Global Ocean Prediction System

Abstract

An eddy-resolving nowcast/forecast system for the global ocean with embedded basin-scale systems (1/16 deg Pacific north of 20 deg S and 1/32 deg Atlantic subtropical gyre, 9 deg- 51 deg N, which includes the Intra-Americas Sea) and a global model with progressively increasing resolution, 1/4 deg, 1/8 deg and ultimately 1/32 deg resolution. These systems will include data assimilation of satellite altimetry, sea surface temperature and in-situ data.
