While MOM4/5 and GOLD are distinct developments and fundamentally differ in formulation, the vision for the next generation modular ocean model will blend these two disparate approaches together over the next development cycle, in a new model to be called MOM6. MOM6 will incorporate all the new coordinate work represented by MOM4/5 and GOLD and multiple horizontal grid types (B and C grids). The model will likely have new physics (including non-hydrostatic terms) and the software may look more like a library than a single source code. It will be both a completely new model and yet be configurable to recover the capabilities of its predecessors.だそうです。一応、備忘録代わりに。

MOM と GOLD
紅白出場が内定したとかしないとかいう某アイドルグループではなく、GFDL の海洋大循環モデル MOM (Modular Ocean Model) と GOLD (Generalized Ocean Layered Model) の話。少し前に MOM5 がリリースされたという話があって、一方の GOLD も2012年9月に正式版が公開されたらしく、で、今後は⋯⋯というと、
