| Popis: | The MyOcean IBI-MFC (Monitoring & Forecasting Centre) has been providing continuous daily ocean model estimates and forecasts for the Iberia–Biscay–Ireland (IBI) regional seas since 2011. The operational IBI Ocean Forecast Service is based on a NEMO model application that includes high-frequency processes required to characterize regional scale marine processes. Since June 2014, a new IBI reanalysis, comprising both physical and biogeochemical components, covering the time period 2002–2012 has also been available. This paper provides an end-to-end description of these IBI model systems and presents a summary of the scientific validation assessments carried out with the derived operational products. The validation statistics suggest that the systems capture major synoptic and mesoscale ocean circulation features observed in the IBI region. Finally, an IBI roadmap towards the future EU Copernicus Service is outlined, providing a look ahead to future IBI model and data-assimilation developments and operation... |
