Prediction of the Ocean: Physics, Biogeochemistry, Ecosystems, and Applications

Session ID#: 259658

Session Description:
Predicting oceanic variations is vital for understanding climate dynamics, managing marine resources, and addressing changes in ocean ecosystems. Advances in data assimilation and initialized Earth system predictions - on subseasonal to decadal timescales - have opened new opportunities for exploring the predictability and constraining future projections of ocean physical and biogeochemical processes. These advancements, alongside emerging applications of machine learning and explainable statistical approaches, provide powerful tools for skillful predictions. In this session, we welcome presentations that highlight recent advances in predicting ocean physical, biogeochemical, and/or ecological processes and extremes, as well as studies that improve our understanding of the drivers of variability and sources of predictability. Research that leverages novel statistical, dynamical, and/or hybrid approaches, involving Earth system models and/or data-driven frameworks, to make ocean predictions on any spatial scale is especially encouraged. Additionally, we seek work that demonstrates the value of ocean predictions in support of marine resource management, including co-designed forecast systems, regional applications, and end-user engagement. Submissions highlighting interdisciplinary efforts to connect ocean physical, biogeochemical, and ecological predictions and projections with climate variability and extremes are especially welcome.
