Hycom Consortium for Data Assimilative Ocean Modeling

Abstract

Development of a consortium for hybrid-coordinate data assimilative ocean modeling, which will be ready in 2003 to address both the US-GODAE (Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment) principal objective, i.e., the depiction of the three-dimensional ocean state at fine resolution in near-real time, and the climate modeling objective of producing an unbiased estimate of the state of the ocean at coarse resolution for long-term climate variability research. This effort is part of a 5-year (FY00-04) multi-institutional National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) project which includes E. Chassignet (coordinator), G. Halliwell, and A. Mariano (U. of Miami/RSMAS), M. Chin (JPL/U. of Miami), R. Bleck (LANL), H. Hurlburt, A. Wallcraft, P. Hogan, R. Rhodes, C. Barron, and G. Jacobs (NRL-Stennis), O.M. Smedstad (Planning Systems, Inc.), W.C. Thacker (NOAA/AOML), and Remy Baraille (SHOM).
