Anewfraternaltwinoceanobservingsystemsimulationexperiment(OSSE)systemisvalidatedinaGulfof Mexico domain. It is the first ocean system that takes full advantage of design criteria and rigorous evaluation procedures developed to validate atmosphere OSSE systems that have not been fully implemented for the ocean. These procedures are necessary to determine a priori that the OSSE system does not overestimate or underestimate observing system impacts. The new system consists of 1) a nature run (NR) stipulated to represent the true ocean, 2) a data assimilation system consisting of a second ocean model (the ‘‘forecast model’’) coupled to a new ocean data assimilation system, and 3) software to simulate observations from the NR and to add realistic errors. The system design is described to illustrate the requirements of a validated OSSE system. The chosen NR reproduces the climatology and variability of ocean phenomena with sufficient realism. Although the same ocean model type is used (the ‘‘fraternal twin’’ approach), the forecast model is configured differently so that it approximately satisfies the requirement that differences (errors) with respect to the NR grow at the same rate as errors that develop between state-of-the-art ocean models and the true ocean. Rigorous evaluation procedures developed for atmospheric OSSEs are then applied by first performingobservingsystemexperiments(OSEs)toevaluateoneormoreexistingobservingsystems.OSSEsare thenperformedthatareidenticalexceptfortheassimilation ofsyntheticobservationssimulatedfromtheNR. Very similar impact assessments were realized between each OSE–OSSE pair, thus validating the system without the need for calibration.
