This plot summarizes the assimilation results of test case scenario B. The NRMSD averaged over the ocean is shown for several cases with deviating true OIMF. The References denote the results from the ideal test case. Both results from assimilation without (black) and with (red) the use of an a priori spatial correlation are shown. The corresponding uncertainty resulting from the posterior STD of the scale factor is indicated as well. As a comparison, the imposed NRMSD (deviations between imposed and true OIMF anomalies) are marked in grey. These indicate the best achievable results and are considered a lower limit of possible improvements
