The resulting data are saved in a ``feedback'' file (or 19 21 files). The code was originally developed for use with the NEMOVAR data assimilation code, but 20 can be used for validation or verification of model orany other data assimilation system.21 22 The OBS code is called from \mdl{nemogcm .F90} for model initialisation and to calculate the model22 can be used for validation or verification of the model or with any other data assimilation system. 23 24 The OBS code is called from \mdl{nemogcm} for model initialisation and to calculate the model 23 25 equivalent values for observations on the 0th timestep. The code is then called again after 24 each timestep from \mdl{step .F90}. To build with the OBS code active \key{diaobs} must be25 set.26 each timestep from \mdl{step}. The code is only activated if the namelist logical \np{ln\_diaobs} 27 is set to true. 26 28 27 29 For all data types a 2D horizontal interpolator is needed to interpolate the model fields to … … 29 31 addition to provide model fields at the observation depths. Currently this only works in 30 32 z-level model configurations, but is being developed to work with a generalised vertical 31 coordinate system. Temperature data from moored buoys (TAO, TRITON, PIRATA) in the 32 ENACT/ENSEMBLES data-base are available as daily averaged quantities. For this type of 33 observation the observation operator will compare such observations to the model temperature 34 fields averaged over one day. The relevant observation type may be specified in the namelist 35 using \np{endailyavtypes}. Otherwise the model value from the nearest timestep to the 33 coordinate system. 34 35 Some profile observation types (e.g. tropical moored buoys) are made available as daily averaged quantities. 36 The observation operator code can be set-up to calculated the equivalent daily average model temperature fields 37 using the \np{nn\_profdavtypes} namelist array. Some SST observations are equivalent to a night-time 38 average value and the observation operator code can calculate equivalent night-time average model SST fields by 39 setting the namelist value \np{ln\_sstnight} to true. Otherwise the model value from the nearest timestep to the 36 40 observation time is used. 37 41 38 42 The code is controlled by the namelist \textit{nam\_obs}. See the following sections for more 39 details on setting up the namelist. 43 details on setting up the namelist. 40 44 41 45 Section~\ref{OBS_example} introduces a test example of the observation operator code including … … 59 63 60 64 \begin{enumerate} 61 \item Compile NEMO with \key{diaobs} set.62 63 \item Download some EN SEMBLES EN3data from64 \href{http://www. hadobs.org}{http://www.hadobs.org}.

The model grid points for a 92 profile observation operator code. The filename or array of filenames are 93 specified using the \np{cn\_profbfiles} variable. The model grid points for a 82 94 particular observation latitude and longitude are found using the grid 83 95 searching part of the code. This can be expensive, particularly for large … … 92 104 A number of utilities are now provided to plot the feedback files, convert and 93 105 recombine the files.
