Nesting Studies with HYCOM at NRL
Abstract
To go with the HYCOM-based global ocean prediction system scheduled for transition to NAVOCEANO in FY06 We need accurate nesting of coastal models. Nesting to higher resolution coastal domains using HYCOM and/or NCOM. Implies a vertical remapping from global HYCOM to the target vertical structure of the coastal domain. The nesting scheme must accurately represent flow regimes with widely different dynamics and time scales (e.g. in shallow water, over the continental slope and in deep water, with all three present in many cases).
