Model:QUODDY

QUODDY

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	3D
Spatial extent	Regional-Scale
Model domain	Coastal
One-line model description	A state-of-the-art finite-element computer simulation program for coastal ocean circulation modeling
Extended model description	The model is three-dimensional and fully nonlinear with a free surface, incorporates advanced turbulence closure, and operates in tidal time. Variable horizontal and vertical resolution are facilitated by the use of unstructured meshes of linear triangles in the horizontal, and structured linear elements in the vertical

Keywords:	coastal circulation,
