Dynamic Ocean Management Next Steps 1. Data-assimilative ROMS instead of Satellite fields 2. Derived frontal products (Scales et al. 2014) and Finite Size / Time Lyapunov Exponents from Aviso for mesoscale activity 3. Explore forecasting models (e.g. NMME) for use in pro-active planning, risk analyses, and management strategy evaluations.
