HYCOM Global Ocean model Forecast

Date created: 02 February 2023

Extraction of the operational Hycom global ocean forecast system at 1/12° for the Pacific region. Only surface field of current and temperature are provided. 

The system uses the Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation (NCODA) system (Cummings, 2005; Cummings and Smedstad, 2013) for data assimilation. NCODA uses the 24-hour model forecast as a first guess in a 3D variational scheme and assimilates available satellite altimeter observations, satellite, and in-situ sea surface temperature as well as in-situ vertical temperature and salinity profiles from XBTs, Argo floats and moored buoys. Surface information is projected downward into the water column using Improved Synthetic Ocean Profiles (Helber et al., 2013).
