2 Topics The Mediterranean Forecasting System general description: components and products System: 1.High resolution atmospheric forcing 2.Atmospheric pressure 3.Increased horizontal resolution biogeochemical component Products: 4.New reanalysis Next evolution

8 8Med-currents R&D: 2. NEMO model : Introduction of the Atm pressure Barotropic Baroclinic cc cc The atmospheric pressure is usually neglected, however it can play an important role in specific regions of the world characterized by geometrical constrains like the Med Sea. The free-surface elevation response to atmospheric pressure can be composed of External Gravity Waves (EGWs). EGWs require a very small time step  time scale short compared to other processes Two methods are implemented in NEMO to allow a longer time step solving the primitive equation in presence of EGWs: the so called filtered and the time-splitting method.

9 The system with atm. pressure and time splitting (V4) is better than the previous version (V3) 2. MFS-V4 (with atm. Pressure) evaluation: Sea Level in Venice Model: atm. pressure & time splitting parameterization V3  V4 Data Assim.: SLA along track without DAC correction (J2, Cr2, S/A)

12 Improvement in reproducing sub-regional annual means of vertically integrated net primary production in western Mediterranean areas, other areas remain unaffected. Not enough observation to evaluate the high spatial frequency. Basin-scale net primary production is affected by increased resolution in mesoscale-active areas such as Alboran Sea MED ALB Colella (2006) R8R16 Mediterranean (MED) 90  48107  58103  59 Alboran Sea (ALB) 179  116242  120178  101 South West Med (SWW) 113  43149  81135  81 North West Med (NWM) 115  67123  72122  74 Levantine (LEV) 72  2197  6497  65 __ 1/8 __ 1/16 3.
