HYCOM is a primitive equation ocean general circulation model, evolved from the Miami Isopycnic-Coordinate Ocean Model. HYCOM provides the capability of selecting several different vertical mixing schemes for the surface mixed layer and the comparatively weak interior diapycnal mixing.
HYCOM Performance Benchmark and Profiling
The HYCOM consortium is a multi-institutional effort sponsored by the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP), as part of the U. S. Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE), to develop and evaluate a data-assimilative hybrid isopycnal-sigma-pressure (generalized) coordinate ocean model (called HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model or HYCOM).
This site provides access to near real time global HYCOM + NCODA based ocean prediction system output.
