2.3: Capturing global/basin scale ocean variations through observation and data assimilation
| Theme 2 – Splinter 3 | Abstracts of session 2.3 | Chaired by Yosuke Fujii and Katy Hill |
This splinter session focuses on ocean observing systems targetting oceanic phenomena which affect global/basin scale oceanic/climate variations, such as El Ninos and the western boundary current systems. Results of evaluating the impacts of those observing systems in ocean predictions and efforts on seeking the optimal design of those observing systems are also introduced.

3.3: Biogeochemical and ecological applications
| Theme 3 – Splinter 3 | Abstracts of session 3.3 | Chaired by Youyu Lu |
The overarching goal of the Theme 3 session is to bring forward the latest developments in ocean modeling and forecasting from a combined physical and biogeochemical perspective. The first two splinter sessions emphasize ocean, atmosphere, and ice forecasts and nowcasts. The third session focuses on biogeochemical and ecological applications. The fourth deals with the latest advances in sea ice modeling and prediction. Finally, the last session emphasizes the small scales.

4.1: Variational, ensemble and hybrid methods in ocean data assimilation I
| Theme 4 – Splinter 1 |
Abstracts of session 4.1 | Chaired by Pierre de Mey-Fremaux and Lars Nerger |
Data assimilation methods can be broadly split into two types: variational and ensemble. Recently aspects of the two approaches have been combined in hybrid ensemble/variational methods. These first two splinter sessions cover applications of these various approaches in ocean data assimilation systems.

5.3: Global and Regional Prediction Systems I
| Theme 5 – Splinter 3 | Abstracts of session 5.3 | Chaired by Ana Aguiar and Greg Smith |
This is one of three consecutive sessions showcasing global and regional prediction systems being developed or run operationally. This will include system descriptions, latest developments in the use of observations, and the practical considerations of running increasingly complicated operational systems so as to produce model outputs which are useful to users in a timely manner. The first of these sessions has an emphasis on coupled atmosphere-ocean-ice modelling systems and global ocean-only forecasting systems.
