2006 LAYERED OCEAN MODEL WORKSHOP

1:30 - 1:50 p.m. Tuesday February 14

A global CCSM-HYCOM system

Ge Peng and Eric Chassignet, RSMAS/UM; Nancy Norton, NCAR/UCAR

The effort continues to implement HYCOM as one of the ocean circulation model modules in the latest NCAR CCSM3 framework using NCAR coupler version 6, for related global climate change studies.

Results from test runs will be shown to validate model performance and to discuss issues such as impact of diurnal forcing and initial conditions.
