Numerical Models

Model Database has an integrated collection of numerical algorithms developed by TORI and through collaborative efforts with scholars, and releases the modeling results of such algorithms regularly. TORI also regularly obtain modeling results from international data modeling websites to update the database, displaying predictive modeling data for reference purposes.
There are two sets of algorithms/models displayed currently. One contains TaiCOM models developed by TORI and domestic scholars. The other contains HYCOM models which are public and available internationally.
TORI has developed the Taiwan Ocean Prediction System (TOPS), integrating SWAN, NWW III, and POM models.
Twice daily, TOPS updates and provides a 72-hour hourly numerical ocean prediction dataset.
