海洋天气预报也称海洋气象预报，是各大气象台通过电视台或广播对未来一段时间内海洋温度、风浪情况的预报。目前预报项目已超过20个，主要包括海浪、潮汐、潮流、风暴潮、地震海啸、水温、盐度、密度、声速、海冰、海流及大风、台风、海雾、能见度等。
在常规天气预报研究和气候变化研究中，海洋温度和风切变都被认为是预测飓风的两个最重要的因素。
Ocean temperatures and wind shear are considered the two most important factors for predicting hurricanes, both in regular weather prediction studies and climate change studies.
海军将主要将该计算机用于海洋图像建模和天气预报。
The Navy will use the machine principally for oceanographic modeling and weather forecasting.
许多天气预报模型暗示，当气温升高的时候，水循环会发生变化，但是，我们很难在海洋上测量降雨的变化，不过，海洋中的盐分水平实际上是一个重要参数，能表明海洋上降雨的变化。
But measuring these changes in rainfall over the ocean is very, very difficult to do. But salinity is actually an important parameter that gives us an indication of what might be going on.
