Short summary
The study presents a weakly coupled atmosphere–ocean data assimilation system that uses coupled atmosphere–ocean–ice short-term forecasts as background states for atmospheric and ocean systems that independently compute atmospheric and ocean analyses. This system leads to better agreement between the coupled atmosphere–ocean analyses and coupled forecasts that have been used operationally for the last year.
