ecological model

[redhat007]

1-Is the ROMS an ecological model, as well as oceanic model?
2- Can we simulate Nitrate, Phosphate, etc, circulations with ROMS?

ROMS includes some coupled ecological models in the source code (Fennel, ecosim, etc.). I know nitrate is in many of them, I don't know how many do phosphorus. It seems ecosim has a couple parameters related to it.

Hope this helps.

You should start with an NPZD model (for example, the Powell version) first and see how you do. Good luck.

The bio_toy test case allows you to run a 1d test case of the various biological models.

You can find the ROMS user guide here.
