POM
Princeton Ocean Model
The Princeton Ocean Model (POM) is an ocean model that captures large-scale ocean circulation processes, nearshore coastal wave dynamics, turbulence dynamics, coastal wetting-drying dynamics.

- Model Information
- For more information about this model, go to www.ccpo.odu.edu
- Spatial Resolution
- The vertical spatial dimension is defined by the sigma coordinate on the terrain following vertical scale. Grid mesh is curvilinear or rectilinear.
- Temporal Resolution
- Short time steps are required for proper model convergence. Step size is dictated by spatial input parameters.
- Outputs
- Outputs include ocean flows, salinity and temperature.
