U.S. GODAE: Global Ocean Prediction with the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model

Use the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) with data assimilation in an eddy-resolving, fully global ocean prediction system with transition to the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) at .08° equatorial (~7 km mid-latitude) resolution in 2007 and .04° resolution in 2011. The model will include shallow water and provide boundary conditions to finer resolution coastal and regional models that may use HYCOM or a different model. In addition, HYCOM will be coupled to atmospheric, ice and bio-chemical models, with transition to the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) for the coupled ocean-atmosphere prediction.
