WHO WE ARE

NRL's Ocean Dynamics and Prediction Branch (NRL 7320) performs basic and applied
research in computer modeling of ocean hydro/thermodynamics (i.e., ocean
circulation and density structure), modeling of ice dynamics, computational
numerical techniques, data assimilation, and the analysis of satellite
oceanographic data as related to the development of modeling and data
assimilation capabilities. This branch translates the results of basic and
applied research into accurate, scientifically valid, environmental models and
analyses and streamlines these models into operational, data assimilative,
nowcast/forecast systems. These systems cover deep ocean basins, marginal and
semi-enclosed seas, and coastal regions. Expanded ocean physics included in such
systems and areas for future branch research and development include ocean tide
and wave modeling as well as upper ocean processes. Research in computational
techniques includes the study of efficient solutions to partial differential
equations arising in oceanography with a special focus on efficient
utilitization of massively parallel processing technology. Our nowcast/forecast
and simulation systems have broad and direct application to issues related to
Naval operations (ASW, Search and Rescue, Amphibious Landing, Mine and Special
Warfare, Mission Planning, etc.), simulation and design of Global (and Local)
Ocean Observing Systems (GOOS), and many facets of the Ocean Prediction
Challenge.
