운용해양예측시스템(KOOS) 개발

Abstract

Korea Operational Oceanographic System (KOOS) is a research project funded by the Minister of Land, Transportand Maritime Affairs (MLTM) in Korea and the goal of this project is to develop an integrated operationaloceanographic system that will provide nowcasts and forecasts of ocean information around Korean Peninsula tosupport marine activities for governmental agencies and to mitigate coastal disasters such as storm surge, oil spill,and search and rescue.Since August 2009, KIOST has been leading the project to develop KOOS, which consists of three parts, 1) observingsystems, 2) numerical modeling with data management and skill assessment, and 3) practical applicationsystems.In KOOS about 190 real-time coastal/ocean observing platforms such as tidal stations, buoys, off-shore researchstations and satellites from various agencies, KIOST, KHOA (Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration),NFRDI (National Fisheries Research & Development Institute), and KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration)have been used for input data as well as calibration and validation for numerical models. With observingnetworks, various atmospheric models and ocean models have been set-up and tested. KOOS enables us to forecasttides, waves, storm surges, currents as well as temperature and salinity for 72-hour time period in two time a day.The performance of numerical models is evaluated by the skill asseshat will provide nowcasts and forecasts of ocean information around Korean Peninsula tosupport marine activities for governmental agencies and to mitigate coastal disasters such as storm surge, oil spill,and search and rescue.Since August 2009, KIOST has been leading the project to develop KOOS, which consists of three parts, 1) observingsystems, 2) numerical modeling with data management and skill assessment, and 3) practical applicationsystems.In KOOS about 190 real-time coastal/ocean observing platforms such as tidal stations, buoys, off-shore researchstations and satellites from various agencies, KIOST, KHOA (Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration),NFRDI (National Fisheries Research & Development Institute), and KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration)have been used for input data as well as calibration and validation for numerical models.
