| One-line model description | Nearshore Community Model |
| Extended model description | NearCoM predicts waves, currents, sediment transport and bathymetric change in the nearshore ocean, between the shoreline and about 10 m water depth. The model consists of a "backbone", i.e., the master program, handling data input and output as well as internal storage, together with a suite of "modules": wave module, circulation module and sediment transport module. |

| Process description model | |
|---|---|
| Describe processes represented by the model | NearCoM predicts surface waves and wave-induced nearshore processes such as nearshore circulation, sediment transport and morphological changes. |
| Describe key physical parameters and equations | Wave equations, wave-averaged circulation equations and equations for bedload and suspended-load sediment transport. |
| Describe length scale and resolution constraints | Nearshore regions from shoreline to 10 meter water depth. Model resolution depends on specific modules. |
| Describe time scale and resolution constraints | Hours to months. |
| Describe any numerical limitations and issues | Wave modules have an automatic grid refinement feature. Circulation modules have two kinds: CFL limited and CFL-free schemes. |
