26 Future plans and research activities SEEK/HYCOM 1. Nested-grid data assimilation with HYCOM 2. From deep ocean towards the shelf 3. Transition of a SEEK prototype for intercomparison exp. SEEK/OPA 1. MERCATOR: implementation in the 1/15 North Atlantic 2. E.U. MERSEA project: - further R&D in the perspective of global HR prototypes - assimilation into 1/3 NA coupled physical/npzd model 3. SEEK smoother in the Tropical Pacific

27 Discussion

28 Towards operational D.A. implementations : a few guidelines 1. Theoretical framework: from OI to Ensemble Methods 2. Computer cost (and human resources!) 3. Assimilation of multivariate data: SLA, SST, clim SSS in situ profiles, 4. Scientific community working on research and development in the long term
