Atlantic- Iberian Biscay Irish- Ocean
IBI_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_PHYS_005_001_b
Atlantic-Iberian Biscay Irish- Ocean Physics Analysis and Forecast
The IBI MFC provides through its operational IBI Ocean Analysis and
Forecasting system, a 5-day hydrodynamic forecast (+ 1 day of hindcast as best
estimate) including high frequency processes of paramount importance to
characterize regional scale marine processes (i.e. tidal forcing, surges and high
frequency atmospheric forcing, fresh water river discharge, etc.). The system is
based on a (eddy-resolving) NEMO model application run at 1/36 deg. horizontal
resolution.
IBI_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_PHYS_005_001_b is the product of the IBI
Physical Forecasting system and it is composed by 3D daily means fields of
Temperature, Salinity, Sea Surface Height, Zonal Velocity and Meridional
Velocity, as well as by hourly means of surface fields (Sea Surface Height and
Surface Temperature and Currents). This product is daily generated by Puertos
del Estado (Nominal IBI System) and Mercator-Ocean (as Back-up System).

Atlantic-Iberian Biscay Irish- Ocean Physics Reanalysis (2002-2011)
A high-resolution 1/12º reanalysis comprising physical variables and covering the
altimetric decade (2002-2012) is provided by the MyOcean IBI-MFC for the
Atlantic-Iberian
Biscay
IrishOcean.
The Physical IBI reanalysis product is generated through the IBIRYS ocean
reanalysis system and is based on a NEMO model application similar to the one
currently used to generate the IBI-MFC daily forecast service. The NEMO
application has a free-surface and includes same tidal forcing than the IBI
forecast one. Horizontal resolution of the IBI reanalysis is 1/12º, and the vertical
one reaches up to 75 z-levels. The reanalysis run was forced with ECMWF ERAInterim 3-h atmospheric data. Boundary conditions were imposed from MyOcean
GLOBAL reanalysis run. A similar assimilation scheme to the one used in the
MyO
GLOBAL
reanalysis
were
used.
IBI_REANALYSIS_PHYS_005_002 product comprises 3D monthly and daily
mean fields of Temperature, Salinity, Sea Surface Height, Zonal and Meridional
Velocity components. Likewise, hourly mean of surface fields (Sea Surface
Height, Surface Temperature and Currents, together with barotropic velocities)
are also provided. This product was generated by the Mercator Ocean
Production Unit and it is distributed by the Puertos del Estado Dissemination
Unit.
