Ocean Modeling Discussion

There is a position available at UCLA to be part of the further development of the UCLA ROMS code base.

See the attached file for further information

We recently completed a non-hydrostatic version of ROMS. It is currently in a beta testing phase but will be publicly available this fall. In celebration of this fact we are organizing a workshop on the topic of small scale, non-hydrostatic ocean modeling in Brest, France, October 15-17, 2018. This ...

Your fine and coarse grid topography may not match at the boundaries of the fine grid. If that is the case, you should use a merging function to ensure that they do. See also Mason et al., Ocean Modelling, 2010.

A full-time postdoctoral position is available jointly at the European Institute of Marine Sciences (IUEM) and the French Research Institute for Exploration of the Sea (IFREMER) in Brest, France, under the supervision of Dr. Jeroen Molemaker. The position is funded by the LabexMer Chair in fine ...

Julio,

I don't think that romstools can do this. Send me a mail and I'll help you out.

Something like this? This is obtained using a rotated Mercator projection. As a result the grid has the smallest possible ratio between maximum and minimum grid spacing (1.012 for this example).

What do you mean with that? How do you assess whether you can or not?

We were having a discussion about the orthogonality of ROMS grids and the effect of loss of such orthogonality on conservation properties of ROMS. To be more specific, we could not immediately agree on whether grids need to be discretely orthogonal or merely up to discretization errors. Does anyone ...
