The OceanPrediction Decade Collaborative Center (DCC) architecture is a guide on how to build an Ocean forecasting system, describing the required tools and data standards, and all the required “wiring” between the different components.
This publication was prepared by the Ocean Forecasting Co-Design Team (OFCT), a group of worldwide experts integrated into the OceanPrediction DCC. The main objective of this team is to analyze the status of ocean forecasting worldwide, identify gaps and ways forward, and amongst other targets, design the ocean forecasting architecture presented in this document.
