Abstract
Based on the experience of numerical weather prediction
during the 1950s and 1960s as a model, a case is presented
for the development of an ocean prediction capability during
the 1980s. Examples selected from recent research at the
Naval Postgraduate School are used to illustrate some
aspects of the theoretical background, representation of
physical processes, observational support systems, and the
justification for a first-generation ocean prediction system.
