GNOME Location Files - Pacific Region
 |
Note: This desktop version of NOAA’s oil spill trajectory model, GNOME, has been replaced by a Web-based version, WebGNOME, part of the GNOME Suite of oil spill modeling tools. Desktop GNOME is not being maintained, and has not been updated since September 2019; however, it will still run on modern computers. OR&R continues to make it available with no expectation of usefulness or continued functionality. |
Along with these Location Files, you will find a short User's Guide and Example Problems for each location. Try working some of the examples to build your GNOME skills and learn to work with Location Files.
The GNOME Location Files have been compressed as self-extracting zip files so that they can be downloaded more easily from the Internet. [Need help with compressed files?]
