This study aims to investigate the extended-range predictability of the HYCOM + RODAS System over the western South Atlantic by using its analyses as initial condition for 48 hindcasts, each covering 30 days. The outputs were compared to persistence (no change from the initial condition) and to a model free run. The hindcasts had the lowest root mean square difference (RMSD) and highest correlation of sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level anomaly (SLA) at all lead times. By the 30th day, persistence RMSD reached 1.09°C and 0.08 m for SST and SLA, respectively, while the hindcast RMSD reached 0.46°C and 0.05 m. The free run RMSD was almost constant with an average of 0.88°C and 0.13 m. In the subsurface, hindcast RMSD increase was even lower. The results suggest that HYCOM + RODAS predictive skill extends for more than a month and the thermohaline state of the ocean was consistently improved with respect to the free model run.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"47 1","pages":"13 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2019-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85092735","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 system is also one of the nation’s most biologically diverse, a major spawning and nursery ground for numerous species of fish and shellfish, and home to significant populations of dolphins and manatees. Ocean observing systems can play an integral role in evaluating the effects of both natural (e.g. climate change) and anthropogenic impacts (e.g. nutrient pollution) on such a complex system. In this paper we present an integrated multidisciplinary approach to studying the recurrent large-scale harmful algal bloom (HAB) events that have threatened both the ecological and economic stability of the IRL and represent a significant public health hazard. Due to the complex biological, chemical and physical interactions associated with IRL HABs, the integration of classical observing methodology, such as phytoplankton surveys, with real-time water quality monitoring, innovative technology, and biological sentinels, is essential. The open sharing of data for research, education and public engagement is another key component of our approach. There are multiple stakeholders and end users that rely on these efforts to understand HAB dynamics in a unique marine system.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"16 24","pages":"S187 - S198"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2019-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1755876X.2019.1606879","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72489657","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}

One pertinent example is Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. The aircraft is assumed to have crashed in the Indian Ocean, leaving floating wreckage to drift on the surface. Some of these items were recovered around the western Indian Ocean. We use ocean currents simulated by an operational ocean model in conjunction with surface Stokes drift to determine the possible paths taken by the debris. We consider: (1) How important is the influence of surface waves on the drift? (2) What are the relative benefits of forward- and backward-tracking in time? (3) Does including information from more items refine the most probable crash-site region? Our results highlight a critical contribution of Stokes drift and emphasise the need to know precisely the buoyancy characteristics of the items. The differences between the tracking approaches provide a measure of uncertainty which can be minimised by simulating a sufficiently large number of virtual debris. Given the uncertainties associated with the timings of the debris sightings, we show that at least 5 items are required to achieve an optimal most probable crash-site region. The results have implications for other drift simulation applications.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"9 1","pages":"1 - 12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2019-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88799896","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}

In this paper, the performance of two coupled bio-physical models, having spatial resolutions 1/12° (∼9 km) and 1/4° (∼25 km) configured using Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), have been evaluated in simulating upper ocean dynamics of the Arabian Sea. A comparison of the model simulated physical and biogeochemical fields with the observations from remote sensing, in-situ ship-borne, and Biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) floats showed that the high-resolution model reproduced the ocean physical and biogeochemical dynamics, and their seasonality more efficiently. The upper ocean dynamics associated with the variability of mixed layer depth, persistent occurrence of deep chlorophyll maxima, and seasonal phytoplankton blooms. as well as deep ocean characteristics of oxygen minimum zone were much effectively captured by the high-resolution model than by its counterpart. Similarly, the former model performed very well in reproducing the upwelling dynamics over the eastern continental shelf indicating that the open ocean-coastal coupling has been better established. Our analysis indicates that the realistic representation of the eddy fields by the high-resolution model leads to the better representation of the ocean fields in comparison to the coarse-resolution model.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"1 1","pages":"116 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2019-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91127682","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}

Ten sectors – groups of users with common data needs – were identified, for which SOCIB has information and knowledge of high value. Dedicated products were developed in cooperation with the end-users: beach lifeguards/managers and sustainable marine resources managers.

PFZs are identified as the relatively narrow zones in the ocean where horizontal gradients of physical and/or biological properties are enhanced. The advisories are provided to fishermen on a daily basis using remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) data from NOAA-AVHRR and MODIS-AQUA and/or Oceansat-2 satellites, respectively. Sometimes it becomes a major challenge to retrieve SST/Chl-a data from satellite images, particularly during the extensive cloud coverage. To overcome this operational difficulty, the satellite data is replaced by a coupled physical-biogeochemical model data capable of simulating ocean features leading to PFZs. The use of model data provides an additional advantage towards transforming the existing service from advisories to forecast. The average length of PFZs identified from satellite (model) data (2010–2016) for off Gujarat is 27.80 ± 7.2 km (33.07 ± 3.2 km) whereas for off Andhra Pradesh, it is 28.27 ± 10.9 km (52.48 ± 8.7 km). Considering the capability of the model in identifying PFZs, the existing advisory service can be transitioned into a short term PFZ forecast.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"6 1","pages":"S157 - S175"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2019-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72748856","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}

We present here a new operational oceanographic system, called Tiresias, based on the unstructured grid model SHYFEM and representing the whole Adriatic Sea together with the lagoons of Marano-Grado, Venice and Po Delta. The novelty of this oceanographic system resides in the very high-resolution, up to 10 m, of the numerical mesh, and in the high spatial and temporal resolution of the forcing and boundary conditions that drive the forecasts. The forecast results are evaluated against sea temperature and salinity profiles, mean circulation fields derived from a regional ocean model, tide gauges and drifter trajectory. The presented results highlighted the capacity of Tiresias in forecasting the general circulation in the Adriatic Sea, as well as several relevant coastal dynamics, such as saltwater intrusion, storm surge and riverine waters dispersion.","PeriodicalId":50105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Oceanography","volume":"7 1","pages":"103 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2019-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90778400","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}

Areas of upwelling occurrences were found along almost entire coastline of the Baltic Sea. Main areas were located along Swedish coast in Baltic Proper, Oland and along Finnish coast in the Gulf of Finland, where the event can last up to 30% of the time. Other areas, with frequencies over 20%, include Polish coast, Gotland and Bay of Bothnia.

In addition, the analyses here presented investigate the seasonal patterns of the wave parameters, showing the different responses of the wave field in different sectors of the basin and the responsiveness of HF radars in critical environmental conditions.
