The ROMS modeling system has been coupled to other fully developed models to provide increased modeling capabilites. For the coupling, we are using the Model Coupling Toolkit. Other couplers may be added as the model interfaces are developed.

The current release of ROMS includes 2-way coupling to the wave model SWAN. For coupling to SWAN, the transferred fields are: 

 Fields acquired from the WAVE Model:                                !
                                                                     !
    * Dwave      Wave direction.                                     !
    * Hwave      Wave height.                                        !
    * Lwave      Wave length.                                        !
    * Pwave_bot  Wave bottom period.                                 !
    * Pwave_top  Wave surface period.                                !
    * Wave_break Percent of breakig waves.                           !
    * Wave_dissip Wave energy dissipation.                           !
                                                                     !
 Fields sent to the WAVE Model:                                      !
                                                                     !
    * ubar       Depth integrated xi-direction velocity.             !
    * vbar       Depth integrated eta-direction velocity.            !
    * zeta       Water surface elevation.                            !
    * h          Bottom elevation.                                   !


For coupling to the Atmospheric Model WRF, (currently being tested, to be released in the future), the transferred fields are: 

 Fields sent to the OCEAN Model:                                     !
                                                                     !
    * PSFC       Surface atmospheric pressure  (mb)                  !
    * RELH       Surface air relative humidity (-)                   !
    * T2         Surface 2m air temperature    (degC)                !
    * U10        U-Wind speed at 10 m          (m/s)                 !
    * V10        V-Wind speed at 10 m          (m/s)                 !
    * CLDFRA     Cloud fraction                (percent/100, so 0-1) !
    * RAIN       Precipitation                 (kg/m2/s)             !
    * SWDOWN     Short wave radiation          (Celsius m/s)         !
    * GLW        Long wave raditaion           (Celsius m/s)         !
    * USTRESS    Surface u-stress              (m2/s2)               !
    * VSTRESS    Surface v-stress              (m2/s2)               !
