Progress of the 1/12 degree Global HYCOM Effort

Abstract

HYCOM Long-term Goals for Operational Ocean Prediction. 1/12 deg fully global ocean prediction system transitioned to NAVO in 2007. Include shallow water, minimum depth 5 m. Coupled sea-ice model (LANL CICE). Increase to 1/25 deg resolution globally by the end of the decade. Optimal resolution for basin-scale. Boundary conditions for coastal models.
