Mediterranean Sea Biogeochemical Analysis and Forecast (CMEMS MED-Biogeochemistry)

MEDSEA_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_BIO_006_014

Short Description

The biogeochemical analysis and forecasts for the Mediterranean Sea at 1/24 degree are produced by means of the MedBFM model system (i.e. the physical-biogeochemical OGSTM-BFM model coupled with the 3DVarBio assimilation scheme). MedBFM model is run by OGS and uses as physical forcing the outputs of the Med-PHY products. Seven days of analysis/hindcast and ten days of forecast are bi-weekly produced on Wednesday and on Saturday, with the assimilation of surface chlorophyll concentration from satellite observations (provided by the CMEMS-OCTAC).
