From satellite altimetry to Argo and operational oceanography: three revolutions in oceanography [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2013 Abstract. The launch of the US/French mission Topex/Poseidon (T/P) (CNES/NASA) in August 1992 was the start of a revolution in oceanography. For the first time, a very precise altimeter system optimized for large scale sea level and ocean circulation observations was flying. T/P alone could not observe the mesoscale circulation.

Development of a forecast-oriented kilometre-resolution ocean–atmosphere coupled system for western Europe and sensitivity study for a severe weather situation [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 To improve high-resolution numerical environmental prediction, it is essential to represent ocean–atmosphere interactions properly, which is not the case in current operational regional forecasting systems used in western Europe.

A Global-Ocean-Data Assimilation for Operational Oceanography
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 In this study, a global-ocean-data-assimilation system based on the three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) scheme is built for operational oceanography. The available observations include satellite altimetry; the satellite-measured sea-surface temperature
