Forecasting system for the coastal waters of Korea using ROMS

Abstract

In this study, we have developed an operational oceanographic system for the high-resolution coastal circulation and hydrodynamics in Korea. The operational model forecasts hydrodynamics and wave information twice a day for 72 hours. The predicted result validated by real-time monitoring data is visualized effectively through the web-GIS system to provide 72-hours predicted coastal hydrodynamics in Korea to the public. This coastal operational oceanographic system will be used as a part of the development of Korea operational oceanographic system (KOOS).e predicted result validated by real-time monitoring data is visualized effectively through the web-GIS system to provide 72-hours predicted coastal hydrodynamics in Korea to the public.
