Basin-Scale Ocean Prediction System

Abstract

An eddy-resolving nowcast/forecast system for the global ocean with embedded basin-scale systems (1/32 Atlantic subtropical gyre, 9 -51 N, which includes the Intra-Americas Sea) and a global model with progressively increasing resolution, 1/16 in 2001 and ultimately 1/32 resolution. These systems will include data assimilation of satellite altimetry, sea surface temperature and in-situ data.
