Flow Through the Straits of the Philippine Archipelago Simulated by Global HYCOM and EAS NCOM

Abstract

We plan to collaborate with other DRI participants to better evaluate and understand the dynamics seen in observations and model results within the Philippine Archipelago, a strategic region with numerous straits. The model results will come from the .08 and .04 global HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) and a .088 East Asian Seas (EAS) Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM), the .04 global HYCOM and some finer nests starting in FY09, the others from the outset.
