Yes 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 CSDMS repository Source web address Source csdms web address Program license type Other Program license type other -- Memory requirements Usual PC Typical run time 2 hours for 1000 year run Describe input parameters Model setup: grid extent and resolution, time stepping and duration. Environmental inputs (from global datasets, automated methods): bathymetry, seawater bottom temperatures, benthic irradiance, seafloor hardness, ocean wave climate Organism characteristics (automated from Knowledge Base): dimensions, construction, reproduction and survivorship Input format ASCII, Binary Other input format Describe output parameters Benthic carbonate accumulation; sediment character and thickness; organism stocks and remains; environmental history; 2D-3D map graphics; graphs of stocks and vacant seafloor through time. Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? No If above answer is yes Other visualization software Describe processes represented by the model Population ecology represented by diffuse competition Lotke-Volterra calculus, cellular automaton, cellular stochastic models. Sediment transport arbitrated by slopes and wave energy pickup Bioerosion scaled to the seafloor presence of skeletal material Describe key physical parameters and equations Bathymetry, seawater temperatures, ocean wave climate, benthic irradiance, seafloor hardness Describe length scale and resolution constraints Cells are approximately 1-1000m in scale; map areas 10-100km on side. Describe time scale and resolution constraints Timestepping is usually annual, extending over 1000 years. However the model is capable of doing finer and longer runs. Describe any numerical limitations and issues Usual Python limitations on floating point precision. ODE's are solved on scales much finer than annual, and their performance is monitored. Describe available calibration data sets The model produces virtual core-logs which can be compared with Ocean Drilling Program and other descriptive core logs and with outcrops. 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? Yes Is there a manual available? Yes Upload manual if available: Model website if any Model forum / discussion board Comments Email to Chris.jenkins@colorado.edu for further details, manual, code, collaboration This part will be filled out by CSDMS staff OpenMI compliant No but possible BMI compliant No but possible 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.
