Korea SNU Coupled Model         Dynamical Model

Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA)
Soeul, South Korea

This is an intermediate ocean model, combined with a statistical atmospheric model. The ocean model is similar to that of the original (1987) Cane and Zebiak model, but differs in the parameterization of subsurface temperature and the basic state. The statistical atmosphere model uses singular value decomposition (SVD) with wind stress and SST as its input data.
