 | The Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) Version 5.0 is a fully coupled, data assimilative model which consists of the atmospheric model (COAMPS), coupled to the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM), and the Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) model. Coupling of the models is accomplished via the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF), in which surface fluxes of momentum and moisture, sea surface heights, currents, Stokes' drift currents, and wave radiation stress ... |

|
| The Tidal Open-boundary Prediction System (TOPS) is a tool that provides tidal predictions for the open boundaries of the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM). This system predicts tides by assimilating International Hydrographic Office (IHO) tide gauge and TOPEX altimetry data with shallow water dynamics using four-dimensional variational analysis (4DVAR). TOPS is based on the Oregon State University (OSU) Tidal Inversion Software (OTIS) package, which was simplified, automated, and transitioned to ... |

| The Coupled Ocean/Atmospheric Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) Version 5.0 is a fully coupled, data assimilative model which consists of both COAMPS Version 3 and the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) Version 4. Coupling of the two models is accomplished via the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) in which surface fluxes of momentum and moisture are exchanged across the air-sea interface. This version of the user's manual (1.0) includes instructions to ... |

| The Polar Ice Prediction System (PIPS) Version 3.0 is a dynamic sea-ice model that forecasts conditions in all sea-ice covered areas in the northern hemisphere (down to 30 degrees north in latitude). It has a horizontal resolution of approximately 9 km. The vertical resolution in the model has been set at 45 levels so that Arctic shelves, continental slopes, and submarine ridges are accurately represented. Currently, the domain includes the ... |
