Relocatable Ocean Atmosphere Model (ROAM)
Summary Summary version 1 of a data-assimilating global ocean model has been run for 10yrs. Surface currents good, temperatures will be better in version 2. GUI-launched nested model in final stages of testing daily-updated web site showing ocean data popular with industrial and recreational users user pull: GoogleEarth/GIS compatibility threat analysis: declining number of altimeters
