Description: NearCoM predicts waves, currents, sediment transport and bathymetric change in the nearshore ocean, between the shoreline and about 10 m water depth. The model consists of a "backbone", i.e., the master program, handling data input and output as well as internal storage, together with a suite of "modules": wave module, circulation module and sediment transport module. Technical information Supported platforms: UNIX, Linux Programming language: Fortran77, Fortran90 Model development started at: 1999 and ended in 2004. To what degree will the model become available: Source code will be available Current license type: GPL v2 Memory requirements: -- Typical run time: -- Input / Output description Input parameters: See documentation. Input format: ASCII Output parameters: See documentation. Output format: ASCII Post-processing software (if needed): No Visualization software (if needed): Yes, Matlab Process description Processes represented by model: NearCoM predicts surface waves and wave-induced nearshore processes such as nearshore circulation, sediment transport and morphological changes. Key physical parameters & equations: Wave equations, wave-averaged circulation equations and equations for bedload and suspended-load sediment transport. Length scale & resolution constraints: Nearshore regions from shoreline to 10 meter water depth. Model resolution depends on specific modules. Time scale & resolution constraints: Hours to months.
