Motivation How may ocean models do we have? How may ocean models do we have? A lot; they differ simply by their coordinate formulation. A lot; they differ simply by their coordinate formulation. All of them solve the same ocean equations All of them solve the same ocean equations Generalized vertical Coordinate Equations

Understanding/predicting ocean dynamics needs both observations and models Satellite observations give synoptic view of the global ocean Satellite observations give synoptic view of the global ocean Based on remote sensing technology Based on remote sensing technology With amazing accuracy With amazing accuracy Ocean models Ocean models give 3-dimensional structure of the ocean Based on computer technology Based on computer technology With possible errors (inconsistent with satellite measurements) With possible errors (inconsistent with satellite measurements)

Problems: T/P & Jason provide SSH, representing volume changes (heat expansion), but most models are incompressible (Boussinesq). T/P & Jason provide SSH, representing volume changes (heat expansion), but most models are incompressible (Boussinesq). GRACE measures ocean bottom pressure, representing water mass changes, but most models are not mass conserving. GRACE measures ocean bottom pressure, representing water mass changes, but most models are not mass conserving.

Model Errors: 1. Numerical Error: Conventional single-coordinate model has difficulties to represent multi-scale ocean dynamics & topography accurately. 2.Representation Error: Boussinesq approximations do not represent real ocean physics (e.g. heat expansion & freshwater flux) and is inconsistent with T/P and GRACE data.

Reduce representation errors by non-Boussinesq formulation Reduce numerical errors by the generalized coordinate The New Model Configuration SCRUM (Song&Haidvogel 1994) Non-Boussinesq ROMS (Song 2002) GCOM
