Did you know there are days missing data? |
 |
|
Yes. We are aware that some days (early on in the GLBa0.08 model runs) are missing data. Without interpolation there is no way for us to fill in these data gaps. CPU cycles on the Navy HPC are finite and the project is only allocated so much. The following days are known to be missing data from the GLBa0.08 model, spanning multiple experiments (see GLBa0.08 Documentation here): |

How much CPU time is required to produce the HYCOM GLBa0.08 data? |
|
|
Currently running on a Cray XT5 (at the Navy DSRC), the HYCOM GLBa0.08 with data assimilation takes about 2 wall hours per model day using 624 cores (78 nodes, each holding two AMD Barcellona 4-core chips). |
|
Can I rely on data to be updated on a daily basis? |
|
|
No. This is a demonstration product from the HYCOM Consortium and is provided as is. HYCOM Consortium does not warrant or suggest that this data is fit for any particular purpose. Further, neither COAPS nor HYCOM consortium guarantee availability, service updates or timely data delivery. |
