Mercator and Science
Initiate's trail
The operational forecasting systems developed by Mercator Ocean are based on ocean models described by primitive equations, which assimilate in real time ocean measurements from satellite and in situ observation systems. There are five main functions used for operational numerical forecasting at Mercator Ocean: observation, modelling, assimilation which are the 3 components of systems plus operation systems and validation or quality control.

Mercator Ocean also uses research data from the principal investigators of the Mercator Coriolis mission group. You will find all subjects and study results on the GMMC pages (sorry, mainly in French).
