Editorial – July 2011 – The latest space mission : SMOS, GOCE and CRYOSAT
Greengs all,
This month’s newsleer is devoted to the latest space mission and their use in physical oceasnography. A focus is here put on the possible physical oceanography
applicaons of the SMOS, GOCE and CRYOSAT missions.
SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity), launched on November 2, 2009, is the first satellite mission addressing sea surface salinity measurements from space. Realis-
c salinity maps have been obtained and preliminary validaon tests against in situ data indicate that the SMOS team is approaching its goals. SMOS will be a milestone
in the route for incorporang salinity to operaonal remote sensing.
The GOCE (Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulaon) satellite, first core Earth Explorer mission from ESA’s Living Planet programme, was successfully launched
on March, 17th 2009. One primary objecve of the GOCE mission is to determine the Earth geoid with an accuracy of 1-2 cm for a spaal resoluon of 100 km. This is
an important supplementary step towards the beer esmaon of the ocean Mean Dynamic Topography, a key reference surface for the assimilaon of almetric Sea
Level Anomalies into operaonal ocean forecasng systems.
ESA's CRYOSAT Earth Explorer mission was launched on 8 April 2010. Although its first mission is to provide the first satellite maps of sea-ice thickness, the CRYOSAT
mission is also operang over ocean surfaces providing a new source of valuable almeter measurements. It represents an addional almeter ocean mission complementary
to exisng Envisat, Jason-1 and Jason-2 missions in the operaonal mulmission processing chain of the SSALTO/DUACS system used in MyOcean.
The newsleer is presenng the following scienfic arcles: First, Font et al. present the characteriscs of the SMOS instrument, a summary of the sea surface salinity
retrieval from SMOS observaons and shows inial results obtained one year and a half a>er launch. At present there are sll several issues being addressed by the
SMOS team, mainly related to low level data processing but also to the retrieval of salinity from radiometric measurements, which prevent by now from reaching the
mission objecves in terms of salinity accuracy. However, realisc salinity maps have been obtained and will be presented. Second, Rio and Mulet carry out an independent
validaon of the different GOCE geoid models, in order to assess their accuracy and determine which one is beer suited for oceanographic applicaons and
Mean Dynamic Topography esmaon. Both the impact of the different methodologies used to compute the gravity fields as well as the contribuon of the four
months of supplementary data have been checked. Third, Dorendeu et al. present a dedicated experiment in order to esmate to which extent valuable ocean al-
metric signals can be extracted from CRYOSAT data and how this opportunity mission could be merged with exisng Envi

Editorial – January 2011 – MyOcean Ecosystem Models
Greetings all,
This month’s newsletter is devoted to the MyOcean (http://www.myocean.eu/) numerical ecosystem models. A focus is here put on the Global
Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea as well as on the Arctic Ocean, with the description of products that are already or will be part of
the MyOcean catalogue either in July or December 2011 (http://operation.myocean.eu/web/24-catalogue.php).
Scientific articles are displayed as follows: First, Elmoussaoui et al. are describing the Mercator Ocean Global Ocean multi-nutrient and multiplankton
biogeochemical model PISCES that is embedded in the operational Mercator Ocean physical systems. Two simulations are carried
out in order to evaluate the impacts of physical data assimilation on modeled biogeochemical tracer distributions. Those simulations constitute
preliminary versions of the global ecosystem operational product that will be available in the MyOcean December 2011 catalogue. Then, Teruzzi
et al. are presenting the operational system for short-term forecast of the Mediterranean biogeochemistry implemented in the V0 version of
MyOcean project. Their coupled physical-biogeochemical model OPATM-BFM has been used for the operational simulations over a period
spanning more than 3 years. The third paper by Dorofeev et al. is displaying the Black Sea ecosystem model coupled with the basin dynamics,
improved within the MyOcean project. Long term evolution of the Black Sea ecosystem is studied and a regional bio-optical model is developed
to reproduce the variability of the water transparency based on sea colour observations. Finally, Samuelsen et al. are presenting the Arctic
Ocean ecosystem model that will be available from the MyOcean December 2011 catalogue. It consists of a coupling of the NORWegian
ECOlogical Model (NORWECOM) to the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) in the TOPAZ system. The variables that will be provided
are chlorophyll-a, diffuse attenuation coefficients, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, and oxygen.
The next April 2011 issue will be a special publication with a common newsletter between the Mercator Ocean Forecasting Center in Toulouse
and the Coriolis Infrastructure in Brest, more focused on observations.
We wish you a pleasant reading!
