Seminar Abstract

Australian involvement in the GODAE high-resolution sea surface temperature - pilot project (GHRSST-PP)

The Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature - Pilot Project (GHRSST-PP) has been established to give international focus and coordination to the development of a new generation of global, multi-sensor, high-resolution (~6 hours and 10 km), SST products.

The GHRSST-PP brings together international Space Agencies, Research Institutes, Universities, operational ocean forecasting agencies (civil and military) and Government agencies to collectively solve the scientific, logistical and managerial challenges posed by creating the SST data products and services within the GHRSST-PP.

Within Australia CSIRO and the Government Bureau of Meteorology are participating in GHRSST as a component of the Wealth from Oceans Flagship Program and BLUElink. The overall international project will be presented and Australian contributions to, benefits from, and future involvement in, GHRSST will be outlined.
