2012 ROMS WORKSHOP – Rio de Janeiro Ocean Observing Systems Network to systematically collect & distribute a continuous flow of data in near-real time (equipment and people!). Existing for 20+ years (almost!) all around the globe – Santos Basin Ocean Observing System – Projeto Azul Santos Basin modelers: Be aware!

2012 ROMS WORKSHOP – Rio de Janeiro Projeto Azul Objectives Develop a network of systematic ocean observations, provided in neal real time for Santos Basin region. Train professionals in operational oceanography: data collection, ocean modeling, data assimilation. (20+ scholarships) Distribute all data collected through a web portal. Contribute for the improvement of Santos Basin ocean dynamics knowledge.

2012 ROMS WORKSHOP – Rio de Janeiro Concluding Remarks Projeto Azul is a 3-year project. It is certainly one piece of the puzzle. It won´t fulfill all the needs for ocean observations in Santos Basin: Partnerships! In the end of 3-years we intend to be in position of starting ocean forecasting. We need data assimilation! All data easily available for who wants to make good use of it!
