– Successive corrections (SC) (+ sub-optimal schemes)
– Variational inverse model (VIM) (stat. Equiv. to OI)
– ….

Climatology: some details
• 25 standard vertical levels• (Obsolete: automatic QC:
– data rejected if outside 3*std locally)• Sandwell bathymetry at 2’
– Used for contours and FEM• Reference field=climatic field
– (semi-normed analysis)• T,S,Alkalinity,DOX,NH4,NO2,NO3,PO4, SiO4,H2S,pH,Chl• Climatologic, seasonal, monthly, inter-annual and decadal temporal
windows when relevant• 20km x 20 km, 8 km x8 km or 5 km x 5 km resolution• Analyzed and error fields

A good example: enough data
![Page 11: Michel Rixen 1 , Jean-Marie Beckers 2 and Catherine Maillard 3](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56814333550346895dafa65e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

VIM and OI: statistical hypotheses
- gaussian frequency distributions- statistics are homogeneous and isotrope- uncorrelated noise

Some potential problems…
• Statistical hypothesis• Correlation length=100-300km, so at least 200-
2000 data homogeneously distributed needed!• Few data at deeper levels:
– extrapolate from upper levels?
• Coastal data bias beyond the physical diffusion/ advection through correlation length: in several areas the only existing data
• Last but not least: obvious errors in the raw data (e.g. instrument calibration)
![Page 26: Michel Rixen 1 , Jean-Marie Beckers 2 and Catherine Maillard 3](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56814333550346895dafa65e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Selection of robust fields
• Annual , seasonal and monthly climatology – Temperature, Salinity
• Annual and seasonal– Oxygen, Silicate, Phosphate – Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in the Black Sea
• Annual only– Nitrate, Nitrite, PH, Ammonium, Alkalinity,
Chlorophyll
• So far: (almost) the best we can do…

Future
• More data!
• Other parameters (e.g. ADCP, DIC, POM, DOC,…)
• Multivariate analysis and QC (bio-chemical data!)
• 3D Variational analysis?
• More high level final products
• Your feedback
