NCEP Global Ocean
Data Assimilation System (GODAS)
 
GODAS depends on continuous real-time data from the Global Ocean Observing System. This project is to deliver routine ocean monitoring products, and is being implemented by CPC in cooperation with NOAA's Office of Climate Observation (OCO).

  • Monthly Ocean Briefing

    Around the 7-8th day of each month, the CPC makes a monthly assessment of how the state of the global ocean evolved recently; what was the interaction with the atmosphere; and how model predictions verified. This assessment is disseminated using a PPT presentation and conference call. Contact Yan Xue for details on conference call.

    Annual Ocean Review

    The CPC's "Monthly Ocean Briefing" around the 6-8th day of February is designated to provide an "Annual Ocean Review" for the past year. The ocean briefing PPT contains 1) seasonal and yearly mean anomalies, 2) atmospheric responses to SST anomalies shown in AMIP simulations, 3) yearly indices to put the recent conditions in a historical perspective, and 4) discussions of special features in the past two years. The ocean briefing is similar to the regular "Monthly Ocean Briefing" except their differences in contents.
