Deep Ocean Model Applications
Usage of the FOAM suite of models includes:
Forecasts and Studies
- Forecasts of temperature, salinity and mixed layer depth for speed of sound prediction
Archives
- 5-year plus model archives in support of design analyses (e.g. extremes) and operability analyses (e.g. threshold based downtime)
- Forecast archives available for case testing
Research and Development
- Physical component for deep ocean ecosystems model research and development
- Component of the EU MERSEA project
- Base model for climate prediction modelling
See the Products and Services sections for more information on applications of NCOF forecast systems.
