TL;DR: In this paper, a new operational ocean forecast system, the Atlantic Margin Model implementation of the Forecast Ocean Assimilation Model (FOAM-AMM), has been developed for the European North West Shelf (NWS).

TL;DR: The Forecasting Ocean Assimilation Model (FOAM) deep ocean analysis and forecasting system has been running operationally at the Met Office for over 10 years and has recently been transitioned to use the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) community model as its core ocean component.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Atlantic Margin Model (AMM15) is introduced as a new regional configuration of NEMO v3.6, with modifications appropriate for the new high-resolution domain.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the physical model component of the standard Coastal Ocean version 5 configuration (CO5) of the European north-west shelf (NWS). CO5 was developed jointly between the Met Office and the National Oceanography Centre.

TL;DR: In this paper, a function for discretising the vertical coordinate in ocean models is proposed, which allows the user to define a fixed surface resolution, as one can in geopotential coordinate models, whilst retaining the benefits of terrain-following coordinates.
