Abstract

A multiplatform assessment of the Ocean-Atmosphere Spectral Irradiance Model (OASIM) radiative model focussed on the Mediterranean Sea for the period 2004-2017 is presented. The BOUée pour l'acquiSition d'une Série Optique à Long termE (BOUSSOLE) mooring and biogeochemical Argo (BGC-Argo) float optical sensor observations are combined with model outputs to analyse the spatial and temporal variabilities in the downward planar irradiance at the ocean-atmosphere interface. The correlations between the data and model are always higher than 0.6. With the exception of downward photosynthetic active radiation and the 670 nm channel, correlation values are always higher than 0.8 and, when removing the inter-daily variability, they are higher than 0.9. At the scale of the BOUSSOLE sampling (15 min temporal resolution), the root mean square difference oscillates at approximately 30 %-40 % of the averaged model output and is reduced to approximately 10 % when the variability between days is filte...
