A Regional Oceanic Modeling System with mesh refinement, pre- and post-processing tools
Over the last several years, we have developed at UCLA, Rutgers University and IRD a three-dimensional numerical oceanic model intended for simulating currents, ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, and sediment movement in various coastal regions. It is called the Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS). This IRD version of the code, ROMS_AGRIF, makes use of the AGRIF grid refinement procedure developed at the LJK-IMAG and is accompanied by a powerful toolbox for ROMS pre- and post-processing: ROMSTOOLS.
