Model:STSWM

STSWM

Also known as
Model type	Modular
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	Climate, Coastal, Marine
One-line model description	NCAR Spectral Transform Shallow Water Model
Extended model description	The model is related to the numerical solution of the shallow water equations in spherical geometry. The shallow water equations are used as a kernel for both oceanic and atmospheric general circulation models and are of interest in evaluating numerical methods for weather forecasting and climate modeling.
