METOC Data Assimilation and Mod
Abstract
The Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) Data Assimilation Project is a multi-faceted project that provides future mission capabilities for warfighters to characterize the physical environment within their battlespace. This project includes: 1) development, demonstration and validation of software associated with atmospheric and oceanographic data assimilation forecast models and database management systems for use in both mainframe and tactical scale computers; 2) software models,focused on ocean thermal structure and circulation, and surf and tide prediction; 3) software to process and manage satellite remotely-sensed environmental data at Oceanography Centers ashore and on ships equipped with the AN/SMQ-11 satellite receiver/recorder; 4) future METOC and environmental satellite data readiness and risk reduction preparations to develop hardware and software that will allow ground stations to receive, ingest and exploit satellite data, and, 5) a family of acoustic system performance models beginning with active system models and databases in the low-, mid-, and high-frequency regimes and culminating with high fidelity simulation products. As weapons and sensors become more sophisticated and complex, the marine environment has an increasingly significant impact on system performance. Operational limitations induced by the ocean and atmosphere must be understood, and the resulting constraints on mission effectiveness and system employment minimized. Hence, the operating forces require more accurate worldwide forecasts of METOC conditions with increased temporal and spatial resolution. An additional challenge is posed by the emergence of new satellite sensor data. In order to fully exploit this dynamic and massive volume of data, modern Data Base Management Systems are required, and must be tailored for individual computer configurations at both Navy Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC), Monterey, CA and Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVO), Stennis Space Center, MS. Improved representation of smaller-scale phenomena, particularly in the littoral, is also an important consideration.
