•Further analyses to reveal seasonal cycle•Comparison to be made with semi-analytic solution
CMOS, Kelowna BC, May 2008 C-NOOFS status
Theme 1 and 2: Conclusion
NEMO3-LIM2 with GEM forcing produces a realistic seasonal cycle without major SST drift
A non-persistent warm bias occurs during the summers of the north and south hemispheres (slightly reduced with 3-hourly forcing)
Significant variability in SST is added with 3-hourly forcing (diurnal cycle)
SSH variability is increased in coastal areas with 3-hourly forcing and the distribution of meso-scale eddies is changed
CMOS, Kelowna BC, May 2008 C-NOOFS status
Future work
Verification with in situ and satellite derived data
Work to explain the summer warm bias
More global diagnostics
Sensitivity tests to flux parameterization (CORE, GEM physics, …) and TKE parameters
Adding MERCATOR data assimilation system
Pseudo-operational 10 day forecasts using GEM forcing

Summary
• Global 1º model able to reproduce large-scale SSH changes during altimeter era
• Wind stress changes are primary cause of SSH trend and RMS at low and mid latitudes;
• impacts of buoyancy forcing mainly show at high latitudes
• 1º NEMO is being coupled to 100 km GEM; expected to be a good tool for study/prediction of intra-seasonal/seasonal variations
