Global, Basin and Shelf Ocean Applications of OPA
An Inter-Agency Canadian Initiative
EC-DFO-DND + Universities + Mercator-OceanCONCEPTS -- Canadian Operational network of Coupled Environmental PredicTion SystemsCore project: to improve forecasting using coupled global atmosphere (GEM)+ocean (OPA) + ice with data assimilation
DFO ocean modelling coordination, new virtual center of excellence COMDA--Center for Ocean Model Development and ApplicationDevelop an ice-ocean modelling capacity for global, basins and shelf oceans; Link to DFO observation programs to derive datasets for model validation

Lateral Open Boundary Condition
Flather’s condition for barotropic flow normal to the boundary:
Restoring T-S to prescribed values (e.g., taken from large-scale model or observed climatology) within a few grids near the boundary
Turn off advection of T-S within a few grids near the boundary

Plans (DFO and Partners) Shelf models: 1/12-deg resolution NW Atlantic; operational (e.g. C-NOOFS); ecosystem Basin models:1/4-deg resolution for N Atlantic, N Pacific and Arctic; data assimilation; CICE-OPA coupling; CICE-LIM inter-comparison; validation Global model: “ORCA1”: assess model drift for longer (~50 year) run; test sensitivity to surface forcing; introduce inter-annually varying forcing; validationORCA025Couple OPA to NWP model (GEM)
