Notes:
The Sandia ocean modelling system (SOMS) is a system of three-dimensional, fully conservative, partially implicit numerical models based on primitive equations and a staggered Arakawa ‘c’ grid. A thin-shell bottom boundary layer submodel coupled to a free-stream submodel resolves boundary layers together with realistic topography. Both submodels use stretched vertical co-ordinates and an optional Mellor-Yamada level-2·5 turbulence closure. Rigid top pressures are determined by vertical integration of the conservation equations using a hydrostatic approximation. SOMS reproduces previously published results, but with notable advantages in speed and economy.
