Source Code
This official community version of ROMS is developed and maintained at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA. Currently, ROMS source code is distributed using both Git and Subversion(SVN). However, starting January 1, 2025, ROMS will be exclusively distributed from its GitHub repository at https://github.com/myroms. Updating the SVN repositories at https://www.myroms.org will be discontinued but kept for historical reasons.
The ROMS framework is intended for users interested in ocean modeling. It requires an extensive background in ocean dynamics, numerical modeling, and computers to configure, run, and analyze the results to ensure you get the correct solution for your application. Therefore, we highly recommend users register at https://www.myroms.org and set up a username and password to access the ROMS forum, email notifications for bugs/updates, technical support from the community, trac code maintenance history, tutorials, workshops, and publications. The User's ROMS forum has over 24,000 posts with helpful information. Technical support is limited to registered users. We do not provide user technical support, usage, or answers in GitHub.
The ROMS GitHub repository also has its own wiki at https://github.com/myroms/roms/wiki with useful information and instructions. This GitHub version becomes the official Git repository for downloading, updating, improving, and correcting defects/bugs in the ROMS source code. Also, it is the version used in the ROMS-JEDI interface hosted at https://github.com/JCSDA-internal, which is currently private.
Note: GitHub nowadays requires two-factor authentication!
