Project Details
Description
The World Ocean Circulation project focuses on the reconstruction of upper ocean ocean processes in several regions for direct utilization by end users.
Four themes are addressed:
Theme 1: Sea state interactions for safe navigation Surface current, wind sea and swell, freak waves, crossing seas, wave-current interaction, icebergs (users Navtor, CMA-CMG, MeteoFrance).
Theme 2: 3D currents and vertical motion for sustainable fisheries Total 3D currents, current vectors, T/S fields (users SOCIB, DTU).
Theme 3: Surface Lagrangian drift and clean ocean Total surface current, Ekman currents, Stokes drift, upper layer (100 m) currents (users ITOPF, MeteoFrance, CICESE).
Theme 4: High resolution wave and current model assessment Total currents, tidal currents, turbulence intensity, wave fields, climatology of currents and waves (users HERIOT WATT, France Energies Marine).
