| Scenario 1 |
Local
coastline water level variations |
 |
Global Level of the Sea Surface Programme - an
international programme coordinated by the Intergovernmental
Oceanographic Commission (IOC) for the establishment of high quality
global and regional sea level networks for application to climate,
oceanographic, and coastal sea level research. |
 |
International Tsunami Information Centre -- Tsunami
information and warning system. |
| Scenario 2 |
Monitoring and predicting ocean circulation and its
control of the heat flux |
Joint WMO/IOC Technical Commission for
Oceanography and Marine Meteorology |
JCOMM Electronic Products Bulletin - weekly to monthly
global and regional oceanographic data sets for climate prediction,
including sea surface temperature, sst anomaly, surface winds, wind
stress, and surface currents. |
 |
Tropical Atmosphere Ocean Array - The TAO Array,
consisting of nearly 70 moored buoys spanning the equatorial Pacific,
measures oceanographic and surface meteorological variables critical
for improved detection, understanding and prediction of
seasonal-to-interannual climate variations originating in the
tropics, most notably those related to the El Nino/Southern
Oscillation (ENSO). |
| Scenario 3 |
Monitoring and predicting ocean circulation and its
impact on rainfall variability |
Joint WMO/IOC Technical Commission for
Oceanography and Marine Meteorology |
JCOMM Electronic Products Bulletin - weekly to monthly
global and regional oceanographic data sets for climate prediction,
including sea surface temperature, sst anomaly, surface winds, wind
stress, and surface currents. |
 |
Global Observing Systems Information Center - provides
information on the observing requirements, the operational data
systems, and the access procedures for finding and obtaining data and
products of the Global Terrestrial Observing System, Global Climate
Observing System, and Global Ocean Observing System. |
| Scenario 4 |
Ocean parameters to improve ship routing and efficiency
of vessel operations |
Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological
Institute |
SMHI Marine Services/Weather Routing - weather and
sea-state forecast for any harbour, area or a route in the area from
the Baltic Sea and the North Sea down to the
Mediterranean.
The Swedish Ice Service at SMHI monitors
daily the ice situation in the whole Baltic area during the ice
season, normally 15 November - 25 May. |
| Scenario 5 |
Ocean parameters to improve operational performance of
offshore operations |
Bureau of
Meteorology
Australia |
This page is designed to provide a broad introduction
to the Marine Weather & Oceanography Services of the Australian
Bureau of Meteorology. Available services include coastal and
high-seas warnings, observations, weather charts, and sea surface
(state and swell) forecasts. |
 |
24 and 48 hour forecasts of ice and oceanographic
conditions on the Grand Banks and Labrador Shelf. Model output of
sea-ice coverage and velocity, ocean current, surface drift,
sea-surface elevation, and wave height and direction. |
| Scenario 6 |
Improved ENSO forecasting around the Pacific Basin and
further afield |
Joint WMO/IOC Technical Commission for
Oceanography and Marine Meteorology |
JCOMM Electronic Products Bulletin - weekly to monthly
global and regional oceanographic data sets for climate prediction,
including sea surface temperature, sst anomaly, surface winds, wind
stress, and surface currents. |

| Scenario 7 |
Medium to long range forecasts of the seasonal to
interannual variability in the monsoon system |
 |
The collection of time series observations of
oceanographic and meteorological parameters over Indian Seas are
necessary to improve oceanographic services and predictive capability
of short-term and long-term climatic changes as well as to increase
the understanding of ocean dynamics. NDBP deployed 12 data buoys
during August 1997 to February 1998 at a sea depth of 20 m to 4500 m
over the EEZ of India. |

| Scenario 8 |
Impact on coastal circulation systems from changes in
the open ocean circulation |
