Generalized Environmental Modeling System for Surfacewaters (GEMSS®)

Good News for Environmental-science researchers!

The Surfacewater Modeling Group has encapsulated many of its analysis techniques in the software system GEMSS® (Generalized Environmental Modeling System for Surfacewaters). At the heart of the system are four hydrodynamic modules: the 3-D model GLLVHT (z-grid and sigma-grid), the 2-D longitudinal-vertical model CE-QUAL-W2, the 1-D model GLHT, and the 0-D (fully-mixed) model RTC.

In addition, GEMSS® includes the following constituent modules:

Water Quality Module - WQM

Sediment Transport Module - STM

Toxics Module - TOX

Particle Tracking Module - PTM

Chemical and Oil Spill Impact Module - COSIM

Thermal Analysis Module - TAM

Generalized Bacterial Module - GBM

Generalized Algal Module - GAM

Entrainment Module - ENM
