HyCOM, or Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model, is a type of oceanographic numerical model designed to simulate ocean circulation and dynamics. It utilizes a hybrid coordinate system that combines aspects of both Cartesian (grid-based) and sigma (depth) coordinates, allowing for more accurate representation of ocean processes across varying depths and regions. HyCOM is particularly useful for studying ocean currents, temperature distribution, sea surface height, and other key oceanographic variables.
