This is alist ofocean circulation models, as used inphysical oceanography. Ocean circulation models can also be used to study chemical oceanography, biological oceanography, geological oceanography, and climate science.
Integrated ocean modeling systems use multiple coupled models. This coupling allows researchers to understand processes that happen among multiple systems that are usually modeled independently, such as the ocean, atmosphere, waves, and sediments. Integrated ocean modeling systems is helpful for specific regions: for example, the ESPreSSO model is used to study theMid-Atlantic Bight region. Integrated ocean modeling systems often use data frombuoys andweather stations for atmospheric forcing and boundary conditions. Two examples of integrated ocean modeling systems are:
COAWST:CoupledOceanAtmosphereWaveSedimentTransport Modeling System[6] (usesROMS as its ocean circulation component).[7]
ESPreSSO:ExperimentalSystem forPredictingShelf andSlopeOptics (usesROMS as its ocean circulation component).[8][9]
