Zonally Averaged Ocean Model (ZOM)

ZOM is a zonally averaged ocean model based on the closure of Brüggemann et al. 2011 which is able to simulate the zonally integrated transport of a rectangular ocean basin and therefore can be seen as a simple model of e.g. the meridional overturning circulation.

A FORTRAN90 compiler, a MPI (1.0) library (for the parallelized version only) and a recent version of the NetCDF library will be needed. SPFLAME is known and preconfigured to run on NEC SX6/8, IBM pSeries/AIX, Linux with Intel (IA32/IA64) compiler and many other unix platforms.

Forcing datasets needed for generation of realistic setups and specific model configuration for SPFLAME are provided on request.
