Australian Community Ocean Model (ACOM): a synthesis of Australian enhancements and additions to the GFDL Modular Ocean Model (MOM)

Updated: 2008-04-21

Australian Community Ocean Model (ACOM) is a synthesis of Australian enhancements and additions to the GFDL Modular Ocean Model (MOM). It is a collaborative project between interested ocean researchers in Australia from many organisations. Administration is by a committee of Australian ocean modellers, with source code management and storage by CSIRO Marine Research in Hobart, Tasmania. ACOM consists of the latest MOM code and database files as modified by Australian researchers. The number of different grids and configurations will grow as new model versions are submitted to the project. ACOM is freely available to any ocean modelers.
