A Real Time Ocean Forecast System for the North Atlantic Ocean
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Real Time Ocean Forecast System (RTOFS) for the North Atlantic is an ocean forecast system based on the HYbrid coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). HYCOM is the result of a collaborative effort between the University of Miami, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), as part of a multi-institutional HYCOM Consortium for Data-Assimilative Ocean Modeling funded by the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) to develop and evaluate a data-assimilative hybrid isopycnal-sigma-pressure (generalized) coordinate ocean model. This paper describes the RTOFS-Atlantic, an operational real time ocean nowcast/forecast system for the North Atlantic running daily at National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).

This study aims at improving the forecast skill of climate predictions through the use of ocean synthesis data as initial conditions of a coupled climate model. For this purpose, the coupled model of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, consisting of the atmosphere model ECHAM5 and the ocean model MPI-OM, is initialized with oceanic synthesis fields available from the German contribution t...
متن کاملForecast cooling of the Atlantic subpolar gyre and associated impacts
Decadal variability in the North Atlantic and its subpolar gyre (SPG) has been shown to be predictable in climate models initialized with the concurrent ocean state. Numerous impacts over ocean and land have also been identified. Here we use three versions of the Met Office Decadal Prediction System to provide a multimodel ensemble forecast of the SPG and related impacts. The recent cooling tre...
متن کاملCombining measurements and models for real-time tsunami forecast
Since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the most destructive tsunami in recorded history, worldwide awareness of tsunami hazard has peaked and global expansion of tsunami forecasting tools has made dramatic progress in both instruments and technology. Two of the most seminal advances in tsunami forecast since the Indian Ocean tsunami are: 1) the deployment of an extensive network of sensors to acq...
