MITgcm-BFM model simulation versus satellite observations (Sentinel-3). Time series of surface chlorophyll (±1 standard deviation) from satellite (green) and model (black) - upper plots. Statistics of bias and root mean square difference (RMS) are computed daily for the first day of forecast - central plots. Number of points in each L3 satellite image - lower plots. Areas shallower and deeper than 20 meters are defined as COAST (left column) and OPEN SEA (central column), respectively. The results for the WHOLE BASIN are plotted on the right column.
