Intra-Americas Sea Ocean Nowcast/Forecast
Source: Naval Research Laboratory IASNFS. Intra-Americas Sea Ocean Nowcast/Forecast System An experimental real-time Ocean Nowcast/Forecast System (IASNFS) has been developed by the Ocean Dynamics and Prediction Branch for the Intra-Americas Sea of the Oceanography Division- Naval Research Laboratory The area of coverage includes the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida. The system produces nowcast and up to 72 hours forecast the sea level variation, 3D ocean current, temperature and salinity fields. The model continuously assimilates the synthetic temperature/salinity profiles generated by a data analysis model called MODAS to produce nowcast. Real-time data come from satellite altimeter (GFO, Jason-1, ERS-2) sea surface height (global) anomaly and AVHRR sea surface temperature (global).
