JMMP-Group/SEVERN-SWOT

NEMO regional configuration of the Severn Estuary

This model configuration has been developed in order to test the NEMO framework in a tidal coastal area at 500 m resolution (in preparation for the UK wide NEMO 500 m model development).

Model Summary

The model grid target resolution 500m; with 31 sigma vertical levels. Featuring:

• FES2014 tides
• ERA5 atmospheric forcing
• CMEMS open boundaries & Initial conditions
• Freshwater forcing
• Wetting and Drying
