Modular Ocean Model (MOM)
The Modular Ocean Model (MOM) is a three-dimensional, z-coordinate, B-grid, primitive equation ocean circulation model. It is designed primarily as a tool for studying the ocean climate system. The model is developed and supported by researchers at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), with contributions also provided by researchers outside of GFDL.

Hallberg Isopycnal Model (HIM)
The Hallberg Isopycnal Model (HIM) is a three-dimensional, isopycnal coordinate, C-grid, primitive equation ocean circulation model. HIM is designed as a tool for studying both the ocean climate system and more idealized ocean circulations. The model is developed and supported by researchers at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), principally R. Hallberg, with some contributions from oceanographers outside of GFDL.
