Summary Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model physical oceanography, Technical specs Supported platforms Unix, Linux, Windows Other platform Programming language Fortran77, Fortran90 Other program language Code optimized Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 1982 Does model development still take place? Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code, As teaching tool Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address http://www.aos.princeton.edu/WWWPUBLIC/htdocs.pom/FTPbackup/ Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v2 Program license type other Memory requirements -- Typical run time -- In/Output Describe input parameters Topography, temperature, salinity, wind, heat/salt fluxes. Determine by user and application. Input format ASCII, Binary Other input format NetCDF Describe output parameters 3D fields of temperature, salinity, velocity, turbulent kinetic energy; 2D fields of surface elevation, vertically averaged velocity, stream function. Output format ASCII, Binary Other output format NetCDF Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software Matlab package and other Fortran routines Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Matlab Other visualization software Process Describe processes represented by the model Any 3D ocean circulation, mixing, dispersion processes, etc Describe key physical parameters and equations Primitive equations for momentum, heat and salt fluxes, as well as TKE equations. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Model used for grid size ranging from ~1m to 1000km Describe time scale and resolution constraints CFL condition Describe any numerical limitations and issues -- Testing Describe available calibration data sets Testing described in various papers (see web page) 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? There are over 3000 users from 70 countries registered in the POM users data base. Is there a manual available? Yes Upload manual if available: Model website if any http://www.aos.princeton.edu/WWWPUBLIC/htdocs.pom/ Model forum / discussion board Comments Web page includes additional information on code development, annual meetings, applications and searchable data base of over 1000 POM related journal publications.
