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 Spatial dimensions 3D Spatial extent Model domain Marine One-line model description POM: Sigma coordinate coastal & basin circulation model Extended model 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.

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 -- 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 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. Notice: POM source code is freely available through the following website: http://www.aos.princeton.edu/WWWPUBLIC/htdocs.pom/FTPbackup/ No registration is needed. This part will be filled out by CSDMS staff OpenMI compliant No but possible BMI compliant No but possible WMT component No but possible PyMT component Is this a data component Can be coupled with:
