1.4 How this manual is organized
The table of contents serves as a detailed outline of what is
available within MOM. This manual consists the following parts.
- A brief history of ocean modelling at GFDL.
- The nuts and bolts of using MOM
- The basic formulation
- The code design
- Grids, Geometry, and Topography
- Boundary conditions
- Finite difference equations.
- Physics and numerics options
- Diagnostic options
- Appendices and references
The best way to digest this manual is in piecemeal fashion by bouncing
back and fourth between the table of contents and reading sections of
interest.
