On the Application and Evaluation of the Relocatable Diecast Ocean Circulation Model in Coastal and Semi-Enclosed Seas
To improve coastal and semi-enclosed seas modeling, a new DieCAST ocean Model has been developed. In application to the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), this model gives remarkably similar results to that obtained from the Sandia Ocean Model System (SOMS) and at a computational speed much faster than SOMS or o...
