FIO-AOW

Over the past few years, I have been working on development of this coupled model. FIO-AOW consists of atmoshpheric component WRF，ocean surface wave component MASNUM and ocean circulation components ROMS and POM. All the components are coupled together through C-Coupler. It should be noted that all the components are open source except MASNUM. The copyright for MASNUM is owned by FIO, and its use requires permission and approval. In FIO-AOW, the POM and MASNUM were speeded up through MPI technique by Wang et al. (2010). For more details about FIO-AOW, people could refer to the papers below:
