The global version of the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (Global NCOM) was run by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) as the Navy’s operational global ocean-prediction system before being replaced by the Global HYCOM system in 2013. The Naval Research Laboratory developed NCOM based on the Princeton Ocean Model with time invariant hybrid (sigma over Z) vertical coordinates.
Product Details
NCOM output data is interpolated onto a horizontal grid with a series of standard depths, and parsed into 13 regions. NCEI provides access to three-dimensional data from regions around the United States and its territorial waters as well as global data for the surface layer. See the Navy's NCOM Publications page for additional information on NCOM.
Status
NCOM is a static dataset that is no longer being operated or updated.
