THE OBJECTIVE: Simulate the Mass Transport in the South of Mozambique

The Scientific Questions

What the model shows about the mass transport in the South of Mozambique?

What are the limitations and advantages of the model to this experiment?

What happens when we use different resolutions and different time steps?

The Conclusion

The ROMS can simulate mass transport along the ocean but we could not validate the results;

The model cant show clearly the direction of the mass transport;

Hi resolution low and midle resolution simulations have almost the same results but the isolines are quite different.
