| National Virtual Ocean Data System (NVODS) |
| The National Virtual Ocean Data System (NVODS) is a framework
for the distribution and analysis of oceanographic (and other)
data from researchers and other data providers to intermediate
and end users, including other researchers, government and
commercial managers and planners, educators, students at all
levels, and the general public. |

OCEAN PROJECTS/MODELS 
Collaberative ocean projects:
|
ARGO
|
| Argo is a global array of 3,000 free-drifting
profiling floats that will measure the temperature
and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the ocean.
This will allow continuous monitoring of the
climate state of the ocean, with all data being
relayed and made publicly available within hours
after collection. |

| HYCOM |
| HYBRID COORDINATE OCEAN MODEL: The HYCOM consortium
is a multi-institutional effort funded by the
National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) to
develop and evaluate a data-assimilative hybrid
isopycnal-sigma-pressure (generalized) coordinate
ocean model (called HYbrid Coordinate Ocean
Model or HYCOM). |

| ECCO |
|
Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean:
a multi-institutional consortium between MIT, JPL and
SIO, funded by the National Ocean Partnership
program, to bring ocean state estimation into a
operational tool for studying large-scale ocean
dynamics, designing observational strategies, and
examining he ocean's role in climate variability.

| Halo is a nonprofit organization conducting
research and development in the field of ocean
and atmospheric sciences. The name Halo
refers to the icelandic words for ocean and
atmosphere. |

|
International Pacific Research Center: A
climate research center conceived under the
U.S.-Japan Common Agenda for Cooperation in
Global Perspective, focused on climate variation
and predictability in the Asia-Pacific region,
including regional aspects of global environmental change.
The Asian Pacific Data Research Center is the data archive
and serving center for IPRC.

MERCATOR Ocean Bulletin
|
| The French MERCATOR project generates on an
operational basis weekly ocean bulletins which
bring us a continuous three dimensional picture
of the ocean and offer forecasts for the next
two weeks, based on archive and real-time data
(ocean-observing satellites like TOPEX/POSEIDON,
ERS and Jason and ENVISAT, in situ ocean measurements
thanks to CORIOLIS). |

|
| Met Office |
| FOAM produces real-time analyses and forecasts
of the temperature, salinity and currents of
the deep ocean for up to five days ahead for
the Royal Navy. FOAM is built around a physically
based ocean model. It is driven by surface fluxes
from The Met. Office weather forecast system
and uses measurements of ocean temperature that
are available in near real-time to keep the
model close to reality. A global version of
FOAM with one-degree horizontal resolution and
20 levels in the vertical has been run every
day in the operational suite at The Met. Office
since October 1997. |
| http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/science/creating/daysahead/ocean/ |
| The Met Office Hadley Centre observations datasets links at ENSEMBLES (EN3):
quality controlled in situ ocean temperature and salinity profiles provide the
details on the quality control and the file format available for the
GODAE QC intercomparison project. Each file contains one days worth of and is
called: profile.obs.yymmdd.nc |

| The ESODAE project |
| The ESODAE project is a collaboration between
a number of European organizations, interested
in the development of models to analyze and
forecast the oceans of the North West European
shelf, with a particular interest in the use
of data assimilation techniques. The project
is being carried out within the framework of
the Marine Science and Technology Program
(MAST-III), funded by the European Union, and
presently takes the form of a Concerted Action,
representing Phase 1, with the actual experiment
being realized in future phases. The present
objective is that some of these future phases
will run in conjunction with the Global Ocean
Data Assimilation Experiment, GODAE. |

| NRL Modeling |
| This site contains real-time nowcast/forecast
results from the 1/16� global Naval Research
Lab (NRL) Layered Ocean Model (NLOM), including
snapshots, animations and forecast verification
statistics for many zoom regions, mainly SSH,
SST and surface currents. It also contains direct
model-data comparisons. In addition this site
contains the 1/8� global Modular Ocean Data
Assimilation (MODAS) sea surface height (SSH)
and sea surface temperature (SST) analyses,
again with snapshots and animations for many
zoom regions, plus a direct look at the real-time
altimeter data available. |

| DIADEM |
| The Web page presents results from an ongoing
ocean forecasting and -monitoring experiment
in the North Atlantic. The DIADEM forecasting
system, which runs in nearly real time, relies
on integrated use of satellite observations
of physical and biological variables. A high
resolution version of the Miami Isopycnic Coordinate
Ocean Model (MICOM) is applied with three different
data assimilation techniques which weekly assimilate
satellite observed Sea Level Anomalies (SLA)
from T/P-ERS2 and Reynolds Sea Surface Temperature
(SST) data. |
