Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE)

The vision of GODAE is for ...

"A global system of observations, communications, modeling and assimilation, that will deliver regular, comprehensive information on the state of the oceans, in a way that will promote and engender wide utility and availability of this resource for maximum benefit to the community."

... with the following specific objectives ...

  1. Apply state-of-the art ocean models and assimilation methods to produce short-range open-ocean forecasts, boundary conditions to extend predictability of coastal and regional subsystems, and initial conditions for climate forecast models.
  2. Provide global ocean analyses for developing improved understanding of the oceans, improved assessments of the predictability of ocean variability, and as a basis for improving the design and effectiveness of a global ocean observing system.
