What are the abervations and applications of POM and MOM in ocean models?

POM (Princeton Ocean Model) and MOM (Modular Ocean Model) are both numerical ocean models used for simulating oceanic processes. POM is primarily designed for regional-scale applications, focusing on estuarine and coastal dynamics, while MOM is versatile and suited for global-scale ocean circulation studies. Both models employ numerical methods to solve the equations of motion and thermodynamics, aiding in climate prediction, weather forecasting, and understanding oceanic impacts on climate change. They are widely utilized in research and operational oceanography for studying phenomena like currents, temperature distribution, and nutrient cycling.
