Development and Evaluation of a Global Version of the Miami Isopycnic-Coordinate Ocean Model. Final report
The objective of this project was to test the ability of the Miami Isopycnic-Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) to simulate the global ocean circulation, setting the stage for the model's incorporation into coupled global climate models. An existing basin-scale model will be expanded to global doma...
