Abstract :
The Naval Research Laboratory has developed the world´s first eddy-resolving global ocean nowcast and forecast system. It uses satellite observations and on ocean model running on a high-performance-computing platform to enhance real-time knowledge of the marine environment in which naval submarines and ships must operate
