What Does NCOM Stand For?

NCOM stands for NCAR CSM Ocean Model

NCOM, or NCAR CSM Ocean Model, is a high-resolution ocean modeling system developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) as part of the Community Suborbital Model (CSM) framework. It is designed to simulate oceanic processes and interactions within the Earth's climate system, providing critical insights for climate research and forecasting. NCOM integrates various physical and biogeochemical components, enabling comprehensive analysis of ocean dynamics, temperature variations, and ecosystem responses to climate change.
