Abstract

The Distributed Integrated Ocean Prediction System (DIOPS) is a complete wave, tide and surf prediction system that can be run on a Unix platform or personal computer. Operational Navy meteorological numerical modeled winds and sea level pressure are used to initialize and force the system. An improved graphical user interface allows for efficient model setup, configuration, and visualization. DIOPS is being designed to be operated by junior enlisted personnel.
