Basin-scale Ocean Prediction System

Abstract

An eddy-resolving nowcast/forecast system for the North Pacific basin using the 1/16 degree Pacific basin NRL Layered Ocean Model (NLOM). This system will include assimilation of satellite altimetry into the eddy-resolving NLOM which will provide the accurate sea surface height fields to produce 3-D volumes of temperature, salinity, and sound speed using the synthetic data bases of MODAS 2.0.
