'''Regional Ocean Modeling System''' (ROMS)''' is a free-surface, terrain-following, [[primitive equations]] ocean model widely used by the scientific community for a diverse range of applications. The model is developed and supported by researchers at the [[Rutgers University]], [[University of California Los Angeles]] and contributors worldwide.

ROMS is used to model how a given region of the ocean responds to physical forcings such as heating or wind. It can also be used to model how a given ocean system responds to inputs like sediment, freshwater, ice, or nutrients, requiring coupled models nested within the ROMS framework.
