Oceanic General Circulation Models

  • Chapter
Ocean Modeling and Parameterization

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 516))

Abstract

The practice of oceanic numerical modeling is growing rapidly. Among the reasons for this are the following: a widespread realization that model solutions can, either now or at least in the near future, be skillful in mimicking observed oceanic features; an understanding of the limitations of the alternative and more traditional scientific methodologies of making measurements in the oceans and developing analytic theories for highly nonlinear dynamical systems; an appreciation of the importance of the oceans in the socially compelling problems of anthropogenic changes in climate and the environment; and an exploitation of the steady increases in computing power that make meaningfully comprehensive oceanic calculations ever more feasible.
