U.S. GODALE: Global Ocean Prediction With the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model
2006
Hurlburt, Harley E.
The long term goal of this project is to use 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. One objective is to participate in the multinational Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) and international GODAE-related ocean prediction system intercomparison projects.
