Using wind data to model wind induced current when coupling ROMS and SWAN

#1 Unread post by leahstella »

I have a wave model in SWAN that I plan to couple with ROMS. As SWAN includes wave induced current I am wondering if this is built into ROMS when I couple the model or should I include the wind data in both of the models.
I am trying to use COAWST to do this but I may just do this completely in ROMS if constraints make this so.
Thanks,
Leah

Leah-
i am not completely clear of what you are saying. If you are looking to couple ROMS and SWAN, that has been accomplished. It has taken lots of work and many years. I would recommend you use the COAWST system here:

and read Kumar's paper:

as an explanation of the coupling.-j
