GCMD Keyword Request - HYCOM

by OB.DAAC - amscott » Fri Mar 13, 2026 9:58 am America/New_York

ShortName: HYCOM
LongName: HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model
Definition: The hybrid coordinate extends the geographic range of applicability of traditional isopycnic coordinate circulation models (the basis of the present hybrid code), such as the Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) and the Navy Layered Ocean Model (NLOM), toward shallow coastal seas and unstratified parts of the world ocean.

Actually, Tyler, can we hold off on this one. I asked a question in slack to the CMR team. I'm curious about the answer before we proceed.
