Published purpose
The ocean currents of the Northwest Atlantic show a substantial variability. Accurate forecast systems need to support a range of applications such as emergency response, search and rescue and, transportation. However, the extent to which forecasts are accurate is limited by the presently available satellite observations. SWOT mission may improve this situation, provided the data can be assimilated adequately. We will use SWOT and other satellite data to provide improved forecasts for the Canadian East Coast, using a numerical computer model. New developments in this project will be directly transferrable to the ECCC Prediction System.
