Implementation of position assimilation for ARGO floats in a realistic Mediterranean Sea OPA model and twin experiment testing

In this paper, a Lagrangian assimilation method is presented and implemented in a realistic OPA OGCM with the goal of providing an assessment of the assimilation of realistic Argo float position data. We focus on an application in the Mediterranean Sea, where in the framework of the MFSTEP project a...
