Extension of the Navy Layered Ocean Model to Shallow Seas: A Hybrid Coordinate Approach

Abstract

The goal of this work is to extend the geographic range of applicability of isopycnic coordinate models, such as the Navy Layered Ocean Model, toward shallow coastal seas. The numerical innovation making this extension possible is the hybrid (mixed isopycnic/terrain following) vertical coordinate.
