CROCODILE is an NSF-funded cyberinfrastructure collaboration between the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).
Our goal is to build a community of practice around regional ocean modeling for studying ocean physics, the carbon cycle, climate change and intervention, and more, by creating and curating a common set of open-source tools.
We want YOU to be up and running a regional ocean model, with all the necessary forcing files, boundary conditions, etc., for fairly arbitrary domains and model resolutions, including data assimilation capabilities, in a matter of hours rather than weeks!
- The MOM6 ocean model
- DART ensemble data assimilation
- MARBL ocean biogeochemistry
- Coupling infrastructure from the Community Earth System Model (CESM)
- Python infrastructure from regional-mom6
- Join us on Slack!
- Check out our open source code being developed at CROCODILE-CESM
- An initial code release in 2025
- Announcements for workshops at NSF NCAR, also in 2025
