Data Assimilation and Model Evaluation Experiments - North Atlantic Basin; Preliminary Experiment Plan.

Abstract

A preliminary experiment plan is presented for Data Assimilation and Model Evaluation Experiments -- North Atlantic Basin (DAMEE-NAB). The plan describes the approach to implement a comparative environment in which to assess numerical ocean model nowcast/forecast capabilities and data assimilation methods and techniques. Goals are stated which provide direction for the long term, the next five years, and specifically for the next two years. A design of the experiment is outlined in terms of domain, data requirements, and measures of performance. The plan will be refined over the next year and will be allowed to evolve as the experiment proceeds. A brief description by participants of models and data assimilation methods are included.
