Ocean Observing Systems

Network to systematically collect & distribute a continuous flow of data in near-real time (equipment and people!).

Existing for 20+ years (almost!) all around the globe.

2012 – Santos Basin Ocean Observing System – Projeto Azul

Santos Basin modelers: Be aware!


Projeto Azul Objectives

Develop a network of systematic ocean observations, provided in neal real time for Santos Basin region.

Train professionals in operational oceanography: data collection, ocean modeling, data assimilation. (20+ scholarships)

Distribute all data collected through a web portal.

Contribute for the improvement of Santos Basin ocean dynamics knowledge.


Projeto Azul Components

Observations (in situ & remote)

Modeling

Data Distribution


Projeto Azul - Observations


Projeto Azul – Modeling

MyOcean + ROMS High Resolution: (Nested Grids)

Data Assimilation: Guess who?

Andy Moore!


Projeto Azul – Data Distribution


Concluding Remarks

Projeto Azul is a 3-year project.

It is certainly one piece of the puzzle. It won´t fulfill all the needs for ocean observations in Santos Basin: Partnerships!

In the end of 3-years we intend to be in position of starting ocean forecasting.

We need data assimilation!

All data easily available for who wants to make good use of it!

Questions?Suggestions!

Obrigado! Thanks!
