MIT Ocean Model and Its

Constrain global ocean circulation by assimilating in situ and remote data in global ocean solutions

A new approach to reducing model biases

Schneider et al., 2017

Moving forward

1. Develop unified SGS process models of boundary layer turbulence in the atmosphere and ocean

2. Develop global atmosphere and ocean model with horizontal resolution of a few kilometers and with SGS models that learn from the fly from nested LES and global observations through scalable algorithms for DA/ML

3. Couple the atmosphere and ocean models

Improve the representation of SGS physics in climate models
