Extended model description REF/DIF is a phase-resolving parabolic refraction-diffraction model for ocean surface wave propagation. It was originally developed by Jim Kirby and Tony Dalrymple starting in 1982, based on Kirby's dissertation work. This work led to the development of REF/DIF 1, a monochromatic wave model.

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 Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address http://falk.ucsd.edu/modeling/ Source csdms web address Program license type Other Program license type other GNU General Public License, Version 2 Memory requirements -- Typical run time -- Describe input parameters The input includes file names for output, subgrid information, physical parameters and wave conditions. Water depth is obtained from the master program though a file name for water depth input is still kept in "indat.dat". Input format Binary Other input format Describe output parameters Model output: Complex amplitude, Wave Heights and angles Radiation stresses and forcing terms Wave induced mass flux Velocity moments for bottom stress calculation Output format Binary Other output format Pre-processing software needed? Yes Describe pre-processing software In cases where the standard required the use of a non-typical format (as in the use of the machine-independent binary HDF formats for large arrays), then the data transfer to and from LRSS is handled using a pre- and post-processing layer. Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software In cases where the standard required the use of a non-typical format (as in the use of the machine-independent binary HDF formats for large arrays), then the data transfer to and from LRSS is handled using a pre- and post-processing layer. Visualization software needed? No If above answer is yes Other visualization software Describe processes represented by the model See manual version3 Describe key physical parameters and equations See manual version3 Describe length scale and resolution constraints Assumptions: The REF/DIF 1 model, in parabolic form, has a number of assumptions inherent in it and it is necessary to discuss these directly. These assumptions are: Mild bottom slope. Weak nonlinearity. The wave direction is confined to a sector ±70 ◦ to the principal assumed wave direction, due to the use of the minimax wide angle parabolic approximation of Kirby (1986b). Describe time scale and resolution constraints -- Describe any numerical limitations and issues -- 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 Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? -- Is there a manual available? Yes Upload manual if available: Media:REF-DIF users manual 1993.pdf, Media:Refdif1v30-2002.pdf Model website if any http://chinacat.coastal.udel.edu/programs/refdif/refdif.html Model forum / discussion board -- Comments Both codes are undergoing extensive revisions needed to incorporate them into the framework of the NearCoM Nearshore Community Model.
