ocean observatory and laboratory: food, transport, energy and environmental monitoring together An artist view of the Ocean integrated Laboratory and Observatory It can be ‘relocatable’ and adaptive!
Assimilation of gliders observations: large improvements from repeated, across shelf tracks Along path daily averaged glider observations Model without Glider assimilation Model with Glider assimilation
Ensemble predictions: now the first prototypes Initial condition spread Sea Surface Height 10-th fcst day spread Initial condition ensemble spread has amplified at the 10 fcst day in mesoscale regions
In conclusions ERROR: to hear the sea sound you have first to download quicktime and then download the forecast!
