Coastal Atmospheric-Oceanic Coupled System (CAOCS) for the South China Sea (SCS)-A Modeling Component of the International South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX)

Abstract

The main goal is to establish a nowcast system for regional seas, including the South China Sea. This system will have the capability of diagnosing three dimensional velocity, temperature, and salinity fields from satellite and sparse in-situ observations. This system will be easily embedded into the prediction system (e.g., Princeton Ocean Model). The combined nowcast/forecast system will greatly enhance existing operational capability.
