Abstract

We discuss the current status and future directions of the ocean current forecast. Combining the satellite and in-situ observation with numerical modeling has established nowcast and forecast of the mesoscale eddies with a radius larger than 100 km outside of the shelf break（open ocean）. The wide-swath altimeter satellites that will appear in the near future could be effective for capturing the mesoscale eddies over almost all scale ranges. Inside of the shelf break（coastal seas）, in contrast, there are insufficient observation data for monitoring of the coastal phenomena. We suggest utilization of drifting buoys and coastal shipping in order to resolve this issue.
