Development of Community Terrain-following Ocean Modeling System (TOMS)
2001 TOMS Inaugural Meeting, Boulder, CO, August 23
Purpose: An initiative to develop, evaluate, test and provide support to the terrain-following (sigma) ocean modeling community. This is a collaborative effort between two groups of community ocean models originated from Princeton and Rutgers Universities, and now in use by almost 1000 users worldwide. This web site will provide useful resources for the ocean modeling community, including supporting analysis codes, data assimilation, and updates on the future modeling system now under development.

Acknowledgements: This effort is supported by ONR, Ocean Modeling Program. Past and present model developments rely on important contributions from other institutions (e.g., Dynalysis, HydroQual & NRL for Princeton and UCLA for Rutgers).
