In this paper we design a modified version of FVCOM by adopting hybrid meshes and shifting the placement of velocity variables from the centroids of elements to the middle points of edges. A simplified version of geostrophic equation is solved to test the new scheme, and illustrates a nearly uniform error distribution.
