COHERENS: Modelling system for shallow waters
We're pleased to announce that the COHERENS web site has now been migrated to odnature.naturalsciences.be.
What's COHERENS?
COHERENS is a modelling system designed for a wide range of applications in coastal and shelf seas, estuaries, lakes and reservoirs. Its development is led by researchers at RBINS in collaboration with worldwide scientists. COHERENS is available to the scientific community as a free and well-documented open source code and is used by over 1600 researchers in 91 countries.
How is COHERENS used at OD Nature?
We have plenty of uses for COHERENS. It powers our operational oceanographic forecasts, is one of the models used in the framework of the EMoSEM (EU FP7 ERA-NET Seas-era) project, it helps us studying sediment transport in the Belgian coastal zone and has also been coupled to an oil spill model to develop our Oil Spill Evaluation and Response Integrated Tool. Many of these applications are currently being ported to odnature.naturalsciences.be — stay tuned!
You're free to download the code. An extensive documentation and a users forum are available.
