Over the past decade the significant advances in real-time ocean
observing systems, ocean modelling, ocean data assimilation and
super-computing has seen the development and implementation of
operational ocean forecast systemsof the global ocean. At the
conclusion of the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE)
in 2008 ocean analysis andforecasting services were being supported
by 12 international centres.
This book is about ocean forecasting - a maturing field which
remains an active area of research, and includes such topics as
ocean predictability, observing system design, high resolution
ocean modelling and ocean data assimilation. It presents the
introduction to ocean forecasting which provides a foundation for
new opportunities in areas of coupled bio-geochemical forecasting
and coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean forecasting. The book describesan
updated account ofresearch and development to improve forecast
systems, determining how best to service the marine user community
with forecast information as well as demonstrating impact to their
applications. It also discusses operational centresthat are now
supporting a range of real-time ocean services including online
graphical and data products for their user communities and their
feedback on the quality of information.
The contents of this book are aimed at early career scientists
and professionals with an interest in operational oceanography and
related ocean science. There are excellent opportunities for
exciting careers in the emerging field of operational oceanography
in order to address current and future challenges as well as
provide the supporting services to a rapidly growing user
community.
