Marine Assimilative Modeling

Contents

Background

[must include reference to Marine Modeling in Applied Marine Data Analysis section, where practical matters of modeling are discussed; this section is mainly about modeling products and not an in-depth review of modeling, per se]

Ocean-Atmosphere Modeling Concepts

[very boiled down and elementary; refer to Marine Modeling for details]

Selected Models and Example Products

[select about 6-8 of the best of these, including NCEP items separately]

  • Mercator
  • FOAM
  • NCEP - several models
  • NLOM
  • UK Shelf-Seas
  • UK Wave
  • MFSTEP
  • TOPAZ
  • HYCOM - Data-assimilative hybrid isopycnal-sigma-pressure (generalized) coordinate ocean model (called HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model)

[try to get info on output formats, resolution, time steps, etc. so the user has an idea of how much comes out and what is involved in dealing with it]
