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.

The "Acronym 'ROMS' (a.k.a. Regional Oceanic Modeling System) was introduced by Dale Haidvogel in October 1998 during Davis Meeting" [1]
