This tutorial will go over some of the basic steps to set up a ROMS realistic application (yet, this is a very simple one). This tutorial is also a demonstration of how to use EASYGRID, a "quick-and-dirty" matlab script to make ROMS grids and initialization files.
PREREQUISITES: This tutorial assumes that you have (1) downloaded ROMS, (2) installed it in your computer (or cluster), (3) tested it by compiling and running one of the included test cases, and (4) installed MEXNC, SNCTOOLS and the ROMS Matlab tool-kit. If you haven't done all the above, check the "Getting Started" and "Tutorials" WikiROMS sections.
Geographical Setting: This application is for Ship Harbour, an estuarine fjord in Nova Scotia, Canada. Click here to see the location in Google. Tides are semidiurnal and tidal range is 1.4 m on average and 2 m on spring tides. For now I will only include tidal forcing, however, there is a river at the uppermost end of the estuary, which discharges freshwater at an annual average rate of 18 m3 s-1. I plan to write another tutorial on how to add a river, but for now is only tides.
Ship Harbour has a shallow sill of approximately 7 m depth. Average depth of the inner basin is 15 m with a maximum of 25 m.
Grid Generation
The first step to set up a realistic application is to set up a realistic grid. There are several software packages to generate ROMS grids. Here I will use EASYGRID.
