Sigma Code Testing.

Abstract

The SAI/NORDA Sigma Coordinate Ocean Forcasting computer code is a complicated simulation tool for modelling the behavior of the world's oceans. In this report, we present the result of a set of tasks which increase the code's accuracy and usefulness as a simulation tool. These tasks include the implementation of open boundary conditions, the creation of initialization data from mixed data sets, the improvement of output options, and the installation of the code on the VAX supermini computer. We also present the results of preliminary set up tasks for a simulation of the semiclosed basin of the eastern Mediterranean.
