Multivariate update<br />

• Multivariate compactly supported covariances<br />

• Update T, S, u & v<br />

• Layer thicknesses (h) adjust between analyses<br />

• Incremental update<br />

• Process <strong>SSH</strong> and T observations separately<br />

System-noise modell<strong>in</strong>g<br />

• Model errors: use model EOFs to generate state perturbations<br />

• Forc<strong>in</strong>g errors: add random perturbations to w<strong>in</strong>d stress forc<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Parallel implementation (message pass<strong>in</strong>g: MPI, SHMEM)<br />

• Runs on SGI Altix or HP SC45<br />

• Time/month on 240 Altix CPUs:<br />

• 8+1 ensemble members: 2.1 hours<br />

• 16+1 ensemble members: 3.8 hours<br />

• 32+1 ensemble members: 7 hours<br />
