Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions Spatial extent Model domain One-line model description Chesapeake Bay ROMS Community Model (ChesROMS), special case of ROMS Extended model description ChesROMS is a community ocean modeling system for the Chesapeake Bay region being developed by scientists in NOAA, University of Maryland, CRC (Chesapeake Research Consortium) and MD DNR (Maryland Department of Natural Resources) supported by the NOAA MERHAB program. The model is built based on the Rutgers Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS, http://www.myroms.org/) with significant adaptations for the Chesapeake Bay. The model is developed to provide a community modeling system for nowcast and forecast of 3D hydrodynamic circulation, temperature and salinity, sediment transport, biogeochemical and ecosystem states with applications to ecosystem and human health in the bay. Model validation is based on bay wide satellite remote sensing, real-time in situ measurements and historical data provided by Chesapeake Bay Program. http://ches.communitymodeling.org/models/ChesROMS/index.php Keywords: Name Wen Long Type of contact Technical contact Institute / Organization Postal address 1 2020 Horns Point Rd Postal address 2 Town / City Cambridge Postal code 21613 State Maryland Country United States Email address wenlong@umces.edu Phone Fax Supported platforms Unix, Linux, Windows Other platform CygWin Programming language Fortran90 Other program language Code optimized Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 1998 Does model development still take place? No If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address http://ches.communitymodeling.org/models/ChesROMS/ Source csdms web address Program license type Other Program license type other MIT/X License, see License_ROMS.txt. Memory requirements Typical run time Describe input parameters There are hundreds of input parameters for the physical, ecosystem, and sediment models. In addition, there are input scripts for floats, stations, model coupling, and data assimilation. Input format ASCII Other input format ASCII (input scripts), NetCDF (input fields). Describe output parameters There are hundreds of output parameters and fields that are written to several NetCDF files. Output format Other output format NetCDF, CF-convections. Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software Yes, ROMS I/O is via NetCDF and follows CF-standard conventions. Therefore, any visualization software for NetCDF files can be used for pre- and post-processing. Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Other visualization software Yes, a plotting package is provided. It uses the NCAR's graphics Library. Any visualization package for NetCDF files can be used, like IDL, Matlab, and others. Describe processes represented by the model ROMS resolved fast (gravity waves) and slow (Rossby waves) dynamics. Hydrostatic approximation but there is a nonhydrostatic version of ROMS. Describe key physical parameters and equations Navier-Stokes primitive equations. Bio-optical, biogeochemical, and ecosystem models equations. Cohesive and non cohesive sediment equations. Several vertical turbulece equations (KPP, GLS, MY-2.5). Air-Sea interaction coupling equations (COARE). Bottom boundary layer model equations. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Estuary, regional, and basin scales. There are couple of global applications. Describe time scale and resolution constraints Hours, days, seasons. It also can be used for climate research (decades). Describe any numerical limitations and issues ROMS has a predictior-corrector algorithm that is efficient and accuarate. This class of model (terrain-following) exhibits stronger sensitivity to topography which results in pressure gradient errors. ROMS has several pressure gradient algorithms that minimize this problem. Describe available calibration data sets There are several idealized and realistic test cases. Some of the idealized test cases have quasi-analytical solutions. Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets We have a website for test problems: http://marine.rutgers.edu/po/index.php?model=test-problems Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing We have test cases for both laboratory and field observations. In the past, we have used data from rotating tanks. Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? Yes, we work with several modeling groups around the world. Is there a manual available? Yes Upload manual if available: Model website if any https://www.myroms.org Model forum / discussion board Comments The documentation about ROMS can be found in WikiROMS: https://www.myroms.org/wiki There is a very active ROMS user's forum: https://www.myroms.org/forum NOTICE: REGISTRATION IS NEEDED TO RECEIVE THE SOURCE CODE: https://www.myroms.org/index.php?page=login This part will be filled out by CSDMS staff OpenMI compliant No but possible BMI compliant Yes WMT component Not yet"Not yet" is not in the list (Yes, In progress, No but possible, No not possible) of allowed values for the "Code CMT compliant or not" property.
