Welcome to SHORECIRC home page. The development of the SHORECIRC (SC) model has been a longterm effort which started in 1992. The present version of the model is therefore the result of the joint efforts of many people whose contributions we gratefuly acknowledge. The first - very preliminary - version was developed by Uday Putrevu in 1992-93 when he worked as a post doctoral research assistant here at the Center for Applied Coastal Research after finishing his PhD degree. A much improved version was developed by Ap Van Dongeren (1997) and almost simutaneously further improvements were introduced by Francisco Sancho (1997), as part of their PhD work. Since then the present team of Kevin Haas, Qun Zhao and Ib Svendsen has introduced many further improvements and also tested the model further with continued valuable inputs from Uday Putrevu, Ap Van Dongeren and Francisco Sancho. Numerous improvements and contributions to the ongoing debugging and development of the model have come from Wenkai Qin, Junwoo Choi, Fengyan Shi, Bradley Johnson, and Jeremy Kalmbacher. The present version 2.0 of the model comes with a modified version of the REF/DIF1 as wave driver integrated into the model. However, James Kaihatu and has develpoed a version that uses REF/DIF-S to provide the wave data. Furthermore Fengyan Shi has developed a version of the model operating with non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate grids.
