Development of a Regional Coastal and Open Ocean Forecast System

Abstract

The long term goal is to construct, verify and demonstrate an efficient system for the realistic, accurate and efficient estimation of oceanic fields which can be deployed rapidly in any region of the world ocean: the coastal and shelf ocean, across the shelfbreak and the open ocean. The objectives of this research are: i) to continue the development of a relocatable, portable and efficient ocean prediction system for realtime forecasting and interdisciplinary research; ii) to demonstrate and validate HOPS in realtime exercises at sea and on land; iii) to implement regional forecast system methodologies; and, iv) to share software with the modeling and operational community.
