Various developments of advanced data assimilation systems have been made to assimilate satellite observations such as altimetry, sea-surface temperature and ocean colour into high-resolution models of the ocean circulation and marine ecosystems. An ensemble of activities have been carried out, contributing to improve the understanding of assimilation methods with ocean models, and to help in the optimisation of ocean observing systems, in the perspective of developing realistic monitoring and prediction capabilities in an operational context.
