A description of a three-dimensional coastal ocean circulation model

The potential impact of an inter-basin water transfer project on nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) and chlorophyll a of the receiving water system

“…The EFDC is an integrated modeling system that has been widely used for a wide range of environmental studies including simulating hydrodynamics, thermal stratification, water age, transport, Langrangian particle tracers and eutrophication processes in rivers, lakes, estuaries, reservoirs, wetlands and coastal regions (Çalışkan and Elçi, 2009;Gong et al, 2009;Hamrick, 1992;He et al, 2011;Li et al, 2009a;Li et al, 2013). The hydrodynamics of the EFDC is based on the Princeton Ocean Model (Blumberg and Mellor, 1987). The mass balance equation for each of the water quality state variables in the EFDC may be expressed as (Wu and Xu, 2011):…”

Assessment of Tc-99 monitoring within the western Irish Sea using a numerical model

“…The hydrodynamic module of the model is essentially the same as widely known Princeton Ocean Model (POM) model (Blumberg and Mellor, 1987;Mellor, 2001). The model equations were solved using a finite difference method and the outputs are time-dependent distributions of: water levels, three components of velocity, temperatures, salinities, tracers, turbulence kinetic energy and turbulence macroscale.…”

Drift characteristics of green macroalgae in the Yellow Sea in 2008 and 2010

“…The MASNUM (Key Laboratory of Marine Sciences and Numerical Modeling, State Oceanic Administration) wave-tide-circulation coupled model was used in this study. The ocean component of the coupled model is based on the Princeton Ocean Model (POM; [12,13]), and the wave component is the MASNUM wave model [14,15]. The model domain covers the geographical area (15°-41°N, 105°-135°E) with a horizontal resolution of (1/24)°×(1/24)° and 30 sigma layers in the vertical.…”
