Velkommen OPNet Ocean Prediction Networking
OPNet Overall objective: To strengthen and formalize collaboration among Norwegian institutes involved in research and development related to marine forecasting • Commissioned by: • RCN (Research Council of Norway) • Subcontractors: • IMR, NERSC, NIVA
OPNet • Specific objectives: • To monitor and discuss existing forecast products and their performance to help improving the tools and the methods used to produce the ocean forecasts. • To develop common validation tools that can be run to provide measures of the forecast skill. • To develop our understanding of the strength and weaknesses of the different model modules used by the partners. • To implement and operate a web-page for dissemination of forecasts, and forecast performance, e.g. skill measures.
OPNet: WP1 • WP1: Seminars. • Two day seminars • At least two researchers from each of the partners must attend. • Representative from a selected user groups and from foreign national groups by invitation • Agenda: To discuss • ocean prediction products, • tools and methods, i.e., data assimilation methods, numerical methods, numerical model implementation • results originating from other projects of relevance for ocean prediction. • Deliverables: • Minutes summarizing recommendations made.
OPNet WP2 • WP2: Development and dissemination • Automatic validation product or skill measures of the model forecast. • Display products on a website • Deliverables from this WP are manuscripts documenting and explaining the products. The first of these will document the validation system and its implementation.
