GMAO CGCM coupled forecast<strong>in</strong>g system<br />

- GMAO AGCM, 2 x 2.5 x L34<br />

- LSM: Mosaic (SVAT)<br />

- OGCM: Poseidon v4, 1/3 x 5/8 x L27<br />

- Production ODAS: OI of <strong>in</strong> situ temperature profiles with sal<strong>in</strong>ity adjustment<br />

- Experimental ODAS: EnKF<br />

Note: ODAS is run on OGCM prior to coupl<strong>in</strong>g to AGCM & LSM<br />

OGCM<br />

• Poseidon (Schopf and Loughe, 1995)<br />

• Quasi-isopycnal vertical coord<strong>in</strong>ate<br />

• Prognostic variables are h, t, s, u and v<br />

• Sea surface height (<strong>SSH</strong>) is diagnostic: h = S i buoyancy(t i , s i ) h i<br />

• About 30 million prognostic variables at 1/3 x 5/8 x L27 resolution<br />
