User's Manual for the Globally Relocatable Navy Tide/Atmosphere Modeling System (PCTides)
Abstract
The purpose of this user's guide is to describe the steps needed to set up and run a tide model as pant of the Globally Relocatable Tide/Atmospheric Models System (PCTides). It includes detailed examples and instructions on how to set up a grid and model bathymetry, how to generate a tidal forecast using a 2- or 3-dimensional barotropic ocean model and how to view forecast products. Instructions are included for the set up of a surge forecast using hurricane winds and pressures generated by a hurricane model that is included in the PCTides system. This user's guide contains an appendix that provides instruction on how set up and run a globally relocatable mesoscale atmospheric model. This model may be used to provide surface wind and pressure forcing for the ocean model when other operational Navy winds are not available.
