SeaGrid is a Matlab tool for generating curvilinear, orthogonal grids
for ROMS and POM. It shares some distant ancestry with gridpak, but
is interactive and bases its land mask on the coastline (usually
more accurate than the bathymetry).
We will present some grid generation basics, followed by a demo of
the SeaGrid package. The preparation of the coastline and bathymetry
files for your region of interest will also be described. These
files must be prepared before SeaGrid can be run in your domain of
interest.
