Summary Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Technical specs Supported platforms Unix, Windows Other platform Programming language Fortran90 Other program language Code optimized Single Processor Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 2008 Does model development still take place? No If above answer is no, provide end year model development 2009 Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through CSDMS repository Source web address Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v2 Program license type other Memory requirements -- Typical run time 1 day In/Output Describe input parameters Initial bottom configuration, wind and tide characteristics, sea level rise rate, water column sediment concentration at the boundary. Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters Bottom configuration at each time step. Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Other visualization software gnuplot (facultative) Process Describe processes represented by the model Wind waves are computed by wave action propagation, tidal current are computed with a quasi static approximation. Bottom shaer stress, computed from a combination ot the two, induces bottom erosion. Suspended sediment are advected / diffused by tidal current, and eventually sedimented back. A different erosional process are used where waves break on a vertical obstacle (the vertical scarp at the marsh boundary). Vegetation is computed as a function of the ground elevation respect to the mean tidal level. Vegetation change bottom erodability and the sediment trapping. Describe key physical parameters and equations In each cell and at each time step the following are computed: bottom elevation, above-ground vegetation, water level, wave height, tidal current velocity, bottom shear stress, and suspended sediment concentration. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Transect length about 500 m Describe time scale and resolution constraints Time resolution 30 min, simualtion length about 100 years. Describe any numerical limitations and issues -- Testing Describe available calibration data sets -- Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets -- Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing -- Other Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? -- Is there a manual available? No Upload manual if available: Model website if any Model forum / discussion board Comments a routine is needed to solve a sparse linear system of equations.
