U.S. GODAE: Global Ocean Prediction with HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM)

Lead PI: Dr. Eric Chassignet, University of Miami, RSMAS

A broad partnership of institutions developing and demonstrating the performance and application of eddy-resolving, real-time global and basin-scale ocean prediction systems using the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). The systems will run efficiently on a variety of massively parallel computers and will include sophisticated, but relatively inexpensive, data assimilation techniques for assimilation of satellite altimeter sea surface height (SSH) and sea surface temperature (SST) as well as in-situ temperature, salinity, and float displacement.
