pom

模擬內容主要有：潮流、風生流、混合層和躍層、熱鹽環流、海洋環流和輸運及與AGCM（大氣環流模式）和冰模式的耦合。

The Princeton Ocean Model (POM),a simple-to-run yet powerful ocean modeling code that is able to simulate a wide-range of problems: circulation and mixing processes in rivers, estuaries, shelf and slope, lakes, semi-enclosed seas and open and global ocean. POM is a sigma coordinate (terrain-following), free surface ocean model with embedded turbulence and wave sub-models, and wet-dry capability. POM has been and continues to be a pioneering force in ocean research and modeling due to the continued innovative improvements and new developments by its users.

如POM官網上的前言所述，POM是一個很容易上手而且適用性很廣的數值模型，河口、陸架、湖泊、半封閉海區和開闊大洋，用的是隨地形變化的sigma座標，還可以和波浪模型耦合，能模擬潮灘變邊界，現被廣泛運用在科學研究和實際應用中。

oey在台灣基於POM的並行版本開發了the Taiwan Ocean Prediction (TOP) system，為北太平洋區域提供業務化預報，已經進行科學研究。

POM用Fortran語言所寫，代碼簡潔，結構清晰，模型初學者可以考慮從POM開始學起。
