Biomass data assimilation set-up and performances

In the framework of the European Union MFSTEP Project regarding the Mediterranean Forecasting System in the direction of forecasting of the environmental and ecological variables, the Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale - OGS in Trieste has actively cooperated with the CINECA Supercomputing Group in Bologna for determining a coupled hydrodynamical and ecological model in the Mediterranean Sea based upon inorganic and organic nitrogen, and on plankton in the same nitrogen units, moreover for optimising the computing resources and managing the outputs.
