10 www.cmar.csiro.au/staff/oke/ Impact of P-3 Observations on Ocean Analyses Collaboration between AOML and NRL-Stennis –NRL ran two experiments with the 1/25° regional HYCOM: 1. Assimilate all observations 2. Deny only the P3 observations Critical issues affecting this evaluation: –Results depend on choices of model and DA scheme –Impact of update cycle –Impact of relative weighting of synthetic T,S profiles derived from altimetry vs. in-situ T,S profiles Contributed by G. Halliwell, NOAA/AOML/PhOD

11 www.cmar.csiro.au/staff/oke/ RED: With P3 assimilation BLACK: No P3 assimilation Contributed by G. Halliwell, NOAA/AOML/PhOD No assimilation ~ 4-5 degrees No assimilation < 0.5 No assimilation +- 1 degree

26 www.cmar.csiro.au/staff/oke/ Summary  OSEval-TT Work plan completed (but living )  GODAE OceanView OSEval-TT are committed to supporting observation agencies/teams in demonstrating the impact of observations on forecast and analysis products  Many groups are undertaking research activities  Recent initiatives have motivated many developments at operational centers :  DFS, analysis sensitivity, forecast sensitivity  The OSEval-TT proposed the idea of NRT OSEs; and are promoting the idea of Observation Impact Statements (OISs) (fom C. Conlon)  Details of schedule, reporting, dissemination and engagement with GOV Patrons will be refined offline  Considering review article of OSEval achievements (expand on Oceanography special issue)  Resources for OSE / IV work ???
