HOWTO FABM

GETM can act as hydrodynamic host for biogechmical models integrated in the Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models (FABM).

HOWTO flexible output

GETM offers two ways to configure the output: an old Fortran namelist based method in getm.inp, and a more flexible output system via output.yaml.

HOWTO initialization

GETM can be initialized with constant values, laterally homogenuous vertical profiles, and 3D fields.

HOWTO meteo

GETM supports different kinds of meteorological forcing.

HOWTO open boundaries

GETM is not limited to have the open boundaries at the edges of the topo.nc but defines boundaries as western, northern, eastern and southern (not the real geographic orientation, but orientation on a printout) boundary sections which can be locatede inside the domain. The boundary sections are defined in the bdyinfo.dat file.

HOWTO rivers

GETM supports rivers with time-varying discharge and water properties. The general behaviour of rivers is set with the parameters from the rivers namelist in getm.inp.
