Numerical Models

Numerical models are our main tools when doing oceanographic research. We develop and use a suite of sophisticated models describing the physical and biogeophysical processes in the sea. In some applications the models might be coupled together in a multi model system.

The different model systems are used to do forecasts and warnings on shorter and longer time scales, study environmental change in the marine ecosystem and effects of climate change. The main model systems are HIROMB, SCOBI and RCO.

HIROMB

HIROMB (High Resolution Operational Model for the Baltic). Is an ocean circulation model with high resolution mainly intended to be used for doing forecasts in the Baltic Sea.

RCO

RCO (Rossby Centre Ocean model) is also an ocean circulation model with high resolution but its intended use i mainly for studiying climatic effects. It is developed in cooperation with the Rossby Centre.

SCOBI

SCOBI (Swedish Coastal and Ocean BIogeochemical model) is a biogeochemical model used to study how  the marine system is affected by environmental and climate change related problems.
