The NEC flows westward stably from the sea surface down to 500 m and is strongest with the magnitude of approximately 40 cm/s in January 2016, while in several months, the eastward current occurs and attains the maximum of nearly 15 cm/s in April and September 2015. Beneath the NEC, the eastward NEUC is observed and its depth could reach at least 860 m. The Power Spectral Density function reveals surface-intensified signals of the currents at mooring site, and the period in the upper layer is around 30–155 days. AVISO products accurately describe the variability of the NEC and are consistent with the mooring observations. Further analysis with sea level anomaly data suggests that the mesoscale eddies, which move westward, may influence the intraseasonal variability measured by the mooring. A comparison of the results with other mooring observations at 130°E implies the phenomenon of western intensification and the existence of NEUC jets at different longitudes that they are not observed at 130°E, 15.5°N.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"1 1","pages":"142 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87440512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High resolution wind wave data sets are used to investigate trends and variability of the characteristics of extreme storm waves. Two different methodologies (Eulerian and Lagrangean) are applied to 30 years of wave hindcast from 1987 to 2016, over the Black Sea to identify extreme storm waves and also to assess the extreme wave climate. Using the Eulerian methodology, it is observed that extreme storm waves are seasonal, being more frequent during the winter and almost non-existent during the summer. Also, that some areas, as the south-eastern region of the Black Sea more prone to storm generation, in particular, during winter and autumn. For the seven locations near the coast, a considerable inter-annual variability is found in extreme values, but not so much in the mean. Statistical significance in trend adjustment was only found in two locations in the north-western coast, for extreme values. Using a Lagrangean methodology, an inter-annual variability in all storm characteristics that is found, more marked in the annual number of wave storms, maximum area affected by storm waves and maximum length, and less marked for maximum Hs in the storm waves and storm lifetime.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"48 1","pages":"114 - 128"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77501112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper provides an end-to-end description of these SAMOA systems that are based on high-resolution ROMS model applications. The SAMOA systems are CMEMS downstream services, being the coastal models nested into the regional IBI forecast solution. At the surface, SAMOA systems use as forcing daily updated hourly winds and heat and water fluxes from the Spanish Meteorological Agency forecast services. Highlights from the scientific pre-operational model evaluation phase and the multi-parametric validation are shown, illustrating agreements between SAMOA products and in-situ and remoted sensed observations.

These analyses and predictions form the basis for information services about the marine environment and its ecosystem, and can provide boundary data for weather predictions. Bluelink information services are available to marine industries (e.g. commercial fishing, aquaculture, shipping, oil and gas, renewable energy), government agencies (e.g. search and rescue, defence, coastal management, environmental protection), and other stakeholders (e.g. recreation, water sports, artisanal and sport fishing) who depend on timely and accurate information about the marine environment. This review highlights the last 15 years of Bluelink achievements delivering mesoscale (eddy-resolving) to sub-mesoscale and short- to medium-range (days to weeks) ocean forecasts and reanalyses. Key achievements include the development of a global ocean forecasting and reanalysis system, a relocatable ocean-atmosphere model and a littoral zone analysis and forecasting capability. Beyond the traditional short-term forecasting of physical ocean properties (temperature, salinity, surface height, currents, waves), marine activities such as water quality and habitat management as well as climate monitoring increasingly rely on operational oceanographic data and products. These are areas of active research of the Bluelink team in collaboration with national and international partners.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"77 1","pages":"1 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89912380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emphasis is placed on the space and time scales of important exchange processes such as frontal meandering and warm core ring interactions with the Shelfbreak Front, the dominant sources of variability in the region. The three major components of the Pioneer Array are then described, including preliminary data from the underwater gliders and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) deployments. The relevance of the Pioneer Array to important recent scientific issues in the area, including enhanced warming of the continental shelf and increasing frequency and spatial extent of Gulf Stream interactions with the continental shelf is discussed. Finally, similar observatories in Asia are briefly described, and general conclusions regarding principles that should guide the design of shelfbreak observatories in other geographic regions are presented.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"48 1","pages":"19 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79932096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison with coastal wave buoy observations showed that the models agreed on the significant wave height, with biases and root-mean-square-errors (RMSE) differing at most 0.06 m. In a general sense, WAM propagated most long wave energy into the archipelago, while SWAN generated the highest local waves. The performance of WAVEWATCH III was wind direction dependent. The model tendencies caused them to disagree on the peak period near the coast, with differences in mean values being up to 1.4 s. The large scatter (RMSE>2 s) inside the archipelago was mostly explained by the ill-defined nature of the parameter in more complex wave conditions. The mean period had less scatter (RMSE<1.5 s), but changes in the upper integration frequency from 0.6 Hz to 1 Hz affected the bias by roughly 1 s in all models. WAM and WAVEWATCH III underestimated the high-frequency wave energy for certain wind directions, possibly because of a too small friction velocity. A wind forcing taken every 3 h from a 7.4 km operational atmospheric model was found to be sufficient to force the high-resolution wave models.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"13 558 1","pages":"55 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75346955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The network also measures other oceanographic parameters in addition to water levels, including meteorological parameters. Although initially established to support navigation, NWLON is a ‘go to’ source for data and products to support coastal community decision making. Real-time water level information available 24/7 is critical to emergency managers and planners monitoring changing water levels and contributes to NOAA’s forecast model for tsunami and storm surge warnings. This article also discusses the role of NWLON in terms of addressing emerging observational needs around emergency management, tracking changes in sea level rise through persistent changes in high tide flooding, establishing new regional sea level scenarios and projections, and restoring tidally influenced habitats. Sea level trends have been computed at 142 water level stations using a minimum span of 30 years of observations at each location.

Later, it intensified into a cyclonic storm on 8 October and eventually made landfall at Visakhapatnam on 12 October as a very severe cyclonic storm. It was intensified off of Visakhapatnam by high stratified waters with a thick barrier layer that held significant heat content. In this study, we analysed the data along the cyclone track using a combination of satellite, in-situ Argo and Bio-Argo data to assess the upper oceanic changes along the Hudhud track. Notable changes were detected in the upper ocean due to its extreme intensification and prior passage through cold-core eddies. A high translation speed and persistent stratification dominated the effects caused by the cold-core eddies on the intensification of the cyclone and the same was attributed to the upwelled subsurface chlorophyll maxima. The biophysical changes in the top 150 m layer derived from Argo floats were in good agreement with the satellite and model data. Further, it was observed that the increase in lightning flash rates also influenced surface productivity during the cyclone. Subsequent to the passage of the cyclone, the ocean took two weeks to achieve its original state.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"72 1","pages":"87 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2019-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79541545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Model performance is evaluated based on several error metrics. Drift models based on extrapolated surface currents reduce separation distances relative to the control model by 25% (model B), 31% (model C) and 35% (model D) on average, for lead times from 3 h to 72 h.
