A virtual workshop bringing together experts in the field of ocean and coupled data assimilation to discuss the latest progress, to outline the main challenges and to identify new directions for research.
Ocean data assimilation underpins many forecasting and reanalysis applications. Seasonal forecasts rely on ocean data assimilation to produce initial conditions for the ocean component of coupled forecasts. Multi-decadal ocean and coupled reanalyses enable the calibration of these forecasts and allow studies into the climate of the ocean’s recent past. Higher resolution global and regional short-range forecasts of the ocean also require initialisation through data assimilation, which has been the focus of groups contributing to the Data Assimilation Task Team (DA-TT) of OceanPredict.
