Creating grid with high resolution near the coast

[novice]

Hi All,

I want to create a ROMS grid with high resolution near the coast over the area shown in the attached figure. I would be grateful if anybody can suggest that how can I create such grid with varying resolution.

I think you want high resolution along the whole coast? Easiest is to have uniformly high resolution everywhere. Otherwise I think you are asking for an unstructured grid model, not ROMS.
