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

Adaptive grid concepts have been applied to the Princeton Ocean Model (POM).

Original Paper for POM:

With adaptive mesh:

Hofmeister, Richard, Hans Burchard, and Jean-Marie Beckers. "Non-uniform adaptive vertical grids for 3D numerical ocean models." Ocean Modelling 33.1 (2010): 70-86.

    $\begingroup$ 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

    $\begingroup$ 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). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @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
