| 33 | The ocean needs seven fields as surface boundary condition: |
---|
| 34 | |
---|
[994] | 35 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
[12143] | 36 | \item the two components of the surface ocean stress $\left( {\tau_u \;,\;\tau_v} \right)$ |
---|
| 37 | \item the incoming solar and non solar heat fluxes $\left( {Q_{ns} \;,\;Q_{sr} } \right)$ |
---|
| 38 | \item the surface freshwater budget $\left( {\textit{emp}} \right)$ |
---|
| 39 | \item the surface salt flux associated with freezing/melting of seawater $\left( {\textit{sfx}} \right)$ |
---|
| 40 | \item the atmospheric pressure at the ocean surface $\left( p_a \right)$ |
---|
[994] | 41 | \end{itemize} |
---|
[12143] | 42 | |
---|
| 43 | Four different ways are available to provide the seven fields to the ocean. They are controlled by |
---|
| 44 | namelist \nam{sbc}{sbc} variables: |
---|
| 45 | |
---|
[2349] | 46 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
[12143] | 47 | \item a bulk formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk} with four possible bulk algorithms), |
---|
| 48 | \item a flux formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}), |
---|
| 49 | \item a coupled or mixed forced/coupled formulation (exchanges with a atmospheric model via the OASIS coupler), |
---|
| 50 | (\np{ln_cpl}{ln\_cpl} or \np[=.true.]{ln_mixcpl}{ln\_mixcpl}), |
---|
| 51 | \item a user defined formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_usr}{ln\_usr}). |
---|
[2349] | 52 | \end{itemize} |
---|
[707] | 53 | |
---|
[12143] | 54 | The frequency at which the forcing fields have to be updated is given by the \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} namelist parameter. |
---|
[6289] | 55 | |
---|
[12143] | 56 | When the fields are supplied from data files (bulk, flux and mixed formulations), |
---|
| 57 | the input fields do not need to be supplied on the model grid. |
---|
| 58 | Instead, a file of coordinates and weights can be supplied to map the data from the input fields grid to |
---|
[10354] | 59 | the model points (so called "Interpolation on the Fly", see \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}). |
---|
[12143] | 60 | If the "Interpolation on the Fly" option is used, input data belonging to land points (in the native grid) |
---|
| 61 | should be masked or filled to avoid spurious results in proximity of the coasts, as |
---|
[10354] | 62 | large sea-land gradients characterize most of the atmospheric variables. |
---|
[6289] | 63 | |
---|
[10354] | 64 | In addition, the resulting fields can be further modified using several namelist options. |
---|
[12143] | 65 | These options control: |
---|
| 66 | |
---|
[6289] | 67 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
[12143] | 68 | \item the rotation of vector components supplied relative to an east-north coordinate system onto |
---|
| 69 | the local grid directions in the model, |
---|
| 70 | \item the use of a land/sea mask for input fields (\np[=.true.]{nn_lsm}{nn\_lsm}), |
---|
| 71 | \item the addition of a surface restoring term to observed SST and/or SSS (\np[=.true.]{ln_ssr}{ln\_ssr}), |
---|
| 72 | \item the modification of fluxes below ice-covered areas (using climatological ice-cover or a sea-ice model) |
---|
| 73 | (\np[=0..3]{nn_ice}{nn\_ice}), |
---|
| 74 | \item the addition of river runoffs as surface freshwater fluxes or lateral inflow (\np[=.true.]{ln_rnf}{ln\_rnf}), |
---|
| 75 | \item the addition of ice-shelf melting as lateral inflow (parameterisation) or |
---|
| 76 | as fluxes applied at the land-ice ocean interface (\np[=.true.]{ln_isf}{ln\_isf}), |
---|
| 77 | \item the addition of a freshwater flux adjustment in order to avoid a mean sea-level drift |
---|
| 78 | (\np[=0..2]{nn_fwb}{nn\_fwb}), |
---|
| 79 | \item the transformation of the solar radiation (if provided as daily mean) into an analytical diurnal cycle |
---|
| 80 | (\np[=.true.]{ln_dm2dc}{ln\_dm2dc}), |
---|
| 81 | \item the activation of wave effects from an external wave model (\np[=.true.]{ln_wave}{ln\_wave}), |
---|
| 82 | \item a neutral drag coefficient is read from an external wave model (\np[=.true.]{ln_cdgw}{ln\_cdgw}), |
---|
| 83 | \item the Stokes drift from an external wave model is accounted for (\np[=.true.]{ln_sdw}{ln\_sdw}), |
---|
| 84 | \item the choice of the Stokes drift profile parameterization (\np[=0..2]{nn_sdrift}{nn\_sdrift}), |
---|
| 85 | \item the surface stress given to the ocean is modified by surface waves (\np[=.true.]{ln_tauwoc}{ln\_tauwoc}), |
---|
| 86 | \item the surface stress given to the ocean is read from an external wave model (\np[=.true.]{ln_tauw}{ln\_tauw}), |
---|
| 87 | \item the Stokes-Coriolis term is included (\np[=.true.]{ln_stcor}{ln\_stcor}), |
---|
| 88 | \item the light penetration in the ocean (\np[=.true.]{ln_traqsr}{ln\_traqsr} with namelist \nam{tra_qsr}{tra\_qsr}), |
---|
| 89 | \item the atmospheric surface pressure gradient effect on ocean and ice dynamics (\np[=.true.]{ln_apr_dyn}{ln\_apr\_dyn} with namelist \nam{sbc_apr}{sbc\_apr}), |
---|
| 90 | \item the effect of sea-ice pressure on the ocean (\np[=.true.]{ln_ice_embd}{ln\_ice\_embd}). |
---|

---|
[707] | 92 | |
---|
[12143] | 93 | In this chapter, we first discuss where the surface boundary conditions appear in the model equations. |
---|
| 94 | Then we present the three ways of providing the surface boundary conditions, |
---|
| 95 | followed by the description of the atmospheric pressure and the river runoff. |
---|
| 96 | Next, the scheme for interpolation on the fly is described. |
---|
[2282] | 97 | Finally, the different options that further modify the fluxes applied to the ocean are discussed. |
---|
[12143] | 98 | One of these is modification by icebergs (see \autoref{sec:SBC_ICB_icebergs}), |
---|
[10354] | 99 | which act as drifting sources of fresh water. |
---|
[12143] | 100 | Another example of modification is that due to the ice shelf melting/freezing (see \autoref{sec:SBC_isf}), |
---|
[5120] | 101 | which provides additional sources of fresh water. |

[707] | 104 | \section{Surface boundary condition for the ocean} |
---|
[12143] | 105 | \label{sec:SBC_ocean} |
---|
[707] | 106 | |
---|
[10354] | 107 | The surface ocean stress is the stress exerted by the wind and the sea-ice on the ocean. |
---|
| 108 | It is applied in \mdl{dynzdf} module as a surface boundary condition of the computation of |
---|
[12143] | 109 | the momentum vertical mixing trend (see \autoref{eq:DYN_zdf_sbc} in \autoref{sec:DYN_zdf}). |
---|
[10354] | 110 | As such, it has to be provided as a 2D vector interpolated onto the horizontal velocity ocean mesh, |
---|
[12143] | 111 | \ie\ resolved onto the model (\textbf{i},\textbf{j}) direction at $u$- and $v$-points. |
---|
[707] | 112 | |
---|
[10354] | 113 | The surface heat flux is decomposed into two parts, a non solar and a solar heat flux, |
---|
| 114 | $Q_{ns}$ and $Q_{sr}$, respectively. |
---|
| 115 | The former is the non penetrative part of the heat flux |
---|
[12143] | 116 | (\ie\ the sum of sensible, latent and long wave heat fluxes plus |
---|
| 117 | the heat content of the mass exchange between the ocean and sea-ice). |
---|
[10354] | 118 | It is applied in \mdl{trasbc} module as a surface boundary condition trend of |
---|
| 119 | the first level temperature time evolution equation |
---|
[12143] | 120 | (see \autoref{eq:TRA_sbc} and \autoref{eq:TRA_sbc_lin} in \autoref{subsec:TRA_sbc}). |
---|
[10354] | 121 | The latter is the penetrative part of the heat flux. |
---|
[12143] | 122 | It is applied as a 3D trend of the temperature equation (\mdl{traqsr} module) when |
---|
| 123 | \np[=.true.]{ln_traqsr}{ln\_traqsr}. |
---|
[10354] | 124 | The way the light penetrates inside the water column is generally a sum of decreasing exponentials |
---|
[12143] | 125 | (see \autoref{subsec:TRA_qsr}). |
---|
[707] | 126 | |
---|
[6289] | 127 | The surface freshwater budget is provided by the \textit{emp} field. |
---|
[10354] | 128 | It represents the mass flux exchanged with the atmosphere (evaporation minus precipitation) and |
---|
| 129 | possibly with the sea-ice and ice shelves (freezing minus melting of ice). |
---|
[12143] | 130 | It affects the ocean in two different ways: |
---|
| 131 | $(i)$ it changes the volume of the ocean, and therefore appears in the sea surface height equation as %GS: autoref ssh equation to be added |
---|
| 132 | a volume flux, and |
---|
[10354] | 133 | $(ii)$ it changes the surface temperature and salinity through the heat and salt contents of |
---|
[12143] | 134 | the mass exchanged with atmosphere, sea-ice and ice shelves. |

[9393] | 179 | \section{Input data generic interface} |
---|
[9407] | 180 | \label{sec:SBC_input} |
---|
[2541] | 181 | |
---|
[10354] | 182 | A generic interface has been introduced to manage the way input data |
---|
[12143] | 183 | (2D or 3D fields, like surface forcing or ocean T and S) are specified in \NEMO. |
---|
| 184 | This task is achieved by \mdl{fldread}. |
---|
| 185 | The module is designed with four main objectives in mind: |
---|
[10354] | 186 | \begin{enumerate} |
---|
[12143] | 187 | \item optionally provide a time interpolation of the input data every specified model time-step, whatever their input frequency is, |
---|
[10354] | 188 | and according to the different calendars available in the model. |
---|
[12143] | 189 | \item optionally provide an on-the-fly space interpolation from the native input data grid to the model grid. |
---|
| 190 | \item make the run duration independent from the period cover by the input files. |
---|
| 191 | \item provide a simple user interface and a rather simple developer interface by |
---|
| 192 | limiting the number of prerequisite informations. |
---|
| 193 | \end{enumerate} |
---|
[2541] | 194 | |
---|
[12143] | 195 | As a result, the user has only to fill in for each variable a structure in the namelist file to |
---|
[10354] | 196 | define the input data file and variable names, the frequency of the data (in hours or months), |
---|
| 197 | whether its is climatological data or not, the period covered by the input file (one year, month, week or day), |
---|
[12143] | 198 | and three additional parameters for the on-the-fly interpolation. |
---|
[10354] | 199 | When adding a new input variable, the developer has to add the associated structure in the namelist, |
---|
| 200 | read this information by mirroring the namelist read in \rou{sbc\_blk\_init} for example, |
---|
| 201 | and simply call \rou{fld\_read} to obtain the desired input field at the model time-step and grid points. |
---|
[2541] | 202 | |
---|
[12143] | 203 | The only constraints are that the input file is a NetCDF file, the file name follows a nomenclature |
---|
[10354] | 204 | (see \autoref{subsec:SBC_fldread}), the period it cover is one year, month, week or day, and, |
---|
| 205 | if on-the-fly interpolation is used, a file of weights must be supplied (see \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}). |
---|
[2541] | 206 | |
---|
[10354] | 207 | Note that when an input data is archived on a disc which is accessible directly from the workspace where |
---|
[12143] | 208 | the code is executed, then the user can set the \np{cn_dir}{cn\_dir} to the pathway leading to the data. |
---|
| 209 | By default, the data are assumed to be in the same directory as the executable, so that cn\_dir='./'. |

[12143] | 253 | \item [Record frequency]: the frequency of the records contained in the input file. |
---|
[10354] | 254 | Its unit is in hours if it is positive (for example 24 for daily forcing) or in months if negative |
---|
| 255 | (for example -1 for monthly forcing or -12 for annual forcing). |
---|
[12143] | 256 | Note that this frequency must REALLY be an integer and not a real. |
---|
| 257 | On some computers, setting it to '24.' can be interpreted as 240! |
---|
| 258 | \item [Variable name]: the name of the variable to be read in the input NetCDF file. |
---|
| 259 | \item [Time interpolation]: a logical to activate, or not, the time interpolation. |
---|
[10354] | 260 | If set to 'false', the forcing will have a steplike shape remaining constant during each forcing period. |
---|
| 261 | For example, when using a daily forcing without time interpolation, the forcing remaining constant from |
---|
| 262 | 00h00'00'' to 23h59'59". |
---|
| 263 | If set to 'true', the forcing will have a broken line shape. |
---|
[12143] | 264 | Records are assumed to be dated at the middle of the forcing period. |
---|
[10354] | 265 | For example, when using a daily forcing with time interpolation, |
---|
[12143] | 266 | linear interpolation will be performed between mid-day of two consecutive days. |
---|
| 267 | \item [Climatological forcing]: a logical to specify if a input file contains climatological forcing which can be cycle in time, |
---|
[10354] | 268 | or an interannual forcing which will requires additional files if |
---|
[12143] | 269 | the period covered by the simulation exceeds the one of the file. |
---|
| 270 | See the above file naming strategy which impacts the expected name of the file to be opened. |

[10354] | 272 | Four cases are coded: |
---|
| 273 | 'daily', 'weekLLL' (with 'LLL' the first 3 letters of the first day of the week), 'monthly' and 'yearly' which |
---|
| 274 | means the forcing files will contain data for one day, one week, one month or one year. |
---|
| 275 | Files are assumed to contain data from the beginning of the open/close period. |
---|
| 276 | For example, the first record of a yearly file containing daily data is Jan 1st even if |
---|
[12143] | 277 | the experiment is not starting at the beginning of the year. |
---|
| 278 | \item [Others]: 'weights filename', 'pairing rotation' and 'land/sea mask' are associated with |
---|
[10354] | 279 | on-the-fly interpolation which is described in \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}. |
---|
[2541] | 280 | \end{description} |
---|
| 281 | |
---|
| 282 | Additional remarks:\\ |
---|
[10354] | 283 | (1) The time interpolation is a simple linear interpolation between two consecutive records of the input data. |
---|
| 284 | The only tricky point is therefore to specify the date at which we need to do the interpolation and |
---|
| 285 | the date of the records read in the input files. |
---|
[11123] | 286 | Following \citet{leclair.madec_OM09}, the date of a time step is set at the middle of the time step. |
---|
[12143] | 287 | For example, for an experiment starting at 0h00'00" with a one-hour time-step, |
---|
[2541] | 288 | a time interpolation will be performed at the following time: 0h30'00", 1h30'00", 2h30'00", etc. |
---|
[10354] | 289 | However, for forcing data related to the surface module, |
---|
[12143] | 290 | values are not needed at every time-step but at every \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step. |
---|
| 291 | For example with \np[=3]{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc}, the surface module will be called at time-steps 1, 4, 7, etc. |
---|
| 292 | The date used for the time interpolation is thus redefined to the middle of \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step period. |
---|
| 293 | In the previous example, this leads to: 1h30'00", 4h30'00", 7h30'00", etc. \\ |
---|
[10354] | 294 | (2) For code readablility and maintenance issues, we don't take into account the NetCDF input file calendar. |
---|
| 295 | The calendar associated with the forcing field is build according to the information provided by |
---|
| 296 | user in the record frequency, the open/close frequency and the type of temporal interpolation. |
---|
| 297 | For example, the first record of a yearly file containing daily data that will be interpolated in time is assumed to |
---|
[12143] | 298 | start Jan 1st at 12h00'00" and end Dec 31st at 12h00'00". \\ |
---|
[10354] | 299 | (3) If a time interpolation is requested, the code will pick up the needed data in the previous (next) file when |
---|
| 300 | interpolating data with the first (last) record of the open/close period. |
---|
[12143] | 301 | For example, if the input file specifications are ''yearly, containing daily data to be interpolated in time'', |
---|
[10354] | 302 | the values given by the code between 00h00'00" and 11h59'59" on Jan 1st will be interpolated values between |
---|
| 303 | Dec 31st 12h00'00" and Jan 1st 12h00'00". |
---|
| 304 | If the forcing is climatological, Dec and Jan will be keep-up from the same year. |
---|
| 305 | However, if the forcing is not climatological, at the end of |
---|
[12143] | 306 | the open/close period, the code will automatically close the current file and open the next one. |
---|
[10354] | 307 | Note that, if the experiment is starting (ending) at the beginning (end) of |
---|
[12143] | 308 | an open/close period, we do accept that the previous (next) file is not existing. |
---|
[10354] | 309 | In this case, the time interpolation will be performed between two identical values. |
---|
| 310 | For example, when starting an experiment on Jan 1st of year Y with yearly files and daily data to be interpolated, |
---|
| 311 | we do accept that the file related to year Y-1 is not existing. |
---|
| 312 | The value of Jan 1st will be used as the missing one for Dec 31st of year Y-1. |
---|
[12143] | 313 | If the file of year Y-1 exists, the code will read its last record. |
---|
[10354] | 314 | Therefore, this file can contain only one record corresponding to Dec 31st, |
---|
| 315 | a useful feature for user considering that it is too heavy to manipulate the complete file for year Y-1. |

---|
[9407] | 319 | \label{subsec:SBC_iof} |
---|
[2541] | 320 | |
---|
[10354] | 321 | Interpolation on the Fly allows the user to supply input files required for the surface forcing on |
---|
| 322 | grids other than the model grid. |
---|
[12143] | 323 | To do this, he or she must supply, in addition to the source data file(s), a file of weights to be used to |
---|
[10354] | 324 | interpolate from the data grid to the model grid. |
---|
| 325 | The original development of this code used the SCRIP package |
---|
| 326 | (freely available \href{http://climate.lanl.gov/Software/SCRIP}{here} under a copyright agreement). |
---|
[12143] | 327 | In principle, any package such as CDO can be used to generate the weights, but the variables in |
---|
[10354] | 328 | the input weights file must have the same names and meanings as assumed by the model. |
---|
[12143] | 329 | Two methods are currently available: bilinear and bicubic interpolations. |
---|
[10354] | 330 | Prior to the interpolation, providing a land/sea mask file, the user can decide to remove land points from |
---|
| 331 | the input file and substitute the corresponding values with the average of the 8 neighbouring points in |
---|
| 332 | the native external grid. |
---|
| 333 | Only "sea points" are considered for the averaging. |
---|
| 334 | The land/sea mask file must be provided in the structure associated with the input variable. |
---|
[12143] | 335 | The netcdf land/sea mask variable name must be 'LSM' and must have the same horizontal and vertical dimensions as |
---|
| 336 | the associated variables and should be equal to 1 over land and 0 elsewhere. |
---|
| 337 | The procedure can be recursively applied by setting nn\_lsm > 1 in namsbc namelist. |
---|
| 338 | Note that nn\_lsm=0 forces the code to not apply the procedure, even if a land/sea mask file is supplied. |
---|

[9393] | 341 | \subsubsection{Bilinear interpolation} |
---|
[9407] | 342 | \label{subsec:SBC_iof_bilinear} |
---|
[2541] | 343 | |
---|
[10354] | 344 | The input weights file in this case has two sets of variables: |
---|
| 345 | src01, src02, src03, src04 and wgt01, wgt02, wgt03, wgt04. |
---|
[12143] | 346 | The "src" variables correspond to the point in the input grid to which the weight "wgt" is applied. |
---|
[10354] | 347 | Each src value is an integer corresponding to the index of a point in the input grid when |
---|
| 348 | written as a one dimensional array. |
---|
| 349 | For example, for an input grid of size 5x10, point (3,2) is referenced as point 8, since (2-1)*5+3=8. |
---|
[2541] | 350 | There are four of each variable because bilinear interpolation uses the four points defining |
---|
| 351 | the grid box containing the point to be interpolated. |
---|
[10354] | 352 | All of these arrays are on the model grid, so that values src01(i,j) and wgt01(i,j) are used to |
---|
| 353 | generate a value for point (i,j) in the model. |
---|
[2541] | 354 | |
---|
| 355 | Symbolically, the algorithm used is: |
---|
[10414] | 356 | \[ |
---|
| 357 | f_{m}(i,j) = f_{m}(i,j) + \sum_{k=1}^{4} {wgt(k)f(idx(src(k)))} |
---|
| 358 | \] |
---|
[2541] | 359 | where function idx() transforms a one dimensional index src(k) into a two dimensional index, |
---|
| 360 | and wgt(1) corresponds to variable "wgt01" for example. |
---|
| 361 | |
---|
[12143] | 362 | %% ================================================================================================= |
---|
[9393] | 363 | \subsubsection{Bicubic interpolation} |
---|
[9407] | 364 | \label{subsec:SBC_iof_bicubic} |
---|
[2541] | 365 | |
---|
[12143] | 366 | Again, there are two sets of variables: "src" and "wgt". |
---|
| 367 | But in this case, there are 16 of each. |
---|
[2541] | 368 | The symbolic algorithm used to calculate values on the model grid is now: |
---|
| 369 | |
---|
[10414] | 370 | \[ |
---|
| 371 | \begin{split} |
---|
| 372 | f_{m}(i,j) = f_{m}(i,j) +& \sum_{k=1}^{4} {wgt(k)f(idx(src(k)))} |
---|
[12143] | 373 | + \sum_{k=5 }^{8 } {wgt(k)\left.\frac{\partial f}{\partial i}\right| _{idx(src(k))} } \\ |
---|
| 374 | +& \sum_{k=9 }^{12} {wgt(k)\left.\frac{\partial f}{\partial j}\right| _{idx(src(k))} } |
---|
| 375 | + \sum_{k=13}^{16} {wgt(k)\left.\frac{\partial ^2 f}{\partial i \partial j}\right| _{idx(src(k))} } |
---|
[10414] | 376 | \end{split} |
---|
[10406] | 377 | \] |
---|
[10354] | 378 | The gradients here are taken with respect to the horizontal indices and not distances since |
---|
[12143] | 379 | the spatial dependency has been included into the weights. |
---|
[2541] | 380 | |
---|
[12143] | 381 | %% ================================================================================================= |
---|
[2541] | 382 | \subsubsection{Implementation} |
---|
[9407] | 383 | \label{subsec:SBC_iof_imp} |
---|
[2541] | 384 | |
---|
[10354] | 385 | To activate this option, a non-empty string should be supplied in |
---|
| 386 | the weights filename column of the relevant namelist; |
---|
| 387 | if this is left as an empty string no action is taken. |
---|
| 388 | In the model, weights files are read in and stored in a structured type (WGT) in the fldread module, |
---|
| 389 | as and when they are first required. |
---|
| 390 | This initialisation procedure determines whether the input data grid should be treated as cyclical or not by |
---|
| 391 | inspecting a global attribute stored in the weights input file. |
---|
[2541] | 392 | This attribute must be called "ew\_wrap" and be of integer type. |
---|
[12143] | 393 | If it is negative, the input non-model grid is assumed to be not cyclic. |
---|
[2541] | 394 | If zero or greater, then the value represents the number of columns that overlap. |
---|
| 395 | $E.g.$ if the input grid has columns at longitudes 0, 1, 2, .... , 359, then ew\_wrap should be set to 0; |
---|
| 396 | if longitudes are 0.5, 2.5, .... , 358.5, 360.5, 362.5, ew\_wrap should be 2. |
---|
| 397 | If the model does not find attribute ew\_wrap, then a value of -999 is assumed. |
---|
[12143] | 398 | In this case, the \rou{fld\_read} routine defaults ew\_wrap to value 0 and |
---|
[10354] | 399 | therefore the grid is assumed to be cyclic with no overlapping columns. |
---|
[12143] | 400 | (In fact, this only matters when bicubic interpolation is required.) |
---|
[10354] | 401 | Note that no testing is done to check the validity in the model, |
---|
| 402 | since there is no way of knowing the name used for the longitude variable, |
---|
[2541] | 403 | so it is up to the user to make sure his or her data is correctly represented. |
---|
| 404 | |
---|
| 405 | Next the routine reads in the weights. |
---|
[10354] | 406 | Bicubic interpolation is assumed if it finds a variable with name "src05", otherwise bilinear interpolation is used. |
---|
| 407 | The WGT structure includes dynamic arrays both for the storage of the weights (on the model grid), |
---|
| 408 | and when required, for reading in the variable to be interpolated (on the input data grid). |
---|
| 409 | The size of the input data array is determined by examining the values in the "src" arrays to |
---|
| 410 | find the minimum and maximum i and j values required. |
---|
| 411 | Since bicubic interpolation requires the calculation of gradients at each point on the grid, |
---|
[2541] | 412 | the corresponding arrays are dimensioned with a halo of width one grid point all the way around. |
---|
[10354] | 413 | When the array of points from the data file is adjacent to an edge of the data grid, |
---|
| 414 | the halo is either a copy of the row/column next to it (non-cyclical case), |
---|
| 415 | or is a copy of one from the first few columns on the opposite side of the grid (cyclical case). |

[10354] | 424 | a bicubic interpolation method is used. |
---|
[12143] | 425 | \item The cyclic condition is only applied on left and right columns, and not to top and bottom rows. |
---|
| 426 | \item The gradients across the ends of a cyclical grid assume that the grid spacing between |
---|
[10354] | 427 | the two columns involved are consistent with the weights used. |
---|
[12143] | 428 | \item Neither interpolation scheme is conservative. (There is a conservative scheme available in SCRIP, |
---|
[10354] | 429 | but this has not been implemented.) |

---|
[12143] | 450 | In some circumstances, it may be useful to avoid calculating the 3D temperature, |
---|
| 451 | salinity and velocity fields and simply read them in from a previous run or receive them from OASIS. |
---|
[4147] | 452 | For example: |
---|
[3607] | 453 | |
---|
[6289] | 454 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
[12143] | 455 | \item Multiple runs of the model are required in code development to |
---|
[10354] | 456 | see the effect of different algorithms in the bulk formulae. |

---|
[6289] | 461 | \end{itemize} |
---|
[3607] | 462 | |
---|
[12143] | 463 | The Standalone Surface scheme provides this capacity. |
---|
| 464 | Its options are defined through the \nam{sbc_sas}{sbc\_sas} namelist variables. |
---|
[3699] | 465 | A new copy of the model has to be compiled with a configuration based on ORCA2\_SAS\_LIM. |
---|
[12143] | 466 | However, no namelist parameters need be changed from the settings of the previous run (except perhaps nn\_date0). |
---|
[3607] | 467 | In this configuration, a few routines in the standard model are overriden by new versions. |
---|
| 468 | Routines replaced are: |
---|
| 469 | |
---|
[6289] | 470 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
[12143] | 471 | \item \mdl{nemogcm}: This routine initialises the rest of the model and repeatedly calls the stp time stepping routine (\mdl{step}). |
---|
[10354] | 472 | Since the ocean state is not calculated all associated initialisations have been removed. |
---|
[12143] | 473 | \item \mdl{step}: The main time stepping routine now only needs to call the sbc routine (and a few utility functions). |
---|
| 474 | \item \mdl{sbcmod}: This has been cut down and now only calculates surface forcing and the ice model required. |
---|
[10354] | 475 | New surface modules that can function when only the surface level of the ocean state is defined can also be added |
---|
[12143] | 476 | (\eg\ icebergs). |
---|
| 477 | \item \mdl{daymod}: No ocean restarts are read or written (though the ice model restarts are retained), |
---|
[10354] | 478 | so calls to restart functions have been removed. |
---|
| 479 | This also means that the calendar cannot be controlled by time in a restart file, |
---|
[12143] | 480 | so the user must check that nn\_date0 in the model namelist is correct for his or her purposes. |
---|
| 481 | \item \mdl{stpctl}: Since there is no free surface solver, references to it have been removed from \rou{stp\_ctl} module. |
---|
| 482 | \item \mdl{diawri}: All 3D data have been removed from the output. |
---|
[10354] | 483 | The surface temperature, salinity and velocity components (which have been read in) are written along with |
---|
| 484 | relevant forcing and ice data. |
---|
[6289] | 485 | \end{itemize} |
---|
[3607] | 486 | |
---|
| 487 | One new routine has been added: |
---|
| 488 | |
---|
[6289] | 489 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
[12143] | 490 | \item \mdl{sbcsas}: This module initialises the input files needed for reading temperature, salinity and |
---|
[10354] | 491 | velocity arrays at the surface. |
---|
[12143] | 492 | These filenames are supplied in namelist namsbc\_sas. |
---|
| 493 | Unfortunately, because of limitations with the \mdl{iom} module, |
---|
[10354] | 494 | the full 3D fields from the mean files have to be read in and interpolated in time, |
---|
| 495 | before using just the top level. |
---|
| 496 | Since fldread is used to read in the data, Interpolation on the Fly may be used to change input data resolution. |
---|
[6289] | 497 | \end{itemize} |
---|
[3607] | 498 | |
---|
[12143] | 499 | The user can also choose in the \nam{sbc_sas}{sbc\_sas} namelist to read the mean (nn\_fsbc time-step) fraction of solar net radiation absorbed in the 1st T level using |
---|
| 500 | (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}) and to provide 3D oceanic velocities instead of 2D ones (\np{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}\forcode{=.true.}). In that last case, only the 1st level will be read in. |

[12143] | 532 | In the bulk formulation, the surface boundary condition fields are computed with bulk formulae using atmospheric fields |
---|
| 533 | and ocean (and sea-ice) variables averaged over \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step. |
---|
| 534 | |
---|
[10354] | 535 | The atmospheric fields used depend on the bulk formulae used. |
---|
[12143] | 536 | In forced mode, when a sea-ice model is used, a specific bulk formulation is used. |
---|
| 537 | Therefore, different bulk formulae are used for the turbulent fluxes computation |
---|
| 538 | over the ocean and over sea-ice surface. |
---|
| 539 | For the ocean, four bulk formulations are available thanks to the \href{https://brodeau.github.io/aerobulk/}{Aerobulk} package (\citet{brodeau.barnier.ea_JPO16}): |
---|
| 540 | the NCAR (formerly named CORE), COARE 3.0, COARE 3.5 and ECMWF bulk formulae. |
---|
[10354] | 541 | The choice is made by setting to true one of the following namelist variable: |
---|
[12143] | 542 | \np{ln_NCAR}{ln\_NCAR}, \np{ln_COARE_3p0}{ln\_COARE\_3p0}, \np{ln_COARE_3p5}{ln\_COARE\_3p5} and \np{ln_ECMWF}{ln\_ECMWF}. |
---|
| 543 | For sea-ice, three possibilities can be selected: |
---|
| 544 | a constant transfer coefficient (1.4e-3; default value), \citet{lupkes.gryanik.ea_JGR12} (\np{ln_Cd_L12}{ln\_Cd\_L12}), and \citet{lupkes.gryanik_JGR15} (\np{ln_Cd_L15}{ln\_Cd\_L15}) parameterizations |

---|
| 609 | They have been designed to handle the NCAR forcing, a mixture of NCEP reanalysis and satellite data. |

| 610 | They use an inertial dissipative method to compute the turbulent transfer coefficients |

[12143] | 626 | Surface turbulent fluxes between sea-ice and the atmosphere can be computed in three different ways: |

[707] | 627 | |
---|
[12143] | 628 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
| 629 | \item Constant value (\np[ Cd_ice=1.4e-3 ]{constant value}{constant\ value}): |

---|
| 631 | \item \citet{lupkes.gryanik.ea_JGR12} (\np[=.true.]{ln_Cd_L12}{ln\_Cd\_L12}): |
---|
| 632 | This scheme adds a dependency on edges at leads, melt ponds and flows |
---|
| 633 | of the constant neutral air-ice drag. After some approximations, |
---|
| 634 | this can be resumed to a dependency on ice concentration (A). |
---|
| 635 | This drag coefficient has a parabolic shape (as a function of ice concentration) |
---|
| 636 | starting at 1.5e-3 for A=0, reaching 1.97e-3 for A=0.5 and going down 1.4e-3 for A=1. |

---|
| 639 | Alternative turbulent transfer coefficients formulation between sea-ice |
---|

| 641 | on sea-ice concentration and atmospheric stability (no melt-ponds effect for now). |

[12143] | 789 | %To do this we need to treat evaporation/precipitation fluxes and river runoff differently in the |

[2282] | 794 | %emp or emps and the changes made are below: |

| 796 | %Rachel: |
---|
| 797 | River runoff generally enters the ocean at a nonzero depth rather than through the surface. |
---|
| 798 | Many models, however, have traditionally inserted river runoff to the top model cell. |
---|
[12143] | 799 | This was the case in \NEMO\ prior to the version 3.3, |
---|
[10354] | 800 | and was combined with an option to increase vertical mixing near the river mouth. |
---|
[2282] | 801 | |
---|
[10354] | 802 | However, with this method numerical and physical problems arise when the top grid cells are of the order of one meter. |
---|
[12143] | 803 | This situation is common in coastal modelling and is becoming more common in open ocean and climate modelling |
---|
[10354] | 804 | \footnote{ |
---|
| 805 | At least a top cells thickness of 1~meter and a 3 hours forcing frequency are required to |

---|
[10354] | 807 | see also \autoref{fig:SBC_dcy}.}. |
---|
[2282] | 808 | |
---|
[10354] | 809 | As such from V~3.3 onwards it is possible to add river runoff through a non-zero depth, |
---|
| 810 | and for the temperature and salinity of the river to effect the surrounding ocean. |
---|
| 811 | The user is able to specify, in a NetCDF input file, the temperature and salinity of the river, |
---|
| 812 | along with the depth (in metres) which the river should be added to. |
---|

---|

---|
| 815 | \np{ln_rnf_temp}{ln\_rnf\_temp} control whether the river attributes (depth, salinity and temperature) are read in and used. |
---|
[10354] | 816 | If these are set as false the river is added to the surface box only, assumed to be fresh (0~psu), |
---|
| 817 | and/or taken as surface temperature respectively. |
---|
[2282] | 818 | |
---|
[12143] | 819 | The runoff value and attributes are read in in sbcrnf. |
---|
[10354] | 820 | For temperature -999 is taken as missing data and the river temperature is taken to |
---|
| 821 | be the surface temperatue at the river point. |
---|
[12143] | 822 | For the depth parameter a value of -1 means the river is added to the surface box only, |
---|
| 823 | and a value of -999 means the river is added through the entire water column. |
---|
[10354] | 824 | After being read in the temperature and salinity variables are multiplied by the amount of runoff |
---|
| 825 | (converted into m/s) to give the heat and salt content of the river runoff. |
---|
| 826 | After the user specified depth is read ini, |
---|
[12143] | 827 | the number of grid boxes this corresponds to is calculated and stored in the variable \np{nz_rnf}{nz\_rnf}. |
---|
[10354] | 828 | The variable \textit{h\_dep} is then calculated to be the depth (in metres) of |
---|
| 829 | the bottom of the lowest box the river water is being added to |
---|
[12143] | 830 | (\ie\ the total depth that river water is being added to in the model). |
---|
[2282] | 831 | |
---|
[10354] | 832 | The mass/volume addition due to the river runoff is, at each relevant depth level, added to |
---|
[10468] | 833 | the horizontal divergence (\textit{hdivn}) in the subroutine \rou{sbc\_rnf\_div} (called from \mdl{divhor}). |
---|
[2282] | 834 | This increases the diffusion term in the vicinity of the river, thereby simulating a momentum flux. |
---|
[10354] | 835 | The sea surface height is calculated using the sum of the horizontal divergence terms, |
---|
[12143] | 836 | and so the river runoff indirectly forces an increase in sea surface height. |
---|
[2282] | 837 | |
---|
[2349] | 838 | The \textit{hdivn} terms are used in the tracer advection modules to force vertical velocities. |
---|
[10354] | 839 | This causes a mass of water, equal to the amount of runoff, to be moved into the box above. |
---|
| 840 | The heat and salt content of the river runoff is not included in this step, |
---|
| 841 | and so the tracer concentrations are diluted as water of ocean temperature and salinity is moved upward out of |
---|
| 842 | the box and replaced by the same volume of river water with no corresponding heat and salt addition. |
---|
[2282] | 843 | |
---|
[10354] | 844 | For the linear free surface case, at the surface box the tracer advection causes a flux of water |
---|
| 845 | (of equal volume to the runoff) through the sea surface out of the domain, |
---|
| 846 | which causes a salt and heat flux out of the model. |
---|
[2282] | 847 | As such the volume of water does not change, but the water is diluted. |
---|
| 848 | |
---|
[12143] | 849 | For the non-linear free surface case, no flux is allowed through the surface. |
---|
[10354] | 850 | Instead in the surface box (as well as water moving up from the boxes below) a volume of runoff water is added with |
---|
| 851 | no corresponding heat and salt addition and so as happens in the lower boxes there is a dilution effect. |
---|
| 852 | (The runoff addition to the top box along with the water being moved up through |
---|
| 853 | boxes below means the surface box has a large increase in volume, whilst all other boxes remain the same size) |
---|
[2282] | 854 | |
---|
| 855 | In trasbc the addition of heat and salt due to the river runoff is added. |
---|
| 856 | This is done in the same way for both vvl and non-vvl. |
---|
[10354] | 857 | The temperature and salinity are increased through the specified depth according to |
---|
[12143] | 858 | the heat and salt content of the river. |
---|
[2282] | 859 | |
---|
[10354] | 860 | In the non-linear free surface case (vvl), |
---|
| 861 | near the end of the time step the change in sea surface height is redistrubuted through the grid boxes, |
---|
| 862 | so that the original ratios of grid box heights are restored. |
---|
| 863 | In doing this water is moved into boxes below, throughout the water column, |
---|
| 864 | so the large volume addition to the surface box is spread between all the grid boxes. |
---|
[2282] | 865 | |
---|
[10354] | 866 | It is also possible for runnoff to be specified as a negative value for modelling flow through straits, |
---|
[12143] | 867 | \ie\ modelling the Baltic flow in and out of the North Sea. |
---|
[10354] | 868 | When the flow is out of the domain there is no change in temperature and salinity, |
---|
| 869 | regardless of the namelist options used, |
---|
[12143] | 870 | as the ocean water leaving the domain removes heat and salt (at the same concentration) with it. |

---|
| 919 | Description and result of sensitivity test to \np{nn_isf}{nn\_isf} are presented in \citet{mathiot.jenkins.ea_GMD17}. |
---|
[10468] | 920 | The different options are illustrated in \autoref{fig:SBC_isf}. |
---|
| 921 | |

[5120] | 922 | \begin{description} |
---|
[12143] | 923 | \item [{\np[=1]{nn_isf}{nn\_isf}}]: The ice shelf cavity is represented (\np[=.true.]{ln_isfcav}{ln\_isfcav} needed). |
---|
[10468] | 924 | The fwf and heat flux are depending of the local water properties. |
---|
[12143] | 925 | |
---|
[10468] | 926 | Two different bulk formulae are available: |
---|
| 927 | |
---|
[12143] | 928 | \begin{description} |
---|
| 929 | \item [{\np[=1]{nn_isfblk}{nn\_isfblk}}]: The melt rate is based on a balance between the upward ocean heat flux and |
---|
| 930 | the latent heat flux at the ice shelf base. A complete description is available in \citet{hunter_rpt06}. |
---|
| 931 | \item [{\np[=2]{nn_isfblk}{nn\_isfblk}}]: The melt rate and the heat flux are based on a 3 equations formulation |
---|
| 932 | (a heat flux budget at the ice base, a salt flux budget at the ice base and a linearised freezing point temperature equation). |
---|
| 933 | A complete description is available in \citet{jenkins_JGR91}. |
---|
| 934 | \end{description} |
---|
[10468] | 935 | |
---|
[12143] | 936 | Temperature and salinity used to compute the melt are the average temperature in the top boundary layer \citet{losch_JGR08}. |
---|
| 937 | Its thickness is defined by \np{rn_hisf_tbl}{rn\_hisf\_tbl}. |
---|
| 938 | The fluxes and friction velocity are computed using the mean temperature, salinity and velocity in the the first \np{rn_hisf_tbl}{rn\_hisf\_tbl} m. |
---|
| 939 | Then, the fluxes are spread over the same thickness (ie over one or several cells). |
---|
| 940 | If \np{rn_hisf_tbl}{rn\_hisf\_tbl} larger than top $e_{3}t$, there is no more feedback between the freezing point at the interface and the the top cell temperature. |
---|
| 941 | This can lead to super-cool temperature in the top cell under melting condition. |
---|
| 942 | If \np{rn_hisf_tbl}{rn\_hisf\_tbl} smaller than top $e_{3}t$, the top boundary layer thickness is set to the top cell thickness.\\ |
---|
[10468] | 943 | |
---|
[12143] | 944 | Each melt bulk formula depends on a exchange coeficient ($\Gamma^{T,S}$) between the ocean and the ice. |
---|
| 945 | There are 3 different ways to compute the exchange coeficient: |
---|
| 946 | \begin{description} |
---|
| 947 | \item [{\np[=0]{nn_gammablk}{nn\_gammablk}}]: The salt and heat exchange coefficients are constant and defined by \np{rn_gammas0}{rn\_gammas0} and \np{rn_gammat0}{rn\_gammat0}. |

---|

---|
| 950 | \gamma^{T} = rn\_gammat0 \\ |
---|
| 951 | \gamma^{S} = rn\_gammas0 |
---|
| 952 | \end{gather*} |
---|
| 953 | This is the recommended formulation for ISOMIP. |
---|
| 954 | \item [{\np[=1]{nn_gammablk}{nn\_gammablk}}]: The salt and heat exchange coefficients are velocity dependent and defined as |
---|
| 955 | \begin{gather*} |
---|
| 956 | \gamma^{T} = rn\_gammat0 \times u_{*} \\ |
---|
| 957 | \gamma^{S} = rn\_gammas0 \times u_{*} |
---|
| 958 | \end{gather*} |
---|
| 959 | where $u_{*}$ is the friction velocity in the top boundary layer (ie first \np{rn_hisf_tbl}{rn\_hisf\_tbl} meters). |
---|
| 960 | See \citet{jenkins.nicholls.ea_JPO10} for all the details on this formulation. It is the recommended formulation for realistic application. |
---|
| 961 | \item [{\np[=2]{nn_gammablk}{nn\_gammablk}}]: The salt and heat exchange coefficients are velocity and stability dependent and defined as: |
---|
| 962 | \[ |
---|
| 963 | \gamma^{T,S} = \frac{u_{*}}{\Gamma_{Turb} + \Gamma^{T,S}_{Mole}} |
---|
| 964 | \] |
---|
| 965 | where $u_{*}$ is the friction velocity in the top boundary layer (ie first \np{rn_hisf_tbl}{rn\_hisf\_tbl} meters), |
---|
| 966 | $\Gamma_{Turb}$ the contribution of the ocean stability and |
---|
| 967 | $\Gamma^{T,S}_{Mole}$ the contribution of the molecular diffusion. |
---|
| 968 | See \citet{holland.jenkins_JPO99} for all the details on this formulation. |

---|
| 972 | The fwf and heat flux are computed using the \citet{beckmann.goosse_OM03} parameterisation of isf melting. |

---|
| 974 | (\np{sn_depmax_isf}{sn\_depmax\_isf}) and the base of the ice shelf along the calving front |

---|
| 983 | However, the fwf is not computed but specified from file \np{sn_fwfisf}{sn\_fwfisf}). |
---|
| 984 | The heat flux ($Q_h$) is computed as $Q_h = fwf \times L_f$. |

| 1054 | |
---|
[12143] | 1055 | The horizontal extrapolation to fill new cell with realistic value is called \np{nn_drown}{nn\_drown} times. |
---|
| 1056 | It means that if the grounding line retreat by more than \np{nn_drown}{nn\_drown} cells between 2 coupling steps, |
---|
[10354] | 1057 | the code will be unable to fill all the new wet cells properly. |
---|
[10468] | 1058 | The default number is set up for the MISOMIP idealised experiments. |
---|
[10354] | 1059 | This coupling procedure is able to take into account grounding line and calving front migration. |
---|
[12143] | 1060 | However, it is a non-conservative processe. |
---|
[10468] | 1061 | This could lead to a trend in heat/salt content and volume.\\ |
---|
| 1062 | |
---|
[10354] | 1063 | In order to remove the trend and keep the conservation level as close to 0 as possible, |
---|
[12143] | 1064 | a simple conservation scheme is available with \np[=.true.]{ln_hsb}{ln\_hsb}. |
---|
[10468] | 1065 | The heat/salt/vol. gain/loss is diagnosed, as well as the location. |
---|
[12143] | 1066 | A correction increment is computed and apply each time step during the next \np{rn_fiscpl}{rn\_fiscpl} time steps. |
---|
| 1067 | For safety, it is advised to set \np{rn_fiscpl}{rn\_fiscpl} equal to the coupling period (smallest increment possible). |
---|
[10468] | 1068 | The corrective increment is apply into the cell itself (if it is a wet cell), the neigbouring cells or the closest wet cell (if the cell is now dry). |

---|
[12143] | 1080 | Icebergs are modelled as lagrangian particles in \NEMO\ \citep{marsh.ivchenko.ea_GMD15}. |
---|
[11123] | 1081 | Their physical behaviour is controlled by equations as described in \citet{martin.adcroft_OM10} ). |
---|
[12143] | 1082 | (Note that the authors kindly provided a copy of their code to act as a basis for implementation in \NEMO). |
---|
[10354] | 1083 | Icebergs are initially spawned into one of ten classes which have specific mass and thickness as |
---|
[12143] | 1084 | described in the \nam{berg}{berg} namelist: \np{rn_initial_mass}{rn\_initial\_mass} and \np{rn_initial_thickness}{rn\_initial\_thickness}. |
---|
| 1085 | Each class has an associated scaling (\np{rn_mass_scaling}{rn\_mass\_scaling}), |
---|
[10354] | 1086 | which is an integer representing how many icebergs of this class are being described as one lagrangian point |
---|
| 1087 | (this reduces the numerical problem of tracking every single iceberg). |
---|
[12143] | 1088 | They are enabled by setting \np[=.true.]{ln_icebergs}{ln\_icebergs}. |
---|
[3609] | 1089 | |
---|
| 1090 | Two initialisation schemes are possible. |
---|
| 1091 | \begin{description} |
---|
[12143] | 1092 | \item [{\np{nn_test_icebergs}{nn\_test\_icebergs}~$>$~0}] In this scheme, the value of \np{nn_test_icebergs}{nn\_test\_icebergs} represents the class of iceberg to generate |
---|
| 1093 | (so between 1 and 10), and \np{nn_test_icebergs}{nn\_test\_icebergs} provides a lon/lat box in the domain at each grid point of |
---|
[10354] | 1094 | which an iceberg is generated at the beginning of the run. |
---|
[12143] | 1095 | (Note that this happens each time the timestep equals \np{nn_nit000}{nn\_nit000}.) |
---|
| 1096 | \np{nn_test_icebergs}{nn\_test\_icebergs} is defined by four numbers in \np{nn_test_box}{nn\_test\_box} representing the corners of |
---|
[10354] | 1097 | the geographical box: lonmin,lonmax,latmin,latmax |
---|
[12143] | 1098 | \item [{\np[=-1]{nn_test_icebergs}{nn\_test\_icebergs}}] In this scheme, the model reads a calving file supplied in the \np{sn_icb}{sn\_icb} parameter. |
---|
[10354] | 1099 | This should be a file with a field on the configuration grid (typically ORCA) |
---|
| 1100 | representing ice accumulation rate at each model point. |
---|
| 1101 | These should be ocean points adjacent to land where icebergs are known to calve. |
---|
| 1102 | Most points in this input grid are going to have value zero. |
---|
| 1103 | When the model runs, ice is accumulated at each grid point which has a non-zero source term. |
---|
| 1104 | At each time step, a test is performed to see if there is enough ice mass to |
---|
| 1105 | calve an iceberg of each class in order (1 to 10). |
---|
[12143] | 1106 | Note that this is the initial mass multiplied by the number each particle represents (\ie\ the scaling). |
---|
[10354] | 1107 | If there is enough ice, a new iceberg is spawned and the total available ice reduced accordingly. |
---|
[3609] | 1108 | \end{description} |
---|
| 1109 | |
---|
| 1110 | Icebergs are influenced by wind, waves and currents, bottom melt and erosion. |
---|
[10354] | 1111 | The latter act to disintegrate the iceberg. |
---|
| 1112 | This is either all melted freshwater, |
---|
[12143] | 1113 | or (if \np{rn_bits_erosion_fraction}{rn\_bits\_erosion\_fraction}~$>$~0) into melt and additionally small ice bits |
---|
[3609] | 1114 | which are assumed to propagate with their larger parent and thus delay fluxing into the ocean. |
---|
[12143] | 1115 | Melt water (and other variables on the configuration grid) are written into the main \NEMO\ model output files. |
---|
[3609] | 1116 | |
---|
| 1117 | Extensive diagnostics can be produced. |
---|
| 1118 | Separate output files are maintained for human-readable iceberg information. |
---|
[12143] | 1119 | A separate file is produced for each processor (independent of \np{ln_ctl}{ln\_ctl}). |
---|
[3609] | 1120 | The amount of information is controlled by two integer parameters: |
---|
| 1121 | \begin{description} |
---|
[12143] | 1122 | \item [{\np{nn_verbose_level}{nn\_verbose\_level}}] takes a value between one and four and |
---|
[10354] | 1123 | represents an increasing number of points in the code at which variables are written, |
---|
| 1124 | and an increasing level of obscurity. |
---|
[12143] | 1125 | \item [{\np{nn_verbose_write}{nn\_verbose\_write}}] is the number of timesteps between writes |
---|
[3609] | 1126 | \end{description} |
---|
| 1127 | |
---|
[12143] | 1128 | Iceberg trajectories can also be written out and this is enabled by setting \np{nn_sample_rate}{nn\_sample\_rate}~$>$~0. |
---|
[3609] | 1129 | A non-zero value represents how many timesteps between writes of information into the output file. |
---|
| 1130 | These output files are in NETCDF format. |
---|
| 1131 | When \key{mpp\_mpi} is defined, each output file contains only those icebergs in the corresponding processor. |
---|
| 1132 | Trajectory points are written out in the order of their parent iceberg in the model's "linked list" of icebergs. |
---|
[10354] | 1133 | So care is needed to recreate data for individual icebergs, |
---|
| 1134 | since its trajectory data may be spread across multiple files. |

[10373] | 1177 | \label{subsec:SBC_wave_sdw} |
---|
| 1178 | |
---|
[12143] | 1179 | The Stokes drift is a wave driven mechanism of mass and momentum transport \citep{stokes_ibk09}. |
---|
| 1180 | It is defined as the difference between the average velocity of a fluid parcel (Lagrangian velocity) |
---|
| 1181 | and the current measured at a fixed point (Eulerian velocity). |
---|
| 1182 | As waves travel, the water particles that make up the waves travel in orbital motions but |
---|
| 1183 | without a closed path. Their movement is enhanced at the top of the orbit and slowed slightly |
---|
| 1184 | at the bottom, so the result is a net forward motion of water particles, referred to as the Stokes drift. |
---|
| 1185 | An accurate evaluation of the Stokes drift and the inclusion of related processes may lead to improved |
---|
| 1186 | representation of surface physics in ocean general circulation models. %GS: reference needed |
---|
| 1187 | The Stokes drift velocity $\mathbf{U}_{st}$ in deep water can be computed from the wave spectrum and may be written as: |
---|
[10373] | 1188 | |
---|
[10414] | 1189 | \[ |

| 1197 | $\mathrm{S}($f$,\theta)$ is the 2D frequency-direction spectrum, |
---|
| 1198 | $k$ is the mean wavenumber defined as: |
---|
[10373] | 1199 | $k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$ (being $\lambda$ the wavelength). \\ |
---|
| 1200 | |
---|
[12143] | 1201 | In order to evaluate the Stokes drift in a realistic ocean wave field, the wave spectral shape is required |
---|
| 1202 | and its computation quickly becomes expensive as the 2D spectrum must be integrated for each vertical level. |
---|
[10373] | 1203 | To simplify, it is customary to use approximations to the full Stokes profile. |

[12143] | 1204 | Three possible parameterizations for the calculation for the approximate Stokes drift velocity profile |

---|
[11123] | 1338 | \cite{bernie.woolnough.ea_JC05} have shown that to capture 90$\%$ of the diurnal variability of SST requires a vertical resolution in upper ocean of 1~m or better and a temporal resolution of the surface fluxes of 3~h or less. |
---|
[12143] | 1339 | %Unfortunately high frequency forcing fields are rare, not to say inexistent. GS: not true anymore ! |
---|
| 1340 | Nevertheless, it is possible to obtain a reasonable diurnal cycle of the SST knowning only short wave flux (SWF) at high frequency \citep{bernie.guilyardi.ea_CD07}. |
---|
[10354] | 1341 | Furthermore, only the knowledge of daily mean value of SWF is needed, |
---|
| 1342 | as higher frequency variations can be reconstructed from them, |
---|
| 1343 | assuming that the diurnal cycle of SWF is a scaling of the top of the atmosphere diurnal cycle of incident SWF. |
---|
[12143] | 1344 | The \cite{bernie.guilyardi.ea_CD07} reconstruction algorithm is available in \NEMO\ by |
---|
| 1345 | setting \np[=.true.]{ln_dm2dc}{ln\_dm2dc} (a \textit{\nam{sbc}{sbc}} namelist variable) when |

| 1346 | using a bulk formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}) or |
---|
| 1347 | the flux formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}). |
---|
[10354] | 1348 | The reconstruction is performed in the \mdl{sbcdcy} module. |
---|
[11123] | 1349 | The detail of the algoritm used can be found in the appendix~A of \cite{bernie.guilyardi.ea_CD07}. |
---|
[12143] | 1350 | The algorithm preserves the daily mean incoming SWF as the reconstructed SWF at |
---|
[10354] | 1351 | a given time step is the mean value of the analytical cycle over this time step (\autoref{fig:SBC_diurnal}). |
---|
| 1352 | The use of diurnal cycle reconstruction requires the input SWF to be daily |
---|
[12143] | 1353 | (\ie\ a frequency of 24 hours and a time interpolation set to true in \np{sn_qsr}{sn\_qsr} namelist parameter). |
---|
| 1354 | Furthermore, it is recommended to have a least 8 surface module time steps per day, |
---|
[10354] | 1355 | that is $\rdt \ nn\_fsbc < 10,800~s = 3~h$. |
---|

---|
[12143] | 1377 | When using a flux (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}) or bulk (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}) formulation, |
---|
[10354] | 1378 | pairs of vector components can be rotated from east-north directions onto the local grid directions. |
---|
| 1379 | This is particularly useful when interpolation on the fly is used since here any vectors are likely to |
---|
| 1380 | be defined relative to a rectilinear grid. |
---|
[12143] | 1381 | To activate this option, a non-empty string is supplied in the rotation pair column of the relevant namelist. |
---|
| 1382 | The eastward component must start with "U" and the northward component with "V". |
---|
[1320] | 1383 | The remaining characters in the strings are used to identify which pair of components go together. |
---|
[10354] | 1384 | So for example, strings "U1" and "V1" next to "utau" and "vtau" would pair the wind stress components together and |
---|
| 1385 | rotate them on to the model grid directions; |
---|
| 1386 | "U2" and "V2" could be used against a second pair of components, and so on. |
---|
[1320] | 1387 | The extra characters used in the strings are arbitrary. |

| 1406 | \] |
---|
[10354] | 1407 | where SST is a sea surface temperature field (observed or climatological), |
---|
| 1408 | $T$ is the model surface layer temperature and |
---|
| 1409 | $\frac{dQ}{dT}$ is a negative feedback coefficient usually taken equal to $-40~W/m^2/K$. |
---|
[12143] | 1410 | For a $50~m$ mixed-layer depth, this value corresponds to a relaxation time scale of two months. |

[10354] | 1422 | where $\textit{emp}_{o }$ is a net surface fresh water flux |

| 1423 | (observed, climatological or an atmospheric model product), |
---|
| 1424 | \textit{SSS}$_{Obs}$ is a sea surface salinity |

[11123] | 1425 | (usually a time interpolation of the monthly mean Polar Hydrographic Climatology \citep{steele.morley.ea_JC01}), |

[10354] | 1426 | $\left.S\right|_{k=1}$ is the model surface layer salinity and |

[12143] | 1428 | Unlike heat flux, there is no physical justification for the feedback term in \autoref{eq:SBC_dmp_emp} as |

---|
[12143] | 1445 | \item [nn\_ice = 1] sea-ice can exist in the computational domain, but no sea-ice model is used. |
---|
[10354] | 1446 | An observed ice covered area is read in a file. |
---|
| 1447 | Below this area, the SST is restored to the freezing point and |
---|
| 1448 | the heat fluxes are set to $-4~W/m^2$ ($-2~W/m^2$) in the northern (southern) hemisphere. |
---|
| 1449 | The associated modification of the freshwater fluxes are done in such a way that |
---|
| 1450 | the change in buoyancy fluxes remains zero. |
---|
| 1451 | This prevents deep convection to occur when trying to reach the freezing point |
---|
| 1452 | (and so ice covered area condition) while the SSS is too large. |
---|
[12143] | 1453 | This manner of managing sea-ice area, just by using a IF case, |

[10354] | 1454 | is usually referred as the \textit{ice-if} model. |

[12143] | 1455 | It can be found in the \mdl{sbcice\_if} module. |

| 1522 | % it is important to balance the hydrological cycle in ocean-ice models. |
---|
| 1523 | % We thus need to prescribe some form of global normalization to the precipitation minus evaporation plus river runoff. |
---|
| 1524 | % The result of the normalization should be a global integrated zero net water input to the ocean-ice system over |

| 1525 | % a chosen time scale. |
---|
| 1526 | % How often the normalization is done is a matter of choice. In mom4p1, we choose to do so at each model time step, |

| 1527 | % so that there is always a zero net input of water to the ocean-ice system. |
---|

| 1529 | % to alter the subsequent year�s water budget in an attempt to damp the annual water imbalance. |
---|
| 1530 | % Note that the annual budget approach may be inappropriate with interannually varying precipitation forcing. |
---|
| 1531 | % When running ocean-ice coupled models, it is incorrect to include the water transport between the ocean |

---|
