Three-Dimensional Diagnostic Model For Baroclinic, Wind- Driven And Tidal Circulation In Shallow Seas: Fundy4 User's Manual

A 3-D diagnostic model for continental shelf circulation studies is described. The model solves the linearized shallow water equations, forced by tidal or other barotropic boundary conditions, wind, and/or density gradient, using linear Finite Elements. Solutions are obtained in the frequency domain; the limit of zero frequency represents the steady state. The overall organization of the FUNDY4 system is presented. Detailed specifications are provided for required data files and user- written FORTRAN subroutines. A comprehensive example is given. The model theory and numerical method are described in an appendix.
