The Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) is
a practical demonstration of near-real-time, global
ocean data assimilation that provides, regular, complete
descriptions of the temperature, salinity and velocity structures
of the ocean in support of operational oceanography, seasonal-to-decadal
climate forecasts and analyses, and oceanographic research.
The GODAE Monterey Server, sponsored mainly by the Office
of Naval Research (ONR), is intended to be a principal node
in the GODAE architecture. The server contains:
- real-time and historical oceanographic observations
- real-time and historical surface atmospheric forcing
fields from Navy's Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography
Center (FNMOC) and NOAA's National Centers for Environmental
Prediction (NCEP) suitable for driving GODAE ocean models
- a full suite of real-time surface and upper-air fields
from FNMOC's Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction
System (NOGAPS) model sufficient to meet the needs of
the Cooperative Opportunity for NCEP Data Using Internet
data distribution Technology (CONDUIT) program
- selected U.S. Navy operational ocean products
- ancillary data sets, such ocean climatology and bathymetry,
important to GODAE ocean modeling efforts
- GODAE demonstration products from various GODAE modeling
groups.
The GODAE Monterey Server is hosted by the U.S. Navy
at Naval Research Laboratory Marine Meteorology Division, Monterey, CA. This arrangement furthers the goals of GODAE
by making unique data sets available while ensuring that
the U.S. Navy is involved with GODAE products that may
be of operational use.
