We compare two semi-implicit models with topography-following coordinates for the solution of the shallow water equations. The models are identical in horizontal representation, but model A applies a vertical finite difference method and model B a vertical spectral method. Convergence, stability, an
We present a three-dimensional numerical model for the shallow water equations, suitable for determining the wind driven currents in homogeneous and stratified lakes. The model is based on the semispectral primitive equation model (SPEM) originally developed by Haidvogel et al.; however, because of
The capacitance matrix method has been implemented in a primitive equation ocean model to accommodate islands and portions of irregular coastal boundaries that cannot be treated adequately by boundary-fitted orthogonal curvilinear co-ordinates. The algorithm preserves the ability to solve the stream
To study the feasibility of using the finite elements method for ocean modelling, a quasi-geostrophic eddy resolving general circulation model has been driven, using either a classical finite differences technique or a finite elements technique. This feasibility has been clearly demonstrated, and a
