Advanced Modeling System for the Gulf of Mexico: Evaluation and Validation of the NRL-POM Relocatable Model

Abstract

A computationally robust, user friendly, and physically accurate modeling system has been implemented to provide short-term forecast capabilities in support of real-time Naval operations. MODAS nowcast provides initial and boundary condition for NRLPOM, a version of the Princeton ocean model. NRLPOM includes tidal forcings and has the capability to be coupled with other large-scale models and nesting between domains of different grid resolutions. The MODAS-NRLPOM prediction system has been evaluated in several areas and configurations.
