Scripps Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Regional (SCOAR) Model
The Scripps Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Regional (SCOAR) modeling system integrates WRF, ROMS, and WW3 using the COARE 3.5 bulk flux algorithm, implemented within the WRF surface-layer module. These open-source models can be accessed through their respective repositories:
- WRF: https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF
- ROMS: https://github.com/kshedstrom/roms
- WW3: https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/WW3

SCOAR Model Coupler
The SCOAR model coupler is a versatile and efficient tool for managing input-output files, offering the following features:
- A 2-D online smoothing mechanism for interactive eddy filtering.
- Multiple options for atmosphere-wave and wave-ocean coupling strategies.
- Revised versions of the latest COARE wave-based bulk flux algorithms, designed to account for sea-state impacts on air-sea fluxes under different regimes.
The SCOAR source code is publicly available on GitHub: SCOAR Repository.
Applications
The SCOAR system has been extensively used to study the physics and impacts of air-sea-wave interactions in various regions. For more information, visit:
