A numerical model of the ocean is being developed.  It will                 include a spectral element description in the horizontal, and a                 layered coordinate in the vertical.  These refinements will                     provide an alternative to current ocean models which will                       increase computational efficiency, lower memory and storage                     requirements, and provide the potential for variable grid and                   parallel architecture developments.  The model will be exercised                on several critical physical processes in the ocean including the               deep circulation, interactions with topography, and mechanisms                  controlling potential vorticity in ocean gyres.  Model output                   will be contrasted with that from the ocean community modeling                  effort.  The work is a contribution to the World Ocean                          Circulation Experiment (WOCE).
