GANES Objectives:

Primary
To apply the techniques of ocean data assimilation to Earth Observation (EO) data and thereby to improve the ability to model and forecast currents and water properties in European coastal and shelf sea regions.

Secondary

To produce a temporally varying analysis from 1993-97 of ocean currents and water properties on a global scale using EO data, and to make these data accessible in an archive.

To apply model nesting techniques to allow European coastal and shelf sea models to utilize the archived data sets as boundary conditions and thereby to improve prediction of coastal flows.

To encourage the wider use of EO data by the shelf sea modelling community by transferring data assimilation techniques from the open ocean modelling community.
