Princeton Ocean Model (POM) Introduction History Papers Princeton Ocean Model (POM) Questionnaire Contact Information Model: Princeton Ocean Model (POM) Contact person: Tal Ezer (Project manager) Institute: Old Dominion University City: Norfolk, Virginia Country: USA Email: tezer@odu.edu 2nd person involved: Lie-Yauw Oey 3rd person involved: -- Model description Model type: Single model for the marine domain. Description: The Princeton Ocean Model (POM), a simple-to-run yet powerful ocean modeling code that is able to simulate a wide-range of problems: circulation and mixing processes in rivers, estuaries, shelf and slope, lakes, semi-enclosed seas and open and global ocean. POM is a sigma coordinate, free surface ocean model with embedded turbulence and wave sub-models, and wet-dry capability. It has been one of the first coastal ocean models freely available to users, with currently over 3000 users from 70 countries. For more details see: http://www.aos.princeton.edu/WWWPUBLIC/htdocs.pom/ Technical information Supported platforms: UNIX, Linux, Windows Programming language: Fortran77, Fortran90 Model development started at: 1982 and is still going on To what degree will the model become available: As source code and as teaching tool Current license type: GPL v2 Memory requirements: -- Typical run time: -- Input / Output description Input parameters: Topography, temperature, salinity, wind, heat/salt fluxes.
