Development of Advanced Numerical Algorithms and Physical Parameterizations Within the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)

Abstract

The primary goals of this research project are to systematically assess the performance and refine the numerical algorithms, physical parameterizations, and computational strategies used in Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). ROMS is a relatively new oceanic model, with parallel and loosely-coordinated developments between Dr. Hernan Arango (Rutgers) and us. It has established itself as a viable community model with a growing number of research users.
