Development of the Operational Oceanography Forecasting System in the Northwest Pacific

Abstract

Abstract An operational oceanography forecasting system is established on the base of ROMS and data assimilation method to provide operational predictions and maritime safety applications for the Northwest Pacific. After 10 years spun up through integration, the system reaches a stable field of annual circulation. The model was then integrated from 1990 to 2012 to obtain the assimilation background. After the evaluation of observation data, the ocean forecasting system has been put into operation since 2013 and has been updated for several times. Through the validation of 2018, the system can accurately simulate the main marine environmental characteristics of the northwest pacific. The system can provide high-resolution marine environment fields for red tide, green tide drift and diffusion, oil spill, marine fishery, marine resources development, marine search and rescue, etc.
