Published by National Renewable Energy Laboratory | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-06-14T15:27:40Z
The University of Miami Coupled Model (UMCM) is a coupled model that integrates atmospheric, wave, and ocean components to produce wind, wave, and current data. Atmospheric data is produced using the [Weather Research and Forecasting model](https://www.mmm.ucar.edu/weather-research-and-forecasting-model) (WRF), Wave data is produced using the [University of Miami Wave Model](https://umwm.org/) (UMWM), While ocean current data is produced using the [HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model](https://www.hycom.org/) (HYCOM). The time resolution for each model run is as follows: Hurricane Ike -> 1 sample/hour from 9/8/2008 12:00:00 UTC to 9/12/2008 6:00:00 UTC -> 1 sample/10 minutes from 9/12/2008 6:00:00 UTC to 9/13/2008 9:00:00 UTC Hurricane Sandy -> 1 sample/10 minutes from 10/28/2012 00:10:00 UTC to 10/31/2012 00:00:00 UTC
