Global Ocean Forecast System (GOFS) Version 3.0 (User's Manual)

Abstract

The User's Manual describes the sequence of scripts for the Global Ocean Forecast System (GOFS) Version 3.0 that consists of the 1/12 degree global HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) and uses the Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation scheme that is run daily in the normal processing stream at the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO). It is geared toward NAVOCEANO operators rather than a scientific researcher using HYCOM. The appendices contain the individual scripts used in the daily runstream and a troubleshooting guide is included to provide workarounds to some common problems encountered when running the model.
