Eddy Resolving Global Ocean Prediction including Tides

Use the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) with tides, dynamic sea ice, and data assimilation in an eddy-resolving, fully global ocean prediction system with 1/25 horizontal resolution that will run in real time at the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) starting in 2012. The model will includ...

Description
Summary:Use the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) with tides, dynamic sea ice, and data assimilation in an eddy-resolving, fully global ocean prediction system with 1/25 horizontal resolution that will run in real time at the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) starting in 2012. The model will include shallow water and provide boundary conditions to finer resolution coastal models that may use HYCOM or a different model. To develop, evaluate, and investigate the dynamics of 1/25 global HYCOM (HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model) with tides coupled to CICE (Los Alamos Community Ice CodE) with atmospheric forcing only, with data assimilation via NCODA (NRL Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation), and in forecast mode. Also to incorporate advances in dynamics and physics from the science community into the HYCOM established and maintained within the Navy.
