Title: Navy Layered Ocean Model (NLOM)

Description:

Abstract:

The Navy Layered Ocean Model (NLOM) is a nearly global (72S to 65N) mesoscale ocean model. The model has 6 layers in the vertical with ~1/16 degree resolution in the horizontal, and covers regions of the ocean deeper than 200m. The model is forced by NOGAPS atmospheric forcing. The model also assimilates sea-surface height from satellite altimetry and MODAS sea-surface temperature. The model is thermodynamic and includes a bulk mixed layer model. See Rhodes, R.C. et al., 2002: Navy Real-Time Global Modeling Systems, Oceanography 15, 29-43, for an overview and a list of references.
