Ocean Model (docn6)
The Ocean model used in CCSM, the Climatological Data Ocean Model (docn), is one of four component models plus the coupler that make up the structure of CCSM. The most recent version is Version 6.0. Unlike the atmosphere model, this component cannot be run as a standalone model; it must be run within the framework of CCSM. It takes two netCDF datasets as input, then outputs six climate variables to the coupler, to be integrated with the variable produced by the other component models.

Famous quotes containing the words ocean and/or model:
“Oh, a capital ship for an ocean trip,
Was the Walloping Window Blind;
No gale that blew dismayed her crew
Or troubled the captain’s mind.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it ... it’s just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
