MSEAS Forecasts

• MSEAS Deterministic Ocean Forecasts

 

 

• Methods and Systems: The probabilistic MIT-MSEAS Primitive-Equation (PE) ocean modeling system is utilized in real-time to provide ocean forecasts for Lagrangian transport and analyses in the region. The modeling system was set-up in an implicit 2-way nesting configuration (2/300° resolution Balearic Sea domain and 2/900° resolution process domains). The ocean forecasts are initialized from either HYCOM or WMOP or CMEMS, downscaled to higher resolution and updated with ocean data from varied open sources of opportunity (CTDs, ARGO floats, gliders, SST [AVHRR-METOP satellite data from OSI SAF], etc.). Ensemble forecasts are initialized using ESSE procedures. These ocean simulations are forced by atmospheric flux fields forecast by the Global Forecast System (GFS) 0.25° model from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and by tidal forcing from TPXO8, but adapted to the high-resolution bathymetry and coastlines.

• Acknowledgements: We thank our CALYPSO colleagues for their inputs and collaboration. We especially thank Baptiste Mourre and the SOCIB team for the WMOP model fields and data. We also thank Uwe Send for his mooring data, and Tamay Özgökmen and Pierre Poulain for their drifter data. We also thank Emanuela Clementi, the Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC), and Nadia Pinardi for the CMEMS data in the Mediterranean. We also wish to thank Matthew Pyle, Eric Rogers, Geoff DiMego, and Arun Chawla of NCEP for help and support for atmospheric forcing data.
