Short description: Prognostic, unstructured-grid, free-surface, 3-D primitive equation coastal ocean circulation model
File:Hypersaline sea surface release and propagation under tidal conditions in the northern North Sea-EmQv4qk0kUo.webm The Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM; Formerly Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model) is a prognostic, unstructured-grid, free-surface, 3-D primitive equation coastal ocean circulation model.[1] The model is developed primarily by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and used by researchers worldwide. Originally developed for the estuarine flooding/drying process, FVCOM has been upgraded to the spherical coordinate system for basin and global applications.
