Short summary

Data assimilation is the most comprehensive strategy to estimate the biogeochemical state of the ocean. Here, surface Chl a data are daily assimilated into a 24-member NEMO–PISCES ensemble configuration to implement a complete 4D assimilation system. Results show the assimilation increases the skills of the ensemble, though a regional diagnosis suggests that the description of model and observation uncertainties needs to be refined according to the biogeochemical characteristics of each region.
