Scottish Shelf Model

Model description:
The Scottish Shelf Model (SSM) is a suite of hydrodynamic models focused on Scottish shelf waters. The suite of models comprises a large domain model covering UK waters with the Scottish coastline at high resolution, and a number of smaller domain models along the coastline. The development of the models was lead by Marine Scotland Science, with the initial development contracted out by the Scottish Government to CH2M Hill who worked on the project in conjunction with the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Liverpool. The project was completed at the start of 2016. Marine Scotland Science (MSS) is now the custodian of the SSM and is continuing to develop and integrate the models with their existing hydrodynamic models. The models, and the model outputs, are available to the wider marine science community.
