User's Guide for the Couple Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS)

Abstract

The Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) is a fully interactive coupled mesoscale model. It has been designed as a research tool for the simulation and study of a broad range of oceanic, atmospheric, and coupled ocean/atmosphere processes. Although the user's guide provides a brief description and execution of a COAMPS model run. The code has been written to allow the user to customize each simulation. This is accomplished by specifying a combination of input parameters, coding options and initialization features that best describe the particular process being studied. A flow chart of the COAMPS code and of the steps required to perform a simulation and submit a job are presented.
