The Oregon State University (OSU) Tidal Inversion Software (OTIS) is being automated, tested and used to generate tidal solutions in the East-Asian Seas (EAS) region. This effort was undertaken to improve the tidal solutions within a relocatable version of the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM). Tests were conducted within the EAS and with a smaller domain within the EAS, the Yellow Sea, to look at the effects on OTIS of ...
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 ...
