Fig.ll.1 Fig. Il.la shows the melded estimate of forecast temperature from a real time
multi-disciplinary forecast for the Gulf of Cadiz and Strait of Gibraltar with data
assimilation, Fig. Il.l b shows the melded estimate of forecast chlorophyll with data
assimilatiou, Fig. Il.l c maps the forecasted error associated with the estimated field of Fig.
ll.l a carried out by ESSE methodology (Lermusiaux aud Robiusou, 1999; Lermusiaux,
1999), Fig. ll.ld depicts the sampling track adaptively desigued from the forecast aud
forecast errors, Fig. ll.le portrays a remotely seused sea surf ace temperature field, aud Fig.
Il.lf illustrates a remotely sensed (SeaWiFS) chlorophyll field. The data from Il.le and
11 .1 f were both assimilated iuto the multi- discipliuary real time forecast fields (Figs. 11.1 a,
b, c). Figs. 11.1 a, b, c, d were displayed ou the RR97 exercise web site.
