NRT product aggregated time series: 2 years-3 months  ongoing weekly update of aggregated with assimilative hindcast prodcuts and 6 days “temporary” update withnon assimilative hindcast (GLO, ARC,MED) continuos daily update with non assimilative hindcast or assimilative hindcast (BAL, NWS,IBI and BS)

12. Hindcast NRT production GLO_PHYS: 15-day assimilative hindcast once a week, 24hr hindcast all the other 6 days of the week from FC as MFS GLO_BIO: 7 days hindcast once a week (2-3 weeks delay with RT) ARC_PHYS&BIO: 7-day assimilative hindcast once a week, 24hr hindcast all the other 6 days of the week MED_PHYS: 15-day assimialtive hindcast once a week, 24hr hindcast all the other 6 days of the week BAL_PHYs&BIO: 12 hr with best weather prediction (6hr res.) and you update the porduct 12hr + 60 hr fcst NWS_PHYS&BIO: 24hr assimilative hindcast everyday IBI: hindcast 24hr?

15. Conclusion Good level of harmonization among the different MFC’s system implementation products Continuos effort to share as much as possible Submission of a common paper? Thanks to all the MFC’s leader for their contribution and collaboration Thanks to Laurence Crosnier for her support for the retrivineg and “interpretation” of the MyO relevant documents.
