The ocean modelling community has been in the forefront when it comes to developing advanced data assimilation systems and taking these into use in real applications. This chapter will briefly present one such system, named TOPAZ, forming the North Atlantic and Arctic component of the European “MERSEA” integrated system, and being one of the contributors to the international Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE). The system is based on the latest scientific developments in terms of ocean modelling with the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) and data assimilation with the EnKF.
