Innovating Ocean Observing for Earth System Prediction and Societal Benefit
Innovating Ocean Observing for Earth System Prediction and Societal Benefit
Session ID#: 254592
Session Description:
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and operational centers are elevating the role of oceans within Earth System prediction with the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) at the heart of this effort. In situ ocean data, especially subsurface observations are essential to forecast skill across weather and climate timescales. Yet, vast areas of the ocean, particularly coastal and shelf seas, where most human activity occurs, remain critically under-observed.
Recent advances in ocean observing platforms, such as fishing vessels, gliders, and SMART cables, drifting buoys and Argo floats offer adaptive cost-effective solutions. However, challenges remain in integrating these data into global systems, ensuring quality, and securing sustainable funding. WMO and GOOS advocate for national ocean observing infrastructure and greater collaboration
with industry to bridge funding gaps and align observing efforts with societal benefits, exemplified by the CoastPredict program.
This session invites abstracts showcasing innovations in ocean observing technologies, integration into forecasting systems, and applications that deliver societal benefit. We welcome submissions that explore high-density data assimilation, the impacts of ocean observations on weather forecasts, co-design approaches, and new public-private models for sustained ocean observing.
From improving predictions to supporting sustainable development, your insights will help shape the next frontier of ocean observing.
