OPC's Ocean Forecast Branch issues warnings and forecasts in print and graphical formats for up five days into the future. Over 100 forecast products are issued daily. They cover the North Atlantic Ocean from the west coast of Europe to the U.S. and Canadian east coasts, and the North Pacific Ocean from the U.S. and Canadian west coast to the ...
These stations observe ocean waves, tide levels, sea surface temperature and ocean current etc. in the Northwestern Pacific basin, as well as the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk basin, and provide marine meteorological forecasts resulted from them, in cooperation with the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department, Japan Coast Guard.
The data from the GDP have been used by oceanographers to derive maps of lateral diffusivity and Lagrangian length- and time-scales across the Pacific. [7] Other uses include studies of plastic accumulation the ocean, [8] and climatological models that simulate equatorial ocean currents, as well as many others.
The 2024 Pacific hurricane season was a somewhat inactive season that saw 15 tropical cyclones develop overall, of which 14 became named storms. [nb 1] Among them, 5 developed into hurricanes, of which 3 intensified into major hurricanes.
PMEL carries out interdisciplinary scientific investigations in oceanography and atmospheric science to improve our understanding of the complex physical and geochemical processes operating in the world oceans, especially the Pacific Ocean, to define the forcing functions and the processes driving ocean circulation and the global climate system, and to improve environmental forecasting ...
Surging tropical activity in the South Pacific Ocean produced a relatively rare occurrence Tuesday: three named tropical cyclones active at the same time: Alfred, Rae and Seru.
The North Indian Ocean and the western Pacific are typically the first basins to see tropical cyclone activity in the Northern Hemisphere, with the eastern Pacific and North Atlantic typically ...
