- Model Information
- For more information about this model, go to www.myroms.org
- Spatial Resolution
- The spatial resolution is based on the cartesian or spherical coordinate system. Horizontal direction grid uses orthogonal curvilinear grid. In the vertical, free surface terrain following is used.
- Temporal Resolution
- User defined time step vary based on model convergence requirements.
- Outputs
- Model can produce netCDF files. Post processers provide output visualization and datasets for use in other programs.
