Welcome to the Bottom RedOx model wiki!

Bottom RedOx Model(BROM) is a group of coupled benthic-pelagic models for simulation of water and sediment biogeochemistry. BROM is compatible with the Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models FABM.

It consists of transport models:

• BROM_transport
• SPBM - Sympagic Bethic Pelagic Model

and biogeochemical model:

• BROM_biogeochemistry

Case scenarios:

Case scenarios for different geographical positions are in repositories with names "data_Name_of_case"

1. Urmia lake data_urmia
2. Berre lagoon data_berre
3. Hardangerfjord data_hardangerfjord
4. Eastern Baltic Sea data_baltic
5. Lindesnes data_lindesnes
6. Laptev Sea, SPBM + BROM_biogeochemistry data_spbm_laptev

Published versions of the code:

• BROM_transport
• BROM_biogeochemistry
• SPBM

Since publications, the code has been significantly changed. Here are current versions of BROM_transport, BROM_biogeochemistry and SPBM.
