Task 2.1 Assembly of boundary conditions and forcing functions DMI provided atmospheric forcing from a common regional climate hindcast (1990-2009) for four European regional seas, namely the N.E. Atlantic (PML), the Baltic Sea (DMI), the Mediterranean Sea (HCMR) and the Black Sea (METU). Tian Tian
The hindcast simulation was driven with the ERA-interim reanalysis data during the period 1989-2009, performed as a poor man s reanalysis. It has a spatial resolution of 12-km (0.11 degree) with grids 452 (zonal) by 432 (meridional) in the European CORDEX-like domain Tian Tian
Riverine input 58 rivers applied in the Baltic Sea. Daily river run-off and nutrient loads (DIN and DIP) from the HYPE model reanalysis (1990-2008, http://balthypeweb.smhi.se/). Tian Tian

Task 2.5 Data assimilation Sub-task: a direct usage of satellite-derived light attenuation coefficient Kd in the DMI-ERGOM Monthly mean Kd-sat (marcoast.dmi.dk) was linearly interpolated to daily fields in 2007. The results are compared with a simulation with parameterized Kd-par (by Zenwen Wan) against observations at 1-18 stations. Observation at Station 10 in 2007 is missing. Tian Tian

Task 4.2 Baltic Sea seasonal forecast experiments ECMWF seasonal forecast products (http://www.ecmwf.int/products/changes/system4/) from 11 ensemble members were extracted since 01-07-2011. The data will be used to provide boundary conditions for DMI high-resolution interactive coupled ocean-atmosphere models in the Baltic Sea. This will ultimately yield 11 ensemble experiments with the 3D biogeochemical model (ERGOM) for 5-month ecological forecasting. Tian Tian

Objective: To quantitatively assess the in situ biogeochemical observing system in the Baltic Sea: two indicators effective coverage and explained variance, are defined with parameters obtained from reanalysis data Reference: Høyer, J. L., and J. She, 2007: Optimal interpolation of sea surface temperature for the North Sea and Baltic Sea. Journal of Marine Systems, 65, 176 189, doi:10.1016/j.jmarsys.2005.03.008. Fu, W., J. L. Høyer, and J. She, 2011: Assessment of the three dimensional temperature and salinity observational networks in the Baltic Sea and North Sea. Ocean Science, 7, 75 90.
Effective Coverage If two grid cells ( xo, yo, to ) and ( xi, yi, ti ) satisfy: f ( xi xo, y i y o, ti t o ) f c Where fc is the cutting correlation, the two grid cells are called a pair of impact cells, fc can be the e-folding scale ( fc=1/e )
T/S Obs network assessment, effective coverage The spatial and temporal scales of the temperature and salinity variations derived in were used to fit spatial and temporal correlation models. Correlation models determined at each layer were used together with the meta data to calculate the effective coverage of the existing observational networks. Effective coverage of the Mediterranean Sea for 10 meters (upper) and 75 meters (lower) depth.
Obs network assessment, explained variance Explained variances obtained by applying a multiregression method on the T/S in situ network in the Mediterrenean. Explained variance at the depth of 10m (upper) and 75m (lower) for temperature
Things to do in the Baltic Sea The monthly series of observations system for Chl a, DIN, DIP, DO Use the reanalysis data for 2001-2010 to calibrate the parameters Issue to discuss At present, the two indicators include parameters, which provide the information of spatial correlation. The parameter derived from reanalysis data may be subject to model deficiencies. Experience with T/S network assessment shows the validity of the method. What about biogeochemical model? the outcome of the assessment is informative. The spatial and temporal gaps existing in the observing network can be identified by the two indicators, but more interpretations are needed to better understand the reasons of the gaps in certain areas.
Issue to discuss 20 years hindcast, budgets balance across nutrient pools, with fixed parameters Full coupling or partially coupling with focuses on the target factors
