There are a large number of issues that impact th

partners. Accurate ocean surface current predictions and simulations may
prove as elusive as atmospheric fluxes and winds, and we do not yet fully
understand the extent to which subsurface currents can be predicted. We do
not yet know how well can we “predict” boundary conditions for coastal
applications, and how much it matters when we get it “right”.
earch and operational applications is the central objective of the
experiment. We need to set standards for data and products that are testable

(technical) evaluation criteria should measure the performance of the
components and functions, effectively within the GODAE Common.
External measures and feedback will come from GODAE users and
applications.
The scient
DAE metrics are given in Le Provost et al. (2002). The internal metrics
will include measures of consistency, quality and performance/efficiency.
The so- external evaluation criteria include (a) the impact of GODAE
products for the different applications, (b) the utility of GODAE products for
the research community, (c) the number of users and their level of
satisfaction, (d) the extent of resultant innovation, (e) the utility for
observing system evaluation and design, and (f ) the extent of uptake by
