MOM6 is the sixth generation of the Modular Ocean Model under development by scientists at at NOAA/GFDL, in collaboration with scientists worldwide. MOM is a numerical ocean model for studying ocean circulation, the climate of the ocean and ocean biogeochemistry. The previous versions, upto and including MOM5, have been widely used throughout the ocean and climate community, as well as by NOAA, and applied in a wide range of applications. MOM6 differs from the previous renditions by use of a general vertical coordinate formulation and the Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian method, features that were tested in the GOLD layered model.
