+For the first, SEABASS has been tested with various DA systems, from different methodological families (both probabilistic and variational method). It gives to DA developers the opportunity to compare the results of their own systems with those previous experiments.

+== Technical Description
 
+SEABASS is an idealized configuration similar to the GYRE configuration, representing double gyres circulation, at mid-latitudes in the north hemisphere. Its principal characteristics are:
+- A non-rotated spheric grid, with a regular grid-spacing (between 24 and 44°N and 60°W and 30°W)
+- 11 vertical levels
+- Biharmonic viscosity and diffusion
+- Salinity is forced to 35.5 PSU
+- The only forcing is an analytical stationary zonal wind
 
-== Technical Description == 
+By default, the horizontal resolution of SEABASS is 1/4°. But, the horizontal resolution can be easily changed in modifying the `jp_cfg` variable in the `OPA_SRC/par_SEABASS.h90` file, before compilation.
