1/12 degree Global HYCOM Evaluation and Validation

Abstract : HYCOM/NCODA/PIPS. Capability: Provide accurate 3D temperature, salinity and current structure; depict the location of mesoscale features such as oceanic eddies and fronts. Progress: 1/12 global HYCOM/NCODA running in realtime in the NAVOCEANO operational queues; Validation testing has begun. Issues: Complete coupling of HYCOM/PIPS via ESMF (NRL). Get NCODA working in curvilinear part of grid (NRL). Need OcnQC running operationally (NAVOCEANO).
