Advancing Ocean Monitoring with Data Assimilation

Advancing Ocean Monitoring with Data Assimilation
New research shows that merging biogeochemical observations with models improves the simulation of phytoplankton phenology and reduces uncertainty in plankton community structure & production. However, chlorophyll assimilation may increase uncertainty in trophic efficiency & POC.
The study highlights the need for controllability assessments as a standard practice in operational ocean modeling, ensuring more accurate ecosystem indicators for marine monitoring & climate studies.
