Regional Ocean Modeling System

The Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is a computer program that simulates ocean behavior in specific areas. It uses mathematical equations to predict how water moves, how temperatures change, and how currents, tides, and waves interact. Scientists use ROMS to understand regional ocean processes, support maritime activities, study climate impacts, and assist in environmental management. By inputting real-world data and setting boundaries, ROMS provides detailed, localized insights into ocean dynamics, helping us better comprehend and protect our marine environments.
