HYCOM Initial and Boundary Conditions for Coupled COAMPS/NCOM

Abstract

The long-term goal of this effort is to evaluate HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) initial and boundary conditions supplied to the air-ocean coupled system represented by the globally-relocatable high-resolution atmospheric model in the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere/Ocean Mesoscale Prediction System COAMPS(trademark)1 and the NRL Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM). Related projected outcomes will include improvements to NCOM s treatment of boundary conditions and exploration of the relative sensitivity of coupled model skill to boundary, initial and surface forcing perturbations.
