Thematic domain analysis for ocean modeling

Ocean science is a discipline that employs ocean models as an essential research asset. Such scientific modeling provides mathematical abstractions of real-world systems, e.g., the oceans. These are then coded implementations abstractions. The developed software systems called system. To advance state in engineering such models, we intend to better understand how and maintained science. In this paper, present results semi-structured interviews Thematic Analysis~(TA) interview analyze domain modeling. Thereby, identified developer requirements impediments model development evolution, related themes. This analysis can help where methods from should be introduced which challenges need addressed. We suggest other researchers extend repeat our TA with developers engineers working domains further knowledge skills
