Would anyone know of references that give detailed explanations on concepts such as moving grids and nested grids in models?

1$\begingroup$ This is probably answerable as a request for a reference to a review article or textbook, but if you want a good answer here you may need to be much more specific. $\endgroup$– Semidiurnal SimonApr 24, 2015 at 10:12

$\begingroup$ @SimonW I agree. I just recently heard about nonstationary grids used in models, so I was just looking for something to read up on. I also found that the H*WRF documentation (emc.ncep.noaa.gov/HWRF/HWRFScientificDocumentation2013.pdf) contains a brief discussion on this as well. $\endgroup$– user4624937Apr 29, 2015 at 3:17

$\begingroup$ @IsopycnalOscillation no I was not aware of that site! Thanks for pointing that out. $\endgroup$– user4624937Apr 29, 2015 at 3:18

1$\begingroup$ Can you please comment which flavor of POM uses moving grids? The original variants by Mellor, Blumberg, Oey, etc., do not. $\endgroup$ Apr 28, 2015 at 4:33

1$\begingroup$ Moving grids are quite common in atmospheric applications (e.g., WRF), but in ocean applications adaptive meshes are only now being applied. An example that I like is Hofmeister et al., 2010 (dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2009.12.003). $\endgroup$– arkaiaApr 28, 2015 at 16:46

1$\begingroup$ @milancurcic It seems my notes are wrong. I was looking at old notes from my Ocean Modeling course and it was described as employing a moving grid. Looking at the original paper it clearly does not. The link by @@aretxabaleta shows an implementation of an adaptive/moving grid concept in POM which I will go ahead and include in the answer. $\endgroup$ Apr 28, 2015 at 17:40
