MAR 512: FVCOM: Algorithms and Training
Training in the use of the unstructured grid, Finite-Volume, Ocean Community Model (FVCOM). Lectures will cover dynamical principles used to develop advanced unstructured grid finite-volume ocean models with a focus on FVCOM, as well as practical training on how to configure FVCOM for various ocean application cases. The course consists of 13 lectures and 14 project assignments, which will be arranged weekly. Students will be expected to give a presentation summarizing their findings upon completion of each project. Additionally, the instructor will conduct virtual oral examinations with individual students to assess their achievements in the course.
