Eddy resolving ocean simulation
(OFES: OGCM for the Earth Simulator)




OFES*1 and the Earth Simulator enable to perform decadal integrations of eddy resolving ocean simulations in the world ocean. The Earth Simulator Center (ESC) and Frontier Research Center for Global Change (FRCGC) in Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC ) promote OFES research project and collaborate with several research groups. This site provides access service to the outputs from OFES quasi-global eddy-resolving simulation.

*1 OFES (OGCM for the Earth Simulator):
Based on the Modular Ocean Model ver.3 (MOM3), developed by GFDL/NOAA, we have developed an OGCM code (OFES: OGCM for the Earth Simulator) optimized for massively-parallel computations on the Earth Simulator.
