ODTM Stands for Ocean Dynamic Thermodynamic Model. It is a reduced gravity layered model embedded with very high vertical resolution mixed layer model based on Mellor and Yamada (1982) Level-2 Turbulent Clusure mixed layer model.
The hydrodynamic code was developed in Valsala (2009), further added Thermodynamic part in Valsala et al. (2018).   A video manual on 'how to run the model' is available here'.

<-- Schematic of the model with five active layers and bottom quiescent layer. The mixed layer model (MLM) is shown as constant levels for total depth Zm. (bottom) A schematic of velocity profiles for MLM parameterized from divergence of RGM layers.

Applications of ODTM
1. Tropical Oceanography

2. Simulation of dynamic-thermodynamic properties for tropical oceans

3. Regional Oceanography

4. Mixed Layer-Barrier Layer studies

5. Boundary currents and Eddies

6. Coupling with Ocean Biogeochemistry and Carbon Cycle
