FESOM2 documentation

The Finite volumE Sea Ice-Ocean Model (FESOM2).

Multi-resolution ocean general circulation model that solves the equations of motion describing the ocean and sea ice using finite-volume methods on unstructured computational grids. The model is developed and supported by researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), in Bremerhaven, Germany.
