ChesROMS Community ModelChesROMS Community Model✦ ROMS 3.0
✦ Curvilinear Horizontally
✦ σ-coordinate Vertically
✦ Includes major tributaries
✦ Coarse mesh for model development (100*150*20)
✦ Forcing: Tides, Winds, Heat Fluxes and Rivers
✦ Validated Physical Model w/ 15-Year Hindcast (Xu et al., accepted)
✦ Currently expanding the biogeochemical model
✦ Goal: Improved Simulation of BGC processes & Water Quality Fields
✦ Use Output to inform Ecological Models (HABs, pathogens, etc.)
✦ Open Source Available at:
