The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and systematic reference information on the physical biogeochemical ocean sea-ice state for global European regional seas. CMEMS serves a wide range of users (more than 15,000 are now registered to service) applications. Observations fundamental pillar value-added chain that goes from observation users. used by Thematic Assembly Centres (TACs) derive high-level data products Forecasting (MFCs) validate constrain...
A new operational ocean forecast system, the Atlantic Margin Model implementation of Forecast Ocean Assimilation (FOAM-AMM), has been developed for European North West Shelf (NWS). An overview system is presented including shelf specific developments physical model, Nucleus Modelling (NEMO), and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data assimilation scheme. Initial validation tides model SST. The SST skill significantly improved by Finally, an analysis seasonal tidal mixing fronts shows that these,...

Abstract. Accurately representing coastal and shelf seas in global ocean models represents one of the grand challenges Earth system science. They are regions immense societal importance through goods services they provide, hazards pose their role global-scale processes cycles, e.g. carbon fluxes dense water formation. However, poorly represented current generation models. In this contribution, we aim to briefly characterise problem, then identify important physical processes, scales, needed...
Abstract. The North-West European Shelf ocean forecasting system has been providing oceanographic products for the continental shelf seas more than 15 years. In that time, several different configurations have implemented, updating model and data assimilation components. latest configuration to be put in operation, an eddy-resolving at 1.5 km (AMM15), replaces 7 (AMM7) used 8 years deliver forecast Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service its precursor projects.

Abstract. It is hypothesized that more accurate prediction and warning of natural hazards, such as the impacts severe weather mediated through various components environment, require a integrated Earth System approach to forecasting. This hypothesis can be explored using regional coupled systems, in which known interactions feedbacks between different physical biogeochemical environment across sky, sea land simulated. Such systems are becoming increasingly common research tools. paper...
Operational oceanography can be described as the provision of routine oceanographic information needed for decision-making purposes. It is dependent upon sustained research and development through end-to-end framework an operational service, from observation collection to delivery mechanisms. The core components systems are a multi-platform network, data management system, assimilative prediction dissemination/accessibility system. These interdependent, necessitating communication exchange...

Abstract This paper outlines an approach to complex spatio-temporal marine ecosystem modelling as applied the North Western European Continental Shelf. The model presented here goes further than previous work, we combine a higher resolution hydrodynamic model, POL-3DB baroclinic with Regional Seas Ecosystem Model. combination of models includes many processes (benthic-pelagic coupling, dynamic zooplankton and nitrogen, phosphorous silicate cycling) authors have identitied missing from their...
Abstract. Operational ocean forecasts are typically produced by modelling systems run using a forced mode approach. The evolution of the state is not directly influenced surface waves, and dynamics driven an external source meteorological data which independent state. Model coupling provides one approach to increase extent forecast can represent interactions feedbacks between ocean, atmosphere seen in nature.
