Lake Jersey Refinement Example Introduction

Lake Jersey Nesting Refinement Example

Using the Lake Jersey test case, this example details many grid refinement configurations possible in ROMS.

Obtaining Test Cases

The test cases can be obtained using Subversion with the following command:

   svn checkout https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/test 

In this example we use files from the lake_jersey test case.

Nested Grid Locations

The labeled grids correspond to the example titles above. For Example, Lake Jersey ABDE is a multiple grid nesting setup using grids a, b, d, and e.

Lake Jersey Grid Information
Grid	Mesh Size	Refinement Factor(m)	Δx Δy
A	100x 80x8	-	500.0
B	66x99x8	1:3 from A	166.6
C	120x130x8	1:5 from A	100.0
D	114x60x8	1:3 from A	166.6
E	132x60x8	1:3 from D	55.5
