# T-UGOm 

T-UGOm (Toulouse Unstructured Grid Ocean model) is an model designed for 
modelling ocean tides and surges. It was part of the French national COMODO 
(community developments for ocean modeling) initiative.

T-UGOm is a 2D/3D ocean dynamics numerical model based on unstructured meshes. Its main distinctive features are:

-   Multi-discretisation capabilities (mostly LGP0, LGP1, NCP1, LGP2, continuous and discontinuous)
-   Finite volume and finite elements schemes
-   Explicit/semi-implicit tunable
-   Time step dynamical local sub-cycling embedded 2D/3D spectral solver for tides
-   Nudging capabilities
