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.
