33The ocean needs seven fields as surface boundary condition:
34
35\begin{itemize}
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 $\left( p_a \right)$
41\end{itemize}
42
43Four different ways are available to provide the seven fields to the ocean. They are controlled by
44namelist \nam{sbc}{sbc} variables:
45
46\begin{itemize}
47\item a bulk formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}), featuring a selection of four bulk parameterization 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}).
52\end{itemize}
53
54The frequency at which the forcing fields have to be updated is given by the \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} namelist parameter.
55
56When the fields are supplied from data files (bulk, flux and mixed formulations),
57the input fields do not need to be supplied on the model grid.
58Instead, a file of coordinates and weights can be supplied to map the data from the input fields grid to
59the model points (so called "Interpolation on the Fly", see \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}).
60If the "Interpolation on the Fly" option is used, input data belonging to land points (in the native grid)
61should be masked or filled to avoid spurious results in proximity of the coasts, as
62large sea-land gradients characterize most of the atmospheric variables.
63
64In addition, the resulting fields can be further modified using several namelist options.
65These options control:
66
67\begin{itemize}
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 a freshwater flux adjustment in order to avoid a mean sea-level drift
76  (\np[=0..2]{nn_fwb}{nn\_fwb}),
77\item the transformation of the solar radiation (if provided as daily mean) into an analytical diurnal cycle
78  (\np[=.true.]{ln_dm2dc}{ln\_dm2dc}),
79\item the activation of wave effects from an external wave model  (\np[=.true.]{ln_wave}{ln\_wave}),
80\item the light penetration in the ocean (\np[=.true.]{ln_traqsr}{ln\_traqsr} with \nam{tra_qsr}{tra\_qsr}),
81\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}),
82\item the effect of sea-ice pressure on the ocean (\np[=.true.]{ln_ice_embd}{ln\_ice\_embd}).
83\end{itemize}
84
85In this chapter, we first discuss where the surface boundary conditions appear in the model equations.
86Then we present the three ways of providing the surface boundary conditions,
87followed by the description of the atmospheric pressure and the river runoff.
88Next, the scheme for interpolation on the fly is described.
89Finally, the different options that further modify the fluxes applied to the ocean are discussed.
90One of these is modification by icebergs (see \autoref{sec:SBC_ICB_icebergs}),
91which act as drifting sources of fresh water.

94\section{Surface boundary condition for the ocean}
95\label{sec:SBC_ocean}
96
97The surface ocean stress is the stress exerted by the wind and the sea-ice on the ocean.
98It is applied in \mdl{dynzdf} module as a surface boundary condition of the computation of
99the momentum vertical mixing trend (see \autoref{eq:DYN_zdf_sbc} in \autoref{sec:DYN_zdf}).
100As such, it has to be provided as a 2D vector interpolated onto the horizontal velocity ocean mesh,
101\ie\ resolved onto the model (\textbf{i},\textbf{j}) direction at $u$- and $v$-points.
102
103The surface heat flux is decomposed into two parts, a non solar and a solar heat flux,
104$Q_{ns}$ and $Q_{sr}$, respectively.
105The former is the non penetrative part of the heat flux
106(\ie\ the sum of sensible, latent and long wave heat fluxes plus
107the heat content of the mass exchange between the ocean and sea-ice).
108It is applied in \mdl{trasbc} module as a surface boundary condition trend of
109the first level temperature time evolution equation
110(see \autoref{eq:TRA_sbc} and \autoref{eq:TRA_sbc_lin} in \autoref{subsec:TRA_sbc}).
111The latter is the penetrative part of the heat flux.
112It is applied as a 3D trend of the temperature equation (\mdl{traqsr} module) when
113\np[=.true.]{ln_traqsr}{ln\_traqsr}.
114The way the light penetrates inside the water column is generally a sum of decreasing exponentials
115(see \autoref{subsec:TRA_qsr}).
116
117The surface freshwater budget is provided by the \textit{emp} field.
118It represents the mass flux exchanged with the atmosphere (evaporation minus precipitation) and
119possibly with the sea-ice and ice shelves (freezing minus melting of ice).
120It affects the ocean in two different ways:
121$(i)$  it changes the volume of the ocean, and therefore appears in the sea surface height equation as      %GS: autoref ssh equation to be added
122a volume flux, and
123$(ii)$ it changes the surface temperature and salinity through the heat and salt contents of
124the mass exchanged with atmosphere, sea-ice and ice shelves.

141The ocean model provides, at each time step, to the surface module (\mdl{sbcmod})

143These variables are averaged over \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step (\autoref{tab:SBC_ssm}), and
144these averaged fields are used to compute the surface fluxes at the frequency of \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-steps.

170\section{Input data generic interface}
171\label{sec:SBC_input}
172
173A generic interface has been introduced to manage the way input data
174(2D or 3D fields, like surface forcing or ocean T and S) are specified in \NEMO.
175This task is achieved by \mdl{fldread}.
176The module is designed with four main objectives in mind:
177\begin{enumerate}
178\item optionally provide a time interpolation of the input data every specified model time-step, whatever their input frequency is,
179  and according to the different calendars available in the model.
180\item optionally provide an on-the-fly space interpolation from the native input data grid to the model grid.
181\item make the run duration independent from the period cover by the input files.
182\item provide a simple user interface and a rather simple developer interface by
183  limiting the number of prerequisite informations.
184\end{enumerate}
185
186As a result, the user has only to fill in for each variable a structure in the namelist file to
187define the input data file and variable names, the frequency of the data (in hours or months),
188whether its is climatological data or not, the period covered by the input file (one year, month, week or day),
189and three additional parameters for the on-the-fly interpolation.
190When adding a new input variable, the developer has to add the associated structure in the namelist,
191read this information by mirroring the namelist read in \rou{sbc\_blk\_init} for example,
192and simply call \rou{fld\_read} to obtain the desired input field at the model time-step and grid points.
193
194The only constraints are that the input file is a NetCDF file, the file name follows a nomenclature
195(see \autoref{subsec:SBC_fldread}), the period it cover is one year, month, week or day, and,
196if on-the-fly interpolation is used, a file of weights must be supplied (see \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}).
197
198Note that when an input data is archived on a disc which is accessible directly from the workspace where
199the code is executed, then the user can set the \np{cn_dir}{cn\_dir} to the pathway leading to the data.
200By default, the data are assumed to be in the same directory as the executable, so that cn\_dir='./'.

205
206The structure associated with an input variable contains the following information:
207\begin{forlines}
208!  file name  ! frequency (hours) ! variable  ! time interp. !  clim  ! 'yearly'/ ! weights  ! rotation ! land/sea mask !
209!             !  (if <0  months)  !   name    !   (logical)  !  (T/F) ! 'monthly' ! filename ! pairing  ! filename      !

211where
212\begin{description}
213\item [File name]: the stem name of the NetCDF file to be opened.
214  This stem will be completed automatically by the model, with the addition of a '.nc' at its end and
215  by date information and possibly a prefix (when using AGRIF).
216  \autoref{tab:SBC_fldread} provides the resulting file name in all possible cases according to
217  whether it is a climatological file or not, and to the open/close frequency (see below for definition).

230      Naming nomenclature for climatological or interannual input file,
231      as a function of the open/close frequency.
232      The stem name is assumed to be 'fn'.
233      For weekly files, the 'LLL' corresponds to the first three letters of the first day of the week
234      (\ie\ 'sun','sat','fri','thu','wed','tue','mon').
235      The 'YYYY', 'MM' and 'DD' should be replaced by the actual year/month/day,
236      always coded with 4 or 2 digits.
237      Note that (1) in mpp, if the file is split over each subdomain,
238      the suffix '.nc' is replaced by '\_PPPP.nc',
239      where 'PPPP' is the process number coded with 4 digits;
240      (2) when using AGRIF, the prefix '\_N' is added to files, where 'N' is the child grid number.
241    }
242    \label{tab:SBC_fldread}
243  \end{table}
244\item [Record frequency]: the frequency of the records contained in the input file.
245  Its unit is in hours if it is positive (for example 24 for daily forcing) or in months if negative
246  (for example -1 for monthly forcing or -12 for annual forcing).
247  Note that this frequency must REALLY be an integer and not a real.
248  On some computers, setting it to '24.' can be interpreted as 240!
249\item [Variable name]: the name of the variable to be read in the input NetCDF file.
250\item [Time interpolation]: a logical to activate, or not, the time interpolation.
251  If set to 'false', the forcing will have a steplike shape remaining constant during each forcing period.
252  For example, when using a daily forcing without time interpolation, the forcing remaining constant from
253  00h00'00'' to 23h59'59".
254  If set to 'true', the forcing will have a broken line shape.
255  Records are assumed to be dated at the middle of the forcing period.
256  For example, when using a daily forcing with time interpolation,
257  linear interpolation will be performed between mid-day of two consecutive days.
258\item [Climatological forcing]: a logical to specify if a input file contains climatological forcing which can be cycle in time,
259  or an interannual forcing which will requires additional files if
260  the period covered by the simulation exceeds the one of the file.
261  See the above file naming strategy which impacts the expected name of the file to be opened.
262\item [Open/close frequency]: the frequency at which forcing files must be opened/closed.
263  Four cases are coded:
264  'daily', 'weekLLL' (with 'LLL' the first 3 letters of the first day of the week), 'monthly' and 'yearly' which
265  means the forcing files will contain data for one day, one week, one month or one year.
266  Files are assumed to contain data from the beginning of the open/close period.
267  For example, the first record of a yearly file containing daily data is Jan 1st even if
268  the experiment is not starting at the beginning of the year.
269\item [Others]:  'weights filename', 'pairing rotation' and 'land/sea mask' are associated with
270  on-the-fly interpolation which is described in \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}.
271\end{description}
272
273Additional remarks:\\
274(1) The time interpolation is a simple linear interpolation between two consecutive records of the input data.
275The only tricky point is therefore to specify the date at which we need to do the interpolation and
276the date of the records read in the input files.
277Following \citet{leclair.madec_OM09}, the date of a time step is set at the middle of the time step.
278For example, for an experiment starting at 0h00'00" with a one-hour time-step,
279a time interpolation will be performed at the following time: 0h30'00", 1h30'00", 2h30'00", etc.
280However, for forcing data related to the surface module,
281values are not needed at every time-step but at every \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step.
282For example with \np[=3]{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc}, the surface module will be called at time-steps 1, 4, 7, etc.
283The date used for the time interpolation is thus redefined to the middle of \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step period.
284In the previous example, this leads to: 1h30'00", 4h30'00", 7h30'00", etc. \\
285(2) For code readablility and maintenance issues, we don't take into account the NetCDF input file calendar.
286The calendar associated with the forcing field is build according to the information provided by
287user in the record frequency, the open/close frequency and the type of temporal interpolation.
288For example, the first record of a yearly file containing daily data that will be interpolated in time is assumed to
289start Jan 1st at 12h00'00" and end Dec 31st at 12h00'00". \\
290(3) If a time interpolation is requested, the code will pick up the needed data in the previous (next) file when
291interpolating data with the first (last) record of the open/close period.
292For example, if the input file specifications are ''yearly, containing daily data to be interpolated in time'',
293the values given by the code between 00h00'00" and 11h59'59" on Jan 1st will be interpolated values between
294Dec 31st 12h00'00" and Jan 1st 12h00'00".
295If the forcing is climatological, Dec and Jan will be keep-up from the same year.
296However, if the forcing is not climatological, at the end of
297the open/close period, the code will automatically close the current file and open the next one.
298Note that, if the experiment is starting (ending) at the beginning (end) of
299an open/close period, we do accept that the previous (next) file is not existing.
300In this case, the time interpolation will be performed between two identical values.
301For example, when starting an experiment on Jan 1st of year Y with yearly files and daily data to be interpolated,
302we do accept that the file related to year Y-1 is not existing.
303The value of Jan 1st will be used as the missing one for Dec 31st of year Y-1.
304If the file of year Y-1 exists, the code will read its last record.
305Therefore, this file can contain only one record corresponding to Dec 31st,
306a useful feature for user considering that it is too heavy to manipulate the complete file for year Y-1.
307
308%% =================================================================================================
309\subsection{Interpolation on-the-fly}
310\label{subsec:SBC_iof}
311
312Interpolation on the Fly allows the user to supply input files required for the surface forcing on
313grids other than the model grid.
314To do this, he or she must supply, in addition to the source data file(s), a file of weights to be used to
315interpolate from the data grid to the model grid.
316The original development of this code used the SCRIP package
317(freely available \href{http://climate.lanl.gov/Software/SCRIP}{here} under a copyright agreement).
318In principle, any package such as CDO can be used to generate the weights, but the variables in
319the input weights file must have the same names and meanings as assumed by the model.
320Two methods are currently available: bilinear and bicubic interpolations.
321Prior to the interpolation, providing a land/sea mask file, the user can decide to remove land points from
322the input file and substitute the corresponding values with the average of the 8 neighbouring points in
323the native external grid.
324Only "sea points" are considered for the averaging.
325The land/sea mask file must be provided in the structure associated with the input variable.
326The netcdf land/sea mask variable name must be 'LSM' and must have the same horizontal and vertical dimensions as
327the associated variables and should be equal to 1 over land and 0 elsewhere.
328The procedure can be recursively applied by setting nn\_lsm > 1 in namsbc namelist.
329Note that nn\_lsm=0 forces the code to not apply the procedure, even if a land/sea mask file is supplied.
330
331%% =================================================================================================
332\subsubsection{Bilinear interpolation}
333\label{subsec:SBC_iof_bilinear}
334
335The input weights file in this case has two sets of variables:
336src01, src02, src03, src04 and wgt01, wgt02, wgt03, wgt04.
337The "src" variables correspond to the point in the input grid to which the weight "wgt" is applied.
338Each src value is an integer corresponding to the index of a point in the input grid when
339written as a one dimensional array.
340For example, for an input grid of size 5x10, point (3,2) is referenced as point 8, since (2-1)*5+3=8.
341There are four of each variable because bilinear interpolation uses the four points defining
342the grid box containing the point to be interpolated.
343All of these arrays are on the model grid, so that values src01(i,j) and wgt01(i,j) are used to
344generate a value for point (i,j) in the model.
345
346Symbolically, the algorithm used is:
347\[
348  f_{m}(i,j) = f_{m}(i,j) + \sum_{k=1}^{4} {wgt(k)f(idx(src(k)))}
349\]
350where function idx() transforms a one dimensional index src(k) into a two dimensional index,
351and wgt(1) corresponds to variable "wgt01" for example.
352
353%% =================================================================================================
354\subsubsection{Bicubic interpolation}
355\label{subsec:SBC_iof_bicubic}
356
357Again, there are two sets of variables: "src" and "wgt".
358But in this case, there are 16 of each.
359The symbolic algorithm used to calculate values on the model grid is now:
360

373\subsubsection{Implementation}
374\label{subsec:SBC_iof_imp}
375
376To activate this option, a non-empty string should be supplied in
377the weights filename column of the relevant namelist;
378if this is left as an empty string no action is taken.
379In the model, weights files are read in and stored in a structured type (WGT) in the fldread module,
380as and when they are first required.
381This initialisation procedure determines whether the input data grid should be treated as cyclical or not by
382inspecting a global attribute stored in the weights input file.
383This attribute must be called "ew\_wrap" and be of integer type.
384If it is negative, the input non-model grid is assumed to be not cyclic.
385If zero or greater, then the value represents the number of columns that overlap.
386$E.g.$ if the input grid has columns at longitudes 0, 1, 2, .... , 359, then ew\_wrap should be set to 0;
387if longitudes are 0.5, 2.5, .... , 358.5, 360.5, 362.5, ew\_wrap should be 2.
388If the model does not find attribute ew\_wrap, then a value of -999 is assumed.
389In this case, the \rou{fld\_read} routine defaults ew\_wrap to value 0 and
390therefore the grid is assumed to be cyclic with no overlapping columns.
391(In fact, this only matters when bicubic interpolation is required.)
392Note that no testing is done to check the validity in the model,
393since there is no way of knowing the name used for the longitude variable,
394so it is up to the user to make sure his or her data is correctly represented.
395
396Next the routine reads in the weights.
397Bicubic interpolation is assumed if it finds a variable with name "src05", otherwise bilinear interpolation is used.
398The WGT structure includes dynamic arrays both for the storage of the weights (on the model grid),
399and when required, for reading in the variable to be interpolated (on the input data grid).
400The size of the input data array is determined by examining the values in the "src" arrays to
401find the minimum and maximum i and j values required.
402Since bicubic interpolation requires the calculation of gradients at each point on the grid,
403the corresponding arrays are dimensioned with a halo of width one grid point all the way around.
404When the array of points from the data file is adjacent to an edge of the data grid,
405the halo is either a copy of the row/column next to it (non-cyclical case),
406or is a copy of one from the first few columns on the opposite side of the grid (cyclical case).

411
412\begin{enumerate}
413\item The case where input data grids are not logically rectangular (irregular grid case) has not been tested.
414\item This code is not guaranteed to produce positive definite answers from positive definite inputs when
415  a bicubic interpolation method is used.
416\item The cyclic condition is only applied on left and right columns, and not to top and bottom rows.
417\item The gradients across the ends of a cyclical grid assume that the grid spacing between
418  the two columns involved are consistent with the weights used.
419\item Neither interpolation scheme is conservative. (There is a conservative scheme available in SCRIP,
420  but this has not been implemented.)

441In some circumstances, it may be useful to avoid calculating the 3D temperature,
442salinity and velocity fields and simply read them in from a previous run or receive them from OASIS.
443For example:
444
445\begin{itemize}
446\item Multiple runs of the model are required in code development to
447  see the effect of different algorithms in the bulk formulae.
448\item The effect of different parameter sets in the ice model is to be examined.
449\item Development of sea-ice algorithms or parameterizations.
450\item Spinup of the iceberg floats
451\item Ocean/sea-ice simulation with both models running in parallel (\np[=.true.]{ln_mixcpl}{ln\_mixcpl})
452\end{itemize}
453
454The Standalone Surface scheme provides this capacity.
455Its options are defined through the \nam{sbc_sas}{sbc\_sas} namelist variables.
456A new copy of the model has to be compiled with a configuration based on ORCA2\_SAS\_LIM.
457However, no namelist parameters need be changed from the settings of the previous run (except perhaps nn\_date0).
458In this configuration, a few routines in the standard model are overriden by new versions.
459Routines replaced are:
460
461\begin{itemize}
462\item \mdl{nemogcm}: This routine initialises the rest of the model and repeatedly calls the stp time stepping routine (\mdl{step}).
463  Since the ocean state is not calculated all associated initialisations have been removed.
464\item \mdl{step}: The main time stepping routine now only needs to call the sbc routine (and a few utility functions).
465\item \mdl{sbcmod}: This has been cut down and now only calculates surface forcing and the ice model required.
466  New surface modules that can function when only the surface level of the ocean state is defined can also be added
467  (\eg\ icebergs).
468\item \mdl{daymod}: No ocean restarts are read or written (though the ice model restarts are retained),
469  so calls to restart functions have been removed.
470  This also means that the calendar cannot be controlled by time in a restart file,
471  so the user must check that nn\_date0 in the model namelist is correct for his or her purposes.
472\item \mdl{stpctl}: Since there is no free surface solver, references to it have been removed from \rou{stp\_ctl} module.
473\item \mdl{diawri}: All 3D data have been removed from the output.
474  The surface temperature, salinity and velocity components (which have been read in) are written along with
475  relevant forcing and ice data.
476\end{itemize}
477
478One new routine has been added:
479
480\begin{itemize}
481\item \mdl{sbcsas}: This module initialises the input files needed for reading temperature, salinity and
482  velocity arrays at the surface.
483  These filenames are supplied in namelist namsbc\_sas.
484  Unfortunately, because of limitations with the \mdl{iom} module,
485  the full 3D fields from the mean files have to be read in and interpolated in time,
486  before using just the top level.
487  Since fldread is used to read in the data, Interpolation on the Fly may be used to change input data resolution.
488\end{itemize}
489
490The 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
491 (\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.

528If the bulk formulation is selected (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}), the air-sea
529fluxes associated with surface boundary conditions are estimated by means of the
530traditional \emph{bulk formulae}. As input, bulk formulae rely on a prescribed
531near-surface atmosphere state (typically extracted from a weather reanalysis)
532and the prognostic sea (-ice) surface state averaged over \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc}
533time-step(s).

564with
565   \[ \theta_z \simeq T_z+\gamma z \]
566   \[  q_s \simeq 0.98\,q_{sat}(T_s,p_a ) \]
567from which, the the non-solar heat flux is \[ Q_{ns} = Q_L + Q_H + Q_{ir} \]
568where $\mathbf{\tau}$ is the wind stress vector, $Q_H$ the sensible heat flux,
569$E$ the evaporation, $Q_L$ the latent heat flux, and $Q_{ir}$ the net longwave
570flux.
571$Q_{sw\downarrow}$ and $Q_{lw\downarrow}$ are the surface downwelling shortwave
572and longwave radiative fluxes, respectively.
573Note: a positive sign for $\mathbf{\tau}$, $Q_H$, $Q_L$, $Q_{sr}$ or $Q_{ir}$
574implies a gain of the relevant quantity for the ocean, while a positive $E$
575implies a freshwater loss for the ocean.
576$\rho$ is the density of air. $C_D$, $C_H$ and $C_E$ are the bulk transfer
577coefficients for momentum, sensible heat, and moisture, respectively.
578$C_P$ is the heat capacity of moist air, and $L_v$ is the latent heat of
579vaporization of water.
580$\theta_z$, $T_z$ and $q_z$ are the potential temperature, absolute temperature,
581and specific humidity of air at height $z$ above the sea surface,
582respectively. $\gamma z$ is a temperature correction term which accounts for the
583adiabatic lapse rate and approximates the potential temperature at height
584$z$ \citep{josey.gulev.ea_OCC13}.
585$\mathbf{U}_z$ is the wind speed vector at height $z$ above the sea surface
586(possibly referenced to the surface current $\mathbf{u_0}$).%,
587%\autoref{s_res1}.\autoref{ss_current}). %% Undefined references
588The bulk scalar wind speed, namely $U_B$, is the scalar wind speed,
589$|\mathbf{U}_z|$, with the potential inclusion of a gustiness contribution.
590$a$ and $\delta$ are the albedo and emissivity of the sea surface, respectively.\\
591%$p_a$ is the mean sea-level pressure (SLP).
592$T_s$ is the sea surface temperature. $q_s$ is the saturation specific humidity
593of air at temperature $T_s$; it includes a 2\% reduction to account for the
594presence of salt in seawater \citep{sverdrup.johnson.ea_bk42,kraus.businger_QJRMS96}.
595Depending on the bulk parametrization used, $T_s$ can either be the temperature
596at the air-sea interface (skin temperature, hereafter SSST) or at typically a
597few tens of centimeters below the surface (bulk sea surface temperature,
598hereafter SST).
599The SSST differs from the SST due to the contributions of two effects of
600opposite sign, the \emph{cool skin} and \emph{warm layer} (hereafter CS and WL,
601respectively, see \autoref{subsec:SBC_skin}).
602Technically, when the ECMWF or COARE* bulk parametrizations are selected
603(\np[=.true.]{ln_ECMWF}{ln\_ECMWF} or \np[=.true.]{ln_COARE*}{ln\_COARE\*}),
604$T_s$ is the SSST, as opposed to the NCAR bulk parametrization
605(\np[=.true.]{ln_NCAR}{ln\_NCAR}) for which $T_s$ is the bulk SST (\ie~temperature
606at first T-point level).

612\label{subsec:SBC_blk_ocean}
613%%%\label{subsec:SBC_param}
614
615Accuracy of the estimate of surface turbulent fluxes by means of bulk formulae
616strongly relies on that of the bulk transfer coefficients: $C_D$, $C_H$ and
617$C_E$. They are estimated with what we refer to as a \emph{bulk
618parametrization} algorithm. When relevant, these algorithms also perform the
619height adjustment of humidity and temperature to the wind reference measurement
620height (from \np{rn_zqt}{rn\_zqt} to \np{rn_zu}{rn\_zu}).
621
622For the open ocean, four bulk parametrization algorithms are available in NEMO:
623
624\begin{itemize}
625\item NCAR, formerly known as CORE, \citep{large.yeager_trpt04,large.yeager_CD09}
626\item COARE 3.0 \citep{fairall.bradley.ea_JC03}
627\item COARE 3.6 \citep{edson.jampana.ea_JPO13}
628\item ECMWF (IFS documentation, cy45)
629\end{itemize}
630
631With respect to version 3, the principal advances in version 3.6 of the COARE
632bulk parametrization are built around improvements in the representation of the
633effects of waves on
634fluxes \citep{edson.jampana.ea_JPO13,brodeau.barnier.ea_JPO16}. This includes
635improved relationships of surface roughness, and whitecap fraction on wave
636parameters. It is therefore recommended to chose version 3.6 over 3.
637

641
642As opposed to the NCAR bulk parametrization, more advanced bulk
643parametrizations such as COARE3.x and ECMWF are meant to be used with the skin
644temperature $T_s$ rather than the bulk SST (which, in NEMO is the temperature at
645the first T-point level, see \autoref{subsec:SBC_blkform}).
646
647As such, the relevant cool-skin and warm-layer parametrization must be
648activated through \np[=T]{ln_skin_cs}{ln\_skin\_cs}
649and \np[=T]{ln_skin_wl}{ln\_skin\_wl} to use COARE3.x or ECMWF in a consistent
650way.

660recent update from \citet{takaya.bidlot.ea_JGR10} (consideration of the
661turbulence input from Langmuir circulation).
662
663Importantly, COARE warm-layer scheme \iffalse \citep{fairall.ea_19?} \fi includes a prognostic
664equation for the thickness of the warm-layer, while it is considered as constant
665in the ECWMF algorithm.
666
667\subsection{Appropriate use of each bulk parametrization}
668
669\subsubsection{NCAR}
670
671NCAR bulk parametrizations (formerly known as CORE) is meant to be used with the
672CORE II atmospheric forcing \citep{large.yeager_CD09}. The expected sea surface
673temperature is the bulk SST. Hence the following namelist parameters must be
674set:
675
676\begin{forlines}
677  ...
678  ln_NCAR    = .true.
679  ...
680  rn_zqt     = 10.     ! Air temperature & humidity reference height (m)
681  rn_zu      = 10.     ! Wind vector reference height (m)
682  ...
683  ln_skin_cs = .false. ! use the cool-skin parameterization
684  ln_skin_wl = .false. ! use the warm-layer parameterization
685  ...
686  ln_humi_sph = .true. ! humidity "sn_humi" is specific humidity  [kg/kg]
687\end{forlines}
688
689\subsubsection{ECMWF}
690
691With an atmospheric forcing based on a reanalysis of the ECMWF, such as the
692Drakkar Forcing Set \citep{brodeau.barnier.ea_OM10}, we strongly recommend to
693use the ECMWF bulk parametrizations with the cool-skin and warm-layer
694parametrizations activated. In ECMWF reanalyzes, since air temperature and
695humidity are provided at the 2\,m height, and given that the humidity is
696distributed as the dew-point temperature, the namelist must be tuned as follows:
697
698\begin{forlines}
699  ...
700  ln_ECMWF   = .true.
701  ...     
702  rn_zqt     =  2.     ! Air temperature & humidity reference height (m)
703  rn_zu      = 10.     ! Wind vector reference height (m)
704  ...
705  ln_skin_cs = .true. ! use the cool-skin parameterization
706  ln_skin_wl = .true. ! use the warm-layer parameterization
707  ...
708  ln_humi_dpt = .true. !  humidity "sn_humi" is dew-point temperature [K]
709  ...
710\end{forlines}
711
712Note: when \np{ln_ECMWF}{ln\_ECMWF} is selected, the selection
713of \np{ln_skin_cs}{ln\_skin\_cs} and \np{ln_skin_wl}{ln\_skin\_wl} implicitly
714triggers the use of the ECMWF cool-skin and warm-layer parametrizations,
715respectively (found in \textit{sbcblk\_skin\_ecmwf.F90}).
716
717
718
719\subsubsection{COARE 3.x}
720
721Since the ECMWF parametrization is largely based on the COARE* parametrization,
722the two algorithms are very similar in terms of structure and closure
723approach. As such, the namelist tuning for COARE 3.x is identical to that of
724ECMWF:
725
726\begin{forlines}
727  ...
728  ln_COARE3p6 = .true.
729  ...     
730  ln_skin_cs = .true. ! use the cool-skin parameterization
731  ln_skin_wl = .true. ! use the warm-layer parameterization
732  ...
733\end{forlines}
734
735Note: when \np[=T]{ln_COARE3p0}{ln\_COARE3p0} is selected, the selection
736of \np{ln_skin_cs}{ln\_skin\_cs} and \np{ln_skin_wl}{ln\_skin\_wl} implicitly
737triggers the use of the COARE cool-skin and warm-layer parametrizations,
738respectively (found in \textit{sbcblk\_skin\_coare.F90}).

741
742% In a typical bulk algorithm, the BTCs under neutral stability conditions are
743% defined using \emph{in-situ} flux measurements while their dependence on the
744% stability is accounted through the \emph{Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory} and
745% the \emph{flux-profile} relationships \citep[\eg{}][]{Paulson_1970}. BTCs are
746% functions of the wind speed and the near-surface stability of the atmospheric
747% surface layer (hereafter ASL), and hence, depend on $U_B$, $T_s$, $T_z$, $q_s$
748% and $q_z$.
749
750\subsection{Prescribed near-surface atmospheric state}
751
752The atmospheric fields used depend on the bulk formulae used.  In forced mode,
753when a sea-ice model is used, a specific bulk formulation is used.  Therefore,
754different bulk formulae are used for the turbulent fluxes computation over the
755ocean and over sea-ice surface.
756
757%The choice is made by setting to true one of the following namelist
758%variable: \np{ln_NCAR}{ln\_NCAR}, \np{ln_COARE_3p0}{ln\_COARE\_3p0}, \np{ln_COARE_3p6}{ln\_COARE\_3p6}
759%and \np{ln_ECMWF}{ln\_ECMWF}.

851 For sea-ice, three possibilities can be selected:
852a constant transfer coefficient (1.4e-3; default
853value), \citet{lupkes.gryanik.ea_JGRA12} (\np{ln_Cd_L12}{ln\_Cd\_L12}),

855\texttt{\#out\_of\_place.}
856
857Surface turbulent fluxes between sea-ice and the atmosphere can be computed in three different ways:
858
859\begin{itemize}
860\item Constant value (\forcode{Cd_ice=1.4e-3}):
861  default constant value used for momentum and heat neutral transfer coefficients
862\item \citet{lupkes.gryanik.ea_JGRA12} (\np[=.true.]{ln_Cd_L12}{ln\_Cd\_L12}):
863  This scheme adds a dependency on edges at leads, melt ponds and flows
864  of the constant neutral air-ice drag. After some approximations,
865  this can be resumed to a dependency on ice concentration (A).
866  This drag coefficient has a parabolic shape (as a function of ice concentration)
867  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.
868  It is theoretically applicable to all ice conditions (not only MIZ).
869\item \citet{lupkes.gryanik_JGR15} (\np[=.true.]{ln_Cd_L15}{ln\_Cd\_L15}):
870  Alternative turbulent transfer coefficients formulation between sea-ice
871  and atmosphere with distinct momentum and heat coefficients depending
872  on sea-ice concentration and atmospheric stability (no melt-ponds effect for now).
873  The parameterization is adapted from ECHAM6 atmospheric model.
874  Compared to Lupkes2012 scheme, it considers specific skin and form drags
875  to compute neutral transfer coefficients for both heat and momentum fluxes.
876  Atmospheric stability effect on transfer coefficient is also taken into account.

889In the coupled formulation of the surface boundary condition,
890the fluxes are provided by the OASIS coupler at a frequency which is defined in the OASIS coupler namelist,
891while sea and ice surface temperature, ocean and ice albedo, and ocean currents are sent to
892the atmospheric component.
893
894A generalised coupled interface has been developed.
895It is currently interfaced with OASIS-3-MCT versions 1 to 4 (\key{oasis3}).
896An additional specific CPP key (\key{oa3mct\_v1v2}) is needed for OASIS-3-MCT versions 1 and 2.
897It has been successfully used to interface \NEMO\ to most of the European atmospheric GCM
898(ARPEGE, ECHAM, ECMWF, HadAM, HadGAM, LMDz), as well as to \href{http://wrf-model.org/}{WRF}
899(Weather Research and Forecasting Model).
900
901When PISCES biogeochemical model (\key{top}) is also used in the coupled system,
902the whole carbon cycle is computed.
903In this case, CO$_2$ fluxes will be exchanged between the atmosphere and the ice-ocean system
904(and need to be activated in \nam{sbc_cpl}{sbc\_cpl} ).
905
906
907When an external wave model (see \autoref{sec:SBC_wave}) is used in the coupled system, wave parameters, surface currents and sea surface height can be exchanged between both models (and need to be activated in \nam{sbc_cpl}{sbc\_cpl} ).
908
909
910The namelist above allows control of various aspects of the coupling fields (particularly for vectors) and
911now allows for any coupling fields to have multiple sea ice categories (as required by LIM3 and CICE).
912When indicating a multi-category coupling field in \nam{sbc_cpl}{sbc\_cpl}, the number of categories will be determined by
913the number used in the sea ice model.
914In some limited cases, it may be possible to specify single category coupling fields even when
915the sea ice model is running with multiple categories -
916in this case, the user should examine the code to be sure the assumptions made are satisfactory.
917In cases where this is definitely not possible, the model should abort with an error message.

929The optional atmospheric pressure can be used to force ocean and ice dynamics
930(\np[=.true.]{ln_apr_dyn}{ln\_apr\_dyn}, \nam{sbc}{sbc} namelist).
931The input atmospheric forcing defined via \np{sn_apr}{sn\_apr} structure (\nam{sbc_apr}{sbc\_apr} namelist)
932can be interpolated in time to the model time step, and even in space when the interpolation on-the-fly is used.
933When used to force the dynamics, the atmospheric pressure is further transformed into
934an equivalent inverse barometer sea surface height, $\eta_{ib}$, using:
935\[
936  % \label{eq:SBC_ssh_ib}
937  \eta_{ib} = -  \frac{1}{g\,\rho_o}  \left( P_{atm} - P_o \right)
938\]
939where $P_{atm}$ is the atmospheric pressure and $P_o$ a reference atmospheric pressure.
940A value of $101,000~N/m^2$ is used unless \np{ln_ref_apr}{ln\_ref\_apr} is set to true.
941In this case, $P_o$ is set to the value of $P_{atm}$ averaged over the ocean domain,
942\ie\ the mean value of $\eta_{ib}$ is kept to zero at all time steps.
943
944The gradient of $\eta_{ib}$ is added to the RHS of the ocean momentum equation (see \mdl{dynspg} for the ocean).
945For sea-ice, the sea surface height, $\eta_m$, which is provided to the sea ice model is set to $\eta - \eta_{ib}$
946(see \mdl{sbcssr} module).
947$\eta_{ib}$ can be written in the output.
948This can simplify altimetry data and model comparison as
949inverse barometer sea surface height is usually removed from these date prior to their distribution.
950
951When using time-splitting and BDY package for open boundaries conditions,
952the equivalent inverse barometer sea surface height $\eta_{ib}$ can be added to BDY ssh data:
953\np{ln_apr_obc}{ln\_apr\_obc}  might be set to true.

965\subsection{Tidal constituents}
966Ocean model component TDE provides the common functionality for tidal forcing
967and tidal analysis in the model framework. This includes the computation of the gravitational
968surface forcing, as well as support for lateral forcing at open boundaries (see
969\autoref{subsec:LBC_bdy_tides}) and tidal harmonic analysis \iffalse (see
970\autoref{subsec:DIA_diamlr?} and \autoref{subsec:DIA_diadetide?}) \fi . The module is
971activated with \np[=.true.]{ln_tide}{ln\_tide} in namelist
972\nam{_tide}{\_tide}. It provides the same 34 tidal constituents that are
973included in the
974\href{https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/en/data/products/auxiliary-products/global-tide-fes.html}{FES2014

979  set to \forcode{0}, in which case the 19 tidal constituents (M2, N2, 2N2, S2,
980  K2, K1, O1, Q1, P1, M4, Mf, Mm, Msqm, Mtm, S1, MU2, NU2, L2, and T2; see file
981  \textit{tide.h90}) and associated parameters that have been available in NEMO version
982  4.0 and earlier are available}. Constituents to be included in the tidal forcing
983(surface and lateral boundaries) are selected by enumerating their respective
984names in namelist array \np{sn_tide_cnames}{sn\_tide\_cnames}.\par
985
986\subsection{Surface tidal forcing}
987Surface tidal forcing can be represented in the model through an additional
988barotropic force in the momentum equation (\autoref{eq:MB_PE_dyn}) such that:
989\[
990  \frac{\partial {\mathrm {\mathbf U}}_h }{\partial t} = \ldots +g\nabla (\gamma
991  \Pi_{eq} + \Pi_{sal})
992\]
993where $\gamma \Pi_{eq}$ stands for the equilibrium tidal forcing scaled by a spatially
994uniform tilt factor $\gamma$, and $\Pi_{sal}$ is an optional
995self-attraction and loading term (SAL). These additional terms are enabled when,
996in addition to \np[=.true.]{ln_tide}{ln\_tide}),
997\np[=.true.]{ln_tide_pot}{ln\_tide\_pot}.\par
998
999The equilibrium tidal forcing is expressed as a sum over the subset of
1000constituents listed in \np{sn_tide_cnames}{sn\_tide\_cnames} of
1001\nam{_tide} (e.g.,
1002\begin{forlines}
1003      sn_tide_cnames(1) = 'M2'
1004      sn_tide_cnames(2) = 'K1'
1005      sn_tide_cnames(3) = 'S2'
1006      sn_tide_cnames(4) = 'O1'
1007\end{forlines}
1008to select the four tidal constituents of strongest equilibrium tidal
1009potential). The tidal tilt factor $\gamma = 1 + k - h$ includes the
1010Love numbers $k$ and $h$ \citep{love_PRSL09}; this factor is
1011configurable using \np{rn_tide_gamma}{rn\_tide\_gamma} (default value 0.7). Optionally,
1012when \np[=.true.]{ln_tide_ramp}{ln\_tide\_ramp}, the equilibrium tidal
1013forcing can be ramped up linearly from zero during the initial
1014\np{rn_tide_ramp_dt}{rn\_tide\_ramp\_dt} days of the model run.\par
1015
1016The SAL term should in principle be computed online as it depends on
1017the model tidal prediction itself (see \citet{arbic.garner.ea_DSR04} for a
1018discussion about the practical implementation of this term). The complex
1019calculations involved in such computations, however, are computationally very
1020expensive. Here, two mutually exclusive simpler variants are available:
1021amplitudes generated by an external model for oscillatory $\Pi_{sal}$
1022contributions from each of the selected tidal constituents can be read in
1023(\np[=.true.]{ln_read_load}{ln\_read\_load}) from the file specified in
1024\np{cn_tide_load}{cn\_tide\_load} (the variable names are comprised of the
1025tidal-constituent name and suffixes \forcode{_z1} and \forcode{_z2} for the two
1026orthogonal components, respectively); alternatively, a ``scalar approximation''
1027can be used (\np[=.true.]{ln_scal_load}{ln\_scal\_load}), where
1028\[
1029  \Pi_{sal} = \beta \eta,
1030\]
1031with a spatially uniform coefficient $\beta$, which can be configured
1032via \np{rn_scal_load}{rn\_scal\_load} (default value 0.094) and is
1033often tuned to minimize tidal prediction errors.\par
1034
1035For diagnostic purposes, the forcing potential of the individual tidal
1036constituents (incl. load ptential, if activated) and the total forcing
1037potential (incl. load potential, if activated) can be made available
1038as diagnostic output by setting
1039\np[=.true.]{ln_tide_dia}{ln\_tide\_dia} (fields
1040\forcode{tide_pot_<constituent>} and \forcode{tide_pot}).\par

1052%River runoff generally enters the ocean at a nonzero depth rather than through the surface.
1053%Many models, however, have traditionally inserted river runoff to the top model cell.
1054%This was the case in \NEMO\ prior to the version 3.3. The switch toward a input of runoff
1055%throughout a nonzero depth has been motivated by the numerical and physical problems
1056%that arise when the top grid cells are of the order of one meter. This situation is common in
1057%coastal modelling and becomes more and more often open ocean and climate modelling
1058%\footnote{At least a top cells thickness of 1~meter and a 3 hours forcing frequency are
1059%required to properly represent the diurnal cycle \citep{bernie.woolnough.ea_JC05}. see also \autoref{fig:SBC_dcy}.}.
1060
1061%To do this we need to treat evaporation/precipitation fluxes and river runoff differently in the
1062%\mdl{tra\_sbc} module.  We decided to separate them throughout the code, so that the variable
1063%\textit{emp} represented solely evaporation minus precipitation fluxes, and a new 2d variable
1064%rnf was added which represents the volume flux of river runoff (in kg/m2s to remain consistent with
1065%emp).  This meant many uses of emp and emps needed to be changed, a list of all modules which use
1066%emp or emps and the changes made are below:
1067
1068%Rachel:
1069River runoff generally enters the ocean at a nonzero depth rather than through the surface.
1070Many models, however, have traditionally inserted river runoff to the top model cell.
1071This was the case in \NEMO\ prior to the version 3.3,
1072and was combined with an option to increase vertical mixing near the river mouth.
1073
1074However, with this method numerical and physical problems arise when the top grid cells are of the order of one meter.
1075This situation is common in coastal modelling and is becoming more common in open ocean and climate modelling
1076\footnote{
1077  At least a top cells thickness of 1~meter and a 3 hours forcing frequency are required to
1078  properly represent the diurnal cycle \citep{bernie.woolnough.ea_JC05}.
1079  see also \autoref{fig:SBC_dcy}.}.
1080
1081As such from V~3.3 onwards it is possible to add river runoff through a non-zero depth,
1082and for the temperature and salinity of the river to effect the surrounding ocean.
1083The user is able to specify, in a NetCDF input file, the temperature and salinity of the river,
1084along with the depth (in metres) which the river should be added to.
1085
1086Namelist variables in \nam{sbc_rnf}{sbc\_rnf}, \np{ln_rnf_depth}{ln\_rnf\_depth}, \np{ln_rnf_sal}{ln\_rnf\_sal} and
1087\np{ln_rnf_temp}{ln\_rnf\_temp} control whether the river attributes (depth, salinity and temperature) are read in and used.
1088If these are set as false the river is added to the surface box only, assumed to be fresh (0~psu),
1089and/or taken as surface temperature respectively.
1090
1091The runoff value and attributes are read in in sbcrnf.
1092For temperature -999 is taken as missing data and the river temperature is taken to
1093be the surface temperatue at the river point.
1094For the depth parameter a value of -1 means the river is added to the surface box only,
1095and a value of -999 means the river is added through the entire water column.
1096After being read in the temperature and salinity variables are multiplied by the amount of runoff
1097(converted into m/s) to give the heat and salt content of the river runoff.
1098After the user specified depth is read ini,
1099the number of grid boxes this corresponds to is calculated and stored in the variable \np{nz_rnf}{nz\_rnf}.
1100The variable \textit{h\_dep} is then calculated to be the depth (in metres) of
1101the bottom of the lowest box the river water is being added to
1102(\ie\ the total depth that river water is being added to in the model).
1103
1104The mass/volume addition due to the river runoff is, at each relevant depth level, added to
1105the horizontal divergence (\textit{hdivn}) in the subroutine \rou{sbc\_rnf\_div} (called from \mdl{divhor}).
1106This increases the diffusion term in the vicinity of the river, thereby simulating a momentum flux.
1107The sea surface height is calculated using the sum of the horizontal divergence terms,
1108and so the river runoff indirectly forces an increase in sea surface height.
1109
1110The \textit{hdivn} terms are used in the tracer advection modules to force vertical velocities.
1111This causes a mass of water, equal to the amount of runoff, to be moved into the box above.
1112The heat and salt content of the river runoff is not included in this step,
1113and so the tracer concentrations are diluted as water of ocean temperature and salinity is moved upward out of
1114the box and replaced by the same volume of river water with no corresponding heat and salt addition.
1115
1116For the linear free surface case, at the surface box the tracer advection causes a flux of water
1117(of equal volume to the runoff) through the sea surface out of the domain,
1118which causes a salt and heat flux out of the model.
1119As such the volume of water does not change, but the water is diluted.
1120
1121For the non-linear free surface case, no flux is allowed through the surface.
1122Instead in the surface box (as well as water moving up from the boxes below) a volume of runoff water is added with
1123no corresponding heat and salt addition and so as happens in the lower boxes there is a dilution effect.
1124(The runoff addition to the top box along with the water being moved up through
1125boxes below means the surface box has a large increase in volume, whilst all other boxes remain the same size)
1126
1127In trasbc the addition of heat and salt due to the river runoff is added.
1128This is done in the same way for both vvl and non-vvl.
1129The temperature and salinity are increased through the specified depth according to
1130the heat and salt content of the river.
1131
1132In the non-linear free surface case (vvl),
1133near the end of the time step the change in sea surface height is redistrubuted through the grid boxes,
1134so that the original ratios of grid box heights are restored.
1135In doing this water is moved into boxes below, throughout the water column,
1136so the large volume addition to the surface box is spread between all the grid boxes.
1137
1138It is also possible for runnoff to be specified as a negative value for modelling flow through straits,
1139\ie\ modelling the Baltic flow in and out of the North Sea.
1140When the flow is out of the domain there is no change in temperature and salinity,
1141regardless of the namelist options used,
1142as the ocean water leaving the domain removes heat and salt (at the same concentration) with it.

1154\cmtgm{  word doc of runoffs:
1155In the current \NEMO\ setup river runoff is added to emp fluxes,
1156these are then applied at just the sea surface as a volume change (in the variable volume case
1157this is a literal volume change, and in the linear free surface case the free surface is moved)
1158and a salt flux due to the concentration/dilution effect.
1159There is also an option to increase vertical mixing near river mouths;
1160this gives the effect of having a 3d river.
1161All river runoff and emp fluxes are assumed to be fresh water (zero salinity) and
1162at the same temperature as the sea surface.
1163Our aim was to code the option to specify the temperature and salinity of river runoff,
1164(as well as the amount), along with the depth that the river water will affect.
1165This would make it possible to model low salinity outflow, such as the Baltic,
1166and would allow the ocean temperature to be affected by river runoff.
1167
1168The depth option makes it possible to have the river water affecting just the surface layer,
1169throughout depth, or some specified point in between.
1170
1171To do this we need to treat evaporation/precipitation fluxes and river runoff differently in
1172the \mdl{tra_sbc} module.
1173We decided to separate them throughout the code,
1174so that the variable emp represented solely evaporation minus precipitation fluxes,
1175and a new 2d variable rnf was added which represents the volume flux of river runoff
1176(in $kg/m^2s$ to remain consistent with $emp$).
1177This meant many uses of emp and emps needed to be changed,

1200     If \np{ln_isfcav_mlt}{ln\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = .false.}, thermodynamics interactions are desctivated but the ocean dynamics inside the cavity is still active.
1201     The logical flag \np{ln_isfcav}{ln\_isfcav} control whether or not the ice shelf cavities are closed. \np{ln_isfcav}{ln\_isfcav} is not defined in the namelist but in the domcfg.nc input file.\\
1202
1203     3 options are available to represent to ice-shelf/ocean fluxes at the interface:
1204     \begin{description}
1205        \item[\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'spe'}]:
1206        The fresh water flux is specified by a forcing fields \np{sn_isfcav_fwf}{sn\_isfcav\_fwf}. Convention of the input file is: positive toward the ocean (i.e. positive for melting and negative for freezing).
1207        The latent heat fluxes is derived from the fresh water flux.
1208        The heat content flux is derived from the fwf flux assuming a temperature set to the freezing point in the top boundary layer (\np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl})
1209
1210        \item[\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'oasis'}]:
1211        The \forcode{'oasis'} is a prototype of what could be a method to spread precipitation on Antarctic ice sheet as ice shelf melt inside the cavity when a coupled model Atmosphere/Ocean is used.
1212        It has not been tested and therefore the model will stop if you try to use it.
1213        Actions will be undertake in 2020 to build a comprehensive interface to do so for Greenland, Antarctic and ice shelf (cav), ice shelf (par), icebergs, subglacial runoff and runoff.
1214
1215        \item[\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = '2eq'}]:
1216        The heat flux and the fresh water flux (negative for melting) resulting from ice shelf melting/freezing are parameterized following \citet{Grosfeld1997}.
1217        This formulation is based on a balance between the vertical diffusive heat flux across the ocean top boundary layer (\autoref{eq:ISOMIP1})
1218        and the latent heat due to melting/freezing (\autoref{eq:ISOMIP2}):
1219
1220        \begin{equation}
1221        \label{eq:ISOMIP1}
1222        \mathcal{Q}_h = \rho c_p \gamma (T_w - T_f)
1223        \end{equation}
1224        \begin{equation}
1225        \label{eq:ISOMIP2}
1226        q = \frac{-\mathcal{Q}_h}{L_f}
1227        \end{equation}
1228       
1229        where $\mathcal{Q}_h$($W.m^{-2}$) is the heat flux,q($kg.s^{-1}m^{-2}$) the fresh-water flux,
1230        $L_f$ the specific latent heat, $T_w$ the temperature averaged over a boundary layer below the ice shelf (explained below),
1231        $T_f$ the freezing point using  the  pressure  at  the  ice  shelf  base  and  the  salinity  of the water in the boundary layer,
1232        and $\gamma$ the thermal exchange coefficient.
1233
1234        \item[\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = '3eq'}]:
1235        For realistic studies, the heat and freshwater fluxes are parameterized following \citep{Jenkins2001}. This formulation is based on three equations:
1236        a balance between the vertical diffusive heat flux across the boundary layer
1237        , the latent heat due to melting/freezing of ice and the vertical diffusive heat flux into the ice shelf (\autoref{eq:3eq1});
1238        a balance between the vertical diffusive salt flux across the boundary layer and the salt source or sink represented by the melting/freezing (\autoref{eq:3eq2});
1239        and a linear equation for the freezing temperature of sea water (\autoref{eq:3eq3}, detailed of the linearisation coefficient in \citet{AsayDavis2016}):
1240
1241        \begin{equation}
1242        \label{eq:3eq1}
1243        c_p \rho \gamma_T (T_w-T_b) = -L_f q - \rho_i c_{p,i} \kappa \frac{T_s - T_b}{h_{isf}}
1244        \end{equation}
1245        \begin{equation}
1246        \label{eq:3eq2}
1247        \rho \gamma_S (S_w - S_b) = (S_i - S_b)q
1248        \end{equation}
1249        \begin{equation}
1250        \label{eq:3eq3}
1251        T_b = \lambda_1 S_b + \lambda_2 +\lambda_3 z_{isf}
1252        \end{equation}
1253
1254        where $T_b$ is the temperature at the interface, $S_b$ the salinity at the interface, $\gamma_T$ and $\gamma_S$ the exchange coefficients for temperature and salt, respectively,
1255        $S_i$ the salinity of the ice (assumed to be 0), $h_{isf}$ the ice shelf thickness, $z_{isf}$ the ice shelf draft, $\rho_i$ the density of the iceshelf,
1256        $c_{p,i}$ the specific heat capacity of the ice, $\kappa$ the thermal diffusivity of the ice
1257        and $T_s$ the atmospheric surface temperature (at the ice/air interface, assumed to be -20C).
1258        The Liquidus slope ($\lambda_1$), the liquidus intercept ($\lambda_2$) and the Liquidus pressure coefficient ($\lambda_3$)
1259        for TEOS80 and TEOS10 are described in \citep{AsayDavis2016} and in \citep{Jourdain2017}.
1260        The linear system formed by \autoref{eq:3eq1}, \autoref{eq:3eq2} and the linearised equation for the freezing temperature of sea water (\autoref{eq:3eq3}) can be solved for $S_b$ or $T_b$.
1261        Afterward, the freshwater flux ($q$) and the heat flux ($\mathcal{Q}_h$) can be computed.

1282     Temperature and salinity used to compute the fluxes in \autoref{eq:ISOMIP1}, \autoref{eq:3eq1} and \autoref{eq:3eq2} are the average temperature in the top boundary layer \citep{losch_JGR08}.
1283     Its thickness is defined by \np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl}.
1284     The fluxes and friction velocity are computed using the mean temperature, salinity and velocity in the first \np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl} m.
1285     Then, the fluxes are spread over the same thickness (ie over one or several cells).
1286     If \np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl} is larger than top $e_{3}t$, there is no more direct feedback between the freezing point at the interface and the top cell temperature.
1287     This can lead to super-cool temperature in the top cell under melting condition.
1288     If \np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl} smaller than top $e_{3}t$, the top boundary layer thickness is set to the top cell thickness.\\
1289
1290     Each melt formula (\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = '3eq'} or \np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = '2eq'}) depends on an exchange coeficient ($\Gamma^{T,S}$) between the ocean and the ice.
1291     Below, the exchange coeficient $\Gamma^{T}$ and $\Gamma^{S}$ are respectively defined by \np{rn_gammat0}{rn\_gammat0} and \np{rn_gammas0}{rn\_gammas0}.
1292     There are 3 different ways to compute the exchange velocity:
1293
1294     \begin{description}
1295        \item[\np{cn_gammablk}{cn\_gammablk}\forcode{='spe'}]:
1296        The salt and heat exchange coefficients are constant and defined by:
1297\[
1298\gamma^{T} = \Gamma^{T}
1299\]
1300\[
1301\gamma^{S} = \Gamma^{S}
1302\] 
1303        This is the recommended formulation for ISOMIP.
1304
1305   \item[\np{cn_gammablk}{cn\_gammablk}\forcode{='vel'}]:
1306        The salt and heat exchange coefficients are velocity dependent and defined as
1307\[
1308\gamma^{T} = \Gamma^{T} \times u_{*}
1309\]
1310\[
1311\gamma^{S} = \Gamma^{S} \times u_{*}
1312\]
1313        where $u_{*}$ is the friction velocity in the top boundary layer (ie first \np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl} meters).
1314        See \citet{jenkins.nicholls.ea_JPO10} for all the details on this formulation. It is the recommended formulation for realistic application and ISOMIP+/MISOMIP configuration.
1315
1316   \item[\np{cn_gammablk}{cn\_gammablk}\forcode{'vel\_stab'}]:
1317        The salt and heat exchange coefficients are velocity and stability dependent and defined as:
1318\[
1319\gamma^{T,S} = \frac{u_{*}}{\Gamma_{Turb} + \Gamma^{T,S}_{Mole}}
1320\]
1321        where $u_{*}$ is the friction velocity in the top boundary layer (ie first \np{rn_tbl}{rn\_htbl} meters),
1322        $\Gamma_{Turb}$ the contribution of the ocean stability and
1323        $\Gamma^{T,S}_{Mole}$ the contribution of the molecular diffusion.
1324        See \citet{holland.jenkins_JPO99} for all the details on this formulation.
1325        This formulation has not been extensively tested in NEMO (not recommended).

1328\subsection{Ocean/Ice shelf fluxes in parametrised cavities}
1329
1330  \begin{description}
1331
1332     \item[\np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'bg03'}]:
1333     The ice shelf cavities are not represented.
1334     The fwf and heat flux are computed using the \citet{beckmann.goosse_OM03} parameterisation of isf melting.
1335     The fluxes are distributed along the ice shelf edge between the depth of the average grounding line (GL)
1336     (\np{sn_isfpar_zmax}{sn\_isfpar\_zmax}) and the base of the ice shelf along the calving front
1337     (\np{sn_isfpar_zmin}{sn\_isfpar\_zmin}) as in (\np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'spe'}).
1338     The effective melting length (\np{sn_isfpar_Leff}{sn\_isfpar\_Leff}) is read from a file.
1339     This parametrisation has not been tested since a while and based on \citet{Favier2019},
1340     this parametrisation should probably not be used.
1341
1342     \item[\np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'spe'}]:
1343     The ice shelf cavity is not represented.
1344     The fwf (\np{sn_isfpar_fwf}{sn\_isfpar\_fwf}) is prescribed and distributed along the ice shelf edge between
1345     the depth of the average grounding line (GL) (\np{sn_isfpar_zmax}{sn\_isfpar\_zmax}) and
1346     the base of the ice shelf along the calving front (\np{sn_isfpar_zmin}{sn\_isfpar\_min}). Convention of the input file is positive toward the ocean (i.e. positive for melting and negative for freezing).
1347     The heat flux ($Q_h$) is computed as $Q_h = fwf \times L_f$.
1348
1349     \item[\np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'oasis'}]:
1350     The \forcode{'oasis'} is a prototype of what could be a method to spread precipitation on Antarctic ice sheet as ice shelf melt inside the cavity when a coupled model Atmosphere/Ocean is used.
1351     It has not been tested and therefore the model will stop if you try to use it.
1352     Action will be undertake in 2020 to build a comprehensive interface to do so for Greenland, Antarctic and ice shelf (cav), ice shelf (par), icebergs, subglacial runoff and runoff.

1355
1356\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = '2eq'}, \np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = '3eq'} and \np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'bg03'} compute a melt rate based on
1357the water mass properties, ocean velocities and depth.
1358The resulting fluxes are thus highly dependent of the model resolution (horizontal and vertical) and
1359realism of the water masses onto the shelf.\\
1360
1361\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'spe'} and \np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'spe'} read the melt rate from a file.
1362You have total control of the fwf forcing.
1363This can be useful if the water masses on the shelf are not realistic or
1364the resolution (horizontal/vertical) are too coarse to have realistic melting or
1365for studies where you need to control your heat and fw input.
1366However, if your forcing is not consistent with the dynamics below you can reach unrealistic low water temperature.\\
1367
1368The ice shelf fwf is implemented as a volume flux as for the runoff.
1369The fwf addition due to the ice shelf melting is, at each relevant depth level, added to
1370the horizontal divergence (\textit{hdivn}) in the subroutine \rou{isf\_hdiv}, called from \mdl{divhor}.
1371See the runoff section \autoref{sec:SBC_rnf} for all the details about the divergence correction.\\

1426\subsection{Ice sheet coupling}
1427\label{subsec:ISF_iscpl}
1428
1429Ice sheet/ocean coupling is done through file exchange at the restart step.
1430At each restart step, the procedure is this one:
1431
1432\begin{description}
1433\item[Step 1]: the ice sheet model send a new bathymetry and ice shelf draft netcdf file.
1434\item[Step 2]: a new domcfg.nc file is built using the DOMAINcfg tools.
1435\item[Step 3]: NEMO run for a specific period and output the average melt rate over the period.
1436\item[Step 4]: the ice sheet model run using the melt rate outputed in step 3.
1437\item[Step 5]: go back to 1.
1438\end{description}
1439
1440If \np{ln_iscpl}{ln\_iscpl}\forcode{ = .true.}, the isf draft is assume to be different at each restart step with
1441potentially some new wet/dry cells due to the ice sheet dynamics/thermodynamics.
1442The wetting and drying scheme, applied on the restart, is very simple. The 6 different possible cases for the tracer and ssh are:
1443
1444\begin{description}
1445   \item[Thin a cell]:
1446   T/S/ssh are unchanged.
1447
1448   \item[Enlarge  a cell]:
1449   See case "Thin a cell down"
1450
1451   \item[Dry a cell]:
1452   Mask, T/S, U/V and ssh are set to 0.
1453
1454   \item[Wet a cell]:
1455   Mask is set to 1, T/S is extrapolated from neighbours, $ssh_n = ssh_b$.
1456   If no neighbours, T/S is extrapolated from old top cell value.
1457   If no neighbours along i,j and k (both previous tests failed), T/S/ssh and mask are set to 0.
1458
1459   \item[Dry a column]:
1460   mask, T/S and ssh are set to 0.
1461
1462   \item[Wet a column]:
1463   set mask to 1, T/S/ssh are extrapolated from neighbours.
1464   If no neighbour, T/S/ssh and mask set to 0.
1465\end{description}
1466
1467The method described above will strongly affect the barotropic transport under an ice shelf when the geometry change.
1468In order to keep the model stable, an adjustment of the dynamics at the initialisation after the coupling step is needed.
1469The idea behind this is to keep $\pd[\eta]{t}$ as it should be without change in geometry at the initialisation.
1470This will prevent any strong velocity due to large pressure gradient.
1471To do so, we correct the horizontal divergence before $\pd[\eta]{t}$ is computed in the first time step.\\
1472
1473Furthermore, as the before and now fields are not compatible (modification of the geometry),
1474the restart time step is prescribed to be an euler time step instead of a leap frog and $fields_b = fields_n$.\\
1475
1476The horizontal extrapolation to fill new cell with realistic value is called \np{nn_drown}{nn\_drown} times.
1477It means that if the grounding line retreat by more than \np{nn_drown}{nn\_drown} cells between 2 coupling steps,
1478the code will be unable to fill all the new wet cells properly and the model is likely to blow up at the initialisation.
1479The default number is set up for the MISOMIP idealised experiments.
1480This coupling procedure is able to take into account grounding line and calving front migration.
1481However, it is a non-conservative proccess.
1482This could lead to a trend in heat/salt content and volume.\\
1483
1484In order to remove the trend and keep the conservation level as close to 0 as possible,
1485a simple conservation scheme is available with \np{ln_isfcpl_cons}{ln\_isfcpl\_cons}\forcode{ = .true.}.
1486The heat/salt/vol. gain/loss are diagnosed, as well as the location.
1487A correction increment is computed and applied each time step during the model run.
1488The corrective increment are applied into the cells itself (if it is a wet cell), the neigbouring cells or the closest wet cell (if the cell is now dry).

1496  \caption{\forcode{&namberg}}

1499
1500Icebergs are modelled as lagrangian particles in \NEMO\ \citep{marsh.ivchenko.ea_GMD15}.
1501Their physical behaviour is controlled by equations as described in \citet{martin.adcroft_OM10} ).
1502(Note that the authors kindly provided a copy of their code to act as a basis for implementation in \NEMO).
1503Icebergs are initially spawned into one of ten classes which have specific mass and thickness as
1504described in the \nam{berg}{berg} namelist: \np{rn_initial_mass}{rn\_initial\_mass} and \np{rn_initial_thickness}{rn\_initial\_thickness}.
1505Each class has an associated scaling (\np{rn_mass_scaling}{rn\_mass\_scaling}),
1506which is an integer representing how many icebergs of this class are being described as one lagrangian point
1507(this reduces the numerical problem of tracking every single iceberg).
1508They are enabled by setting \np[=.true.]{ln_icebergs}{ln\_icebergs}.
1509
1510Two initialisation schemes are possible.
1511\begin{description}
1512\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
1513  (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
1514  which an iceberg is generated at the beginning of the run.
1515  (Note that this happens each time the timestep equals \np{nn_nit000}{nn\_nit000}.)
1516  \np{nn_test_icebergs}{nn\_test\_icebergs} is defined by four numbers in \np{nn_test_box}{nn\_test\_box} representing the corners of
1517  the geographical box: lonmin,lonmax,latmin,latmax
1518\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.
1519  This should be a file with a field on the configuration grid (typically ORCA)
1520  representing ice accumulation rate at each model point.
1521  These should be ocean points adjacent to land where icebergs are known to calve.
1522  Most points in this input grid are going to have value zero.
1523  When the model runs, ice is accumulated at each grid point which has a non-zero source term.
1524  At each time step, a test is performed to see if there is enough ice mass to
1525  calve an iceberg of each class in order (1 to 10).
1526  Note that this is the initial mass multiplied by the number each particle represents (\ie\ the scaling).
1527  If there is enough ice, a new iceberg is spawned and the total available ice reduced accordingly.
1528\end{description}
1529
1530Icebergs are influenced by wind, waves and currents, bottom melt and erosion.
1531The latter act to disintegrate the iceberg.
1532This is either all melted freshwater,
1533or (if \np{rn_bits_erosion_fraction}{rn\_bits\_erosion\_fraction}~$>$~0) into melt and additionally small ice bits
1534which are assumed to propagate with their larger parent and thus delay fluxing into the ocean.
1535Melt water (and other variables on the configuration grid) are written into the main \NEMO\ model output files.
1536
1537By default, iceberg thermodynamic and dynamic are computed using ocean surface variable (sst, ssu, ssv) and the icebergs are not sensible to the bathymetry (only to land) whatever the iceberg draft.
1538\citet{Merino_OM2016} developed an option to use vertical profiles of ocean currents and temperature instead (\np{ln_M2016}{ln\_M2016}).
1539Full details on the sensitivity to this parameter in done in \citet{Merino_OM2016}.
1540If \np{ln_M2016}{ln\_M2016} activated, \np{ln_icb_grd}{ln\_icb\_grd} activate (or not) an option to prevent thick icebergs to move across shallow bank (ie shallower than the iceberg draft).
1541This option need to be used with care as it could required to either change the distribution to prevent generation of icebergs with draft larger than the bathymetry
1542or to build a variable \forcode{maxclass} to prevent NEMO filling the icebergs classes too thick for the local bathymetry.
1543
1544Extensive diagnostics can be produced.
1545Separate output files are maintained for human-readable iceberg information.
1546A separate file is produced for each processor (independent of \np{ln_ctl}{ln\_ctl}).
1547The amount of information is controlled by two integer parameters:
1548\begin{description}
1549\item [{\np{nn_verbose_level}{nn\_verbose\_level}}] takes a value between one and four and
1550  represents an increasing number of points in the code at which variables are written,
1551  and an increasing level of obscurity.
1552\item [{\np{nn_verbose_write}{nn\_verbose\_write}}] is the number of timesteps between writes
1553\end{description}
1554
1555Iceberg trajectories can also be written out and this is enabled by setting \np{nn_sample_rate}{nn\_sample\_rate}~$>$~0.
1556A non-zero value represents how many timesteps between writes of information into the output file.
1557These output files are in NETCDF format.
1558When \key{mpp\_mpi} is defined, each output file contains only those icebergs in the corresponding processor.
1559Trajectory points are written out in the order of their parent iceberg in the model's "linked list" of icebergs.
1560So care is needed to recreate data for individual icebergs,
1561since its trajectory data may be spread across multiple files.

1573Ocean waves represent the interface between the ocean and the atmosphere, so \NEMO\ is extended to incorporate
1574physical processes related to ocean surface waves, namely the surface stress modified by growth and
1575dissipation of the oceanic wave field, the Stokes-Coriolis force, the vortex-force, the Bernoulli head J term and the Stokes drift impact on mass and tracer advection; moreover the neutral surface drag coefficient or the Charnock parameter from a wave model can be used to evaluate the wind stress. NEMO has also been extended to take into account the impact of surface waves on the vertical mixing, via the parameterization of the Langmuir turbulence, the modification of the surface boundary conditions for the Turbulent Kinetic Energy closure scheme, and the inclusion the Stokes drift contribution to the shear production term in different turbulent closure schemes (RIC, TKE, GLS).\\
1576
1577Physical processes related to ocean surface waves can be accounted by setting the logical variable

1579different processes should be activated as explained in the following sections.\\

1581Wave fields can be provided either in forced or coupled mode:
1582\begin{description}
1583\item [forced mode]: the neutral drag coefficient, the two components of the surface Stokes drift, the significant wave height, the mean wave period, the mean wave number, and the normalized
1584wave stress going into the ocean can be read from external files. Wave fields should be defined through the \nam{sbc_wave}{sbc\_wave} namelist
1585for external data names, locations, frequency, interpolation and all the miscellanous options allowed by
1586Input Data generic Interface (see \autoref{sec:SBC_input}).

NEMO can receive the significant wave height, the mean wave period ($T0M1$), the mean wavenumber, the Charnock parameter, the neutral drag coefficient, the two components of the surface Stokes drift and the associated transport, the wave to ocean momentum flux, the net wave-supported stress, the Bernoulli head $J$ term and the wave to ocean energy flux term.

1615\label{subsec:SBC_wave_sdw}
1616
1617The Stokes drift is a wave driven mechanism of mass and momentum transport \citep{stokes_ibk09}.
1618It is defined as the difference between the average velocity of a fluid parcel (Lagrangian velocity)
1619and the current measured at a fixed point (Eulerian velocity).
1620As waves travel, the water particles that make up the waves travel in orbital motions but
1621without a closed path. Their movement is enhanced at the top of the orbit and slowed slightly
1622at the bottom, so the result is a net forward motion of water particles, referred to as the Stokes drift.
1623An accurate evaluation of the Stokes drift and the inclusion of related processes may lead to improved
1624representation of surface physics in ocean general circulation models. %GS: reference needed
1625The Stokes drift velocity $\mathbf{U}_{st}$ in deep water can be computed from the wave spectrum and may be written as:
1626
1627\[
1628  % \label{eq:SBC_wave_sdw}
1629  \mathbf{U}_{st} = \frac{16{\pi^3}} {g}
1630  \int_0^\infty \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} (cos{\theta},sin{\theta}) {f^3}
1631  \mathrm{S}(f,\theta) \mathrm{e}^{2kz}\,\mathrm{d}\theta {d}f
1632\]
1633
1634where: ${\theta}$ is the wave direction, $f$ is the wave intrinsic frequency,
1635$\mathrm{S}($f$,\theta)$ is the 2D frequency-direction spectrum,
1636$k$ is the mean wavenumber defined as:
1637$k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$ (being $\lambda$ the wavelength). \\
1638
1639In order to evaluate the Stokes drift in a realistic ocean wave field, the wave spectral shape is required
1640and its computation quickly becomes expensive as the 2D spectrum must be integrated for each vertical level.
1641To simplify, it is customary to use approximations to the full Stokes profile.
1642Two possible parameterizations for the calculation for the approximate Stokes drift velocity profile
1643are included in the code once provided the surface Stokes drift $\mathbf{U}_{st |_{z=0}}$ which is evaluated by an external wave model that accurately reproduces the wave spectra and makes possible the estimation of the surface Stokes drift for random directional waves in realistic wave conditions. To evaluate the 3D Stokes drift, the surface Stokes drift (zonal and meridional components), the Stokes transport or alternatively the significant wave height and the mean wave period should be provided either in forced or coupled mode.

1678  k_p = \frac{|\mathbf{U}_{\left.st\right|_{z=0}}|}{2 |T_{st}| } (1-2 \beta /3) 
1679\]
1680
1681$|T_{st}|$ is estimated from integral wave parameters (Hs and Tm) in forced mode and is provided directly from an external wave model in coupled mode.
1682
1683\end{description}
1684
1685The Stokes drift enters the wave-averaged momentum equation, as well as the tracer advection equations
1686and its effect on the evolution of the sea-surface height ${\eta}$ by including the barotropic Stokes transport horizontal divergence in the term $D$ of Eq.\ref{eq:MB_ssh}
1687
1688The tracer advection equation is also modified in order for Eulerian ocean models to properly account
1689for unresolved wave effect. The divergence of the wave tracer flux equals the mean tracer advection
1690that is induced by the three-dimensional Stokes velocity.
1691The advective equation for a tracer $c$ combining the effects of the mean current and sea surface waves
1692can be formulated as follows:

1739\subsection[Wave modified stress (\forcode{ln_tauoc} \& \forcode{ln_taw})]{Wave modified stress (\protect\np{ln_tauoc}{ln\_tauoc} \& \np{ln_taw}{ln\_taw})}
1740\label{subsec:SBC_wave_taw}
1741
1742The surface stress felt by the ocean is the atmospheric stress minus the net stress going
1743into the waves \citep{janssen.breivik.ea_trpt13}. Therefore, when waves are growing, momentum and energy is spent and is not
1744available for forcing the mean circulation, while in the opposite case of a decaying sea
1745state, more momentum is available for forcing the ocean.
1746Only when the sea state is in equilibrium, the ocean is forced by the atmospheric stress,
1747but in practice, an equilibrium sea state is a fairly rare event.
1748So the atmospheric stress felt by the ocean circulation $\tau_{oc,a}$ can be expressed as:
1749
1750\[
1751  % \label{eq:SBC_wave_tauoc}
1752  \tau_{oc,a} = \tau_a - \tau_w
1753\]
1754
1755where $\tau_a$ is the atmospheric surface stress; $\tau_w$ is the atmospheric stress going into the waves defined as:
1756
1757\[
1758  % \label{eq:SBC_wave_tauw}
1759  \tau_w = \rho g \int_{0}^{2\pi} \int {\frac{1}{c_p} (S_{in}+S_{nl}+S_{diss})}dkd\theta
1760\]
1761
1762%% ∫2π0∫∞0kω(Sin+Sds) dωdθ
1763
1764where: $c_p$ is the phase speed of the gravity waves,
1765$S_{in}$, $S_{nl}$ and $S_{diss}$ are three source terms that represent
1766the physics of ocean waves. The first one, $S_{in}$, describes the generation of ocean waves by wind and therefore represents the momentum and energy transfer from air to ocean waves; the second term $S_{nl}$ denotes
1767the nonlinear transfer by resonant four-wave interactions; while the third term $S_{diss}$ describes the dissipation of waves by processes such as white-capping, large scale breaking eddy-induced damping. Note that the $S_{nl}$ is not always taken into account for the calculation of the atmospheric stress going into the waves, depending on the external wave model.
1768The wave stress derived from an external wave model can be provided either through the normalized wave stress into the ocean by setting \np[=.true.]{ln_tauoc}{ln\_tauoc}, or through the zonal and meridional stress components by setting
1769 \np[=.true.]{ln_taw}{ln\_taw} .  In coupled mode both options can be used while in forced mode only the first option is included.
1770 
1771If the normalized wave stress into the ocean ($\widetilde{\tau}$) is provided (\np[=.true.]{ln_tauoc}{ln\_tauoc}) the atmospheric stress felt by the ocean circulation is expressed as:
1772\[
1773  % \label{eq:SBC_wave_tauoc}
1774  \tau_{oc,a} = \tau_a \times \widetilde{\tau}
1775\]
1776
1777If  \np[=.true.]{ln_taw}{ln\_taw} , the zonal and meridional stress fields components from the coupled wave model have to be sent directly to u-grid and v-grid through OASIS.

1783\label{subsec:SBC_wave_TKE}
1784
1785
1786The vortex-force vertical term gives rise to extra terms in the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) prognostic \citep{couvelard_2020}. The first term corresponds to a modification of the shear production term.
1787The Stokes Drift shear contribution can be included, in coupled mode, by setting \np[=.true.]{ln_stshear}{ln\_stshear}.
1788
1789
1790In addition, waves affect the surface boundary condition for the turbulent kinetic energy, the mixing length scale and the dissipative length scale of the TKE closure scheme.
1791The injection of turbulent kinetic energy at the surface can be given by the dissipation of the wave field usually dominated by wave breaking.
1792
1793In coupled mode, the wave to ocean energy flux term from an external wave model ($ \Phi_o $) can be provided to NEMO and then converted into an ocean turbulence source by setting \np[=.true.]{ln_phioc}{ln\_phioc}.
1794The boundary condition for the turbulent kinetic energy is implemented in the \rou{zdftke} as a Dirichlet or as a Neumann boundary condition (see \autoref{subsubsec:ZDF_tke_waveco}). The boundary condition for the mixing length scale and the dissipative length scale can also account for surface waves (see \autoref{subsubsec:ZDF_tke_waveco})
1795
1796Some improvements are introduced in the Langmuir turbulence parameterization (see \autoref{chap:ZDF} \autoref{subsubsec:ZDF_tke_langmuir}) if wave coupled mode is activated.

1814    not as the mid time step value of the analytically cycle (red square).
1815    From \citet{bernie.guilyardi.ea_CD07}.}
1816  \label{fig:SBC_diurnal}
1817\end{figure}
1818
1819\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.
1820%Unfortunately high frequency forcing fields are rare, not to say inexistent. GS: not true anymore !
1821Nevertheless, 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}.
1822Furthermore, only the knowledge of daily mean value of SWF is needed,
1823as higher frequency variations can be reconstructed from them,
1824assuming that the diurnal cycle of SWF is a scaling of the top of the atmosphere diurnal cycle of incident SWF.
1825The \cite{bernie.guilyardi.ea_CD07} reconstruction algorithm is available in \NEMO\ by
1826setting \np[=.true.]{ln_dm2dc}{ln\_dm2dc} (a \textit{\nam{sbc}{sbc}} namelist variable) when
1827using a bulk formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}) or
1828the flux formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}).
1829The reconstruction is performed in the \mdl{sbcdcy} module.
1830The detail of the algoritm used can be found in the appendix~A of \cite{bernie.guilyardi.ea_CD07}.
1831The algorithm preserves the daily mean incoming SWF as the reconstructed SWF at
1832a given time step is the mean value of the analytical cycle over this time step (\autoref{fig:SBC_diurnal}).
1833The use of diurnal cycle reconstruction requires the input SWF to be daily
1834(\ie\ a frequency of 24 hours and a time interpolation set to true in \np{sn_qsr}{sn\_qsr} namelist parameter).
1835Furthermore, it is recommended to have a least 8 surface module time steps per day,
1836that is  $\rdt \ nn\_fsbc < 10,800~s = 3~h$.
1837An example of recontructed SWF is given in \autoref{fig:SBC_dcy} for a 12 reconstructed diurnal cycle,
1838one every 2~hours (from 1am to 11pm).
1839

1849
1850Note also that the setting a diurnal cycle in SWF is highly recommended when
1851the top layer thickness approach 1~m or less, otherwise large error in SST can appear due to
1852an inconsistency between the scale of the vertical resolution and the forcing acting on that scale.

1855\subsection{Rotation of vector pairs onto the model grid directions}
1856\label{subsec:SBC_rotation}
1857
1858When using a flux (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}) or bulk (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}) formulation,
1859pairs of vector components can be rotated from east-north directions onto the local grid directions.
1860This is particularly useful when interpolation on the fly is used since here any vectors are likely to
1861be defined relative to a rectilinear grid.
1862To activate this option, a non-empty string is supplied in the rotation pair column of the relevant namelist.
1863The eastward component must start with "U" and the northward component with "V".
1864The remaining characters in the strings are used to identify which pair of components go together.
1865So for example, strings "U1" and "V1" next to "utau" and "vtau" would pair the wind stress components together and
1866rotate them on to the model grid directions;
1867"U2" and "V2" could be used against a second pair of components, and so on.
1868The extra characters used in the strings are arbitrary.
1869The rot\_rep routine from the \mdl{geo2ocean} module is used to perform the rotation.

1878  \label{lst:namsbc_ssr}
1879\end{listing}
1880
1881Options are defined through the \nam{sbc_ssr}{sbc\_ssr} namelist variables.
1882On forced mode using a flux formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}),
1883a feedback term \emph{must} be added to the surface heat flux $Q_{ns}^o$:
1884\[
1885  % \label{eq:SBC_dmp_q}
1886  Q_{ns} = Q_{ns}^o + \frac{dQ}{dT} \left( \left. T \right|_{k=1} - SST_{Obs} \right)
1887\]
1888where SST is a sea surface temperature field (observed or climatological),
1889$T$ is the model surface layer temperature and
1890$\frac{dQ}{dT}$ is a negative feedback coefficient usually taken equal to $-40~W/m^2/K$.
1891For a $50~m$ mixed-layer depth, this value corresponds to a relaxation time scale of two months.
1892This term ensures that if $T$ perfectly matches the supplied SST, then $Q$ is equal to $Q_o$.
1893
1894In the fresh water budget, a feedback term can also be added.
1895Converted into an equivalent freshwater flux, it takes the following expression :
1896
1897\begin{equation}
1898  \label{eq:SBC_dmp_emp}
1899  \textit{emp} = \textit{emp}_o + \gamma_s^{-1} e_{3t}  \frac{  \left(\left.S\right|_{k=1}-SSS_{Obs}\right)}
1900  {\left.S\right|_{k=1}}
1901\end{equation}
1902
1903where $\textit{emp}_{o }$ is a net surface fresh water flux
1904(observed, climatological or an atmospheric model product),
1905\textit{SSS}$_{Obs}$ is a sea surface salinity
1906(usually a time interpolation of the monthly mean Polar Hydrographic Climatology \citep{steele.morley.ea_JC01}),
1907$\left.S\right|_{k=1}$ is the model surface layer salinity and
1908$\gamma_s$ is a negative feedback coefficient which is provided as a namelist parameter.
1909Unlike heat flux, there is no physical justification for the feedback term in \autoref{eq:SBC_dmp_emp} as
1910the atmosphere does not care about ocean surface salinity \citep{madec.delecluse_IWN97}.
1911The SSS restoring term should be viewed as a flux correction on freshwater fluxes to
1912reduce the uncertainties we have on the observed freshwater budget.

1915\subsection{Handling of ice-covered area  (\textit{sbcice\_...})}
1916\label{subsec:SBC_ice-cover}
1917
1918The presence at the sea surface of an ice covered area modifies all the fluxes transmitted to the ocean.
1919There are several way to handle sea-ice in the system depending on
1920the value of the \np{nn_ice}{nn\_ice} namelist parameter found in \nam{sbc}{sbc} namelist.
1921\begin{description}
1922\item [nn\_ice = 0] there will never be sea-ice in the computational domain.
1923  This is a typical namelist value used for tropical ocean domain.
1924  The surface fluxes are simply specified for an ice-free ocean.
1925  No specific things is done for sea-ice.
1926\item [nn\_ice = 1] sea-ice can exist in the computational domain, but no sea-ice model is used.
1927  An observed ice covered area is read in a file.
1928  Below this area, the SST is restored to the freezing point and
1929  the heat fluxes are set to $-4~W/m^2$ ($-2~W/m^2$) in the northern (southern) hemisphere.
1930  The associated modification of the freshwater fluxes are done in such a way that
1931  the change in buoyancy fluxes remains zero.
1932  This prevents deep convection to occur when trying to reach the freezing point
1933  (and so ice covered area condition) while the SSS is too large.
1934  This manner of managing sea-ice area, just by using a IF case,
1935  is usually referred as the \textit{ice-if} model.
1936  It can be found in the \mdl{sbcice\_if} module.
1937\item [nn\_ice = 2 or more] A full sea ice model is used.
1938  This model computes the ice-ocean fluxes,
1939  that are combined with the air-sea fluxes using the ice fraction of each model cell to
1940  provide the surface averaged ocean fluxes.
1941  Note that the activation of a sea-ice model is done by defining a CPP key (\key{si3} or \key{cice}).
1942  The activation automatically overwrites the read value of nn\_ice to its appropriate value
1943  (\ie\ $2$ for SI3 or $3$ for CICE).

1951\label{subsec:SBC_cice}
1952
1953It is possible to couple a regional or global \NEMO\ configuration (without AGRIF)
1954to the CICE sea-ice model by using \key{cice}.
1955The CICE code can be obtained from \href{http://oceans11.lanl.gov/trac/CICE/}{LANL} and
1956the additional 'hadgem3' drivers will be required, even with the latest code release.
1957Input grid files consistent with those used in \NEMO\ will also be needed,
1958and CICE CPP keys \textbf{ORCA\_GRID}, \textbf{CICE\_IN\_NEMO} and \textbf{coupled} should be used
1959(seek advice from UKMO if necessary).
1960Currently, the code is only designed to work when using the NCAR forcing option for \NEMO\ %GS: still true ?
1961(with \textit{calc\_strair}\forcode{=.true.} and \textit{calc\_Tsfc}\forcode{=.true.} in the CICE name-list),
1962or alternatively when \NEMO\ is coupled to the HadGAM3 atmosphere model
1963(with \textit{calc\_strair}\forcode{=.false.} and \textit{calc\_Tsfc}\forcode{=false}).
1964The code is intended to be used with \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} set to 1
1965(although coupling ocean and ice less frequently should work,
1966it is possible the calculation of some of the ocean-ice fluxes needs to be modified slightly -
1967the user should check that results are not significantly different to the standard case).
1968
1969There are two options for the technical coupling between \NEMO\ and CICE.
1970The standard version allows complete flexibility for the domain decompositions in the individual models,
1971but this is at the expense of global gather and scatter operations in the coupling which
1972become very expensive on larger numbers of processors.
1973The alternative option (using \key{nemocice\_decomp} for both \NEMO\ and CICE) ensures that
1974the domain decomposition is identical in both models (provided domain parameters are set appropriately,
1975and \textit{processor\_shape~=~square-ice} and \textit{distribution\_wght~=~block} in the CICE name-list) and
1976allows much more efficient direct coupling on individual processors.
1977This solution scales much better although it is at the expense of having more idle CICE processors in areas where
1978there is no sea ice.

1989
1990For global ocean simulations, it can be useful to introduce a control of the
1991mean sea level in order to prevent unrealistic drifting of the sea surface
1992height due to unbalanced freshwater fluxes. In \NEMO, two options for
1993controlling the freshwater budget are proposed.
1994
1995\begin{description}
1996\item [{\np[=0]{nn_fwb}{nn\_fwb}}:] No control at all; the mean sea level is
1997  free to drift, and will certainly do so.
1998\item [{\np[=1]{nn_fwb}{nn\_fwb}}:] The global mean \textit{emp} is set to zero at each model time step.
1999  %GS: comment below still relevant ?
2000  %Note that with a sea-ice model, this technique only controls the mean sea level with linear free surface and no mass flux between ocean and ice (as it is implemented in the current ice-ocean coupling).
2001\item [{\np[=2]{nn_fwb}{nn\_fwb}}:] \textit{emp} is adjusted by adding a
2002  spatially uniform, annual-mean freshwater flux that balances the freshwater
2003  budget at the end of the previous year; as the model uses the Boussinesq
2004  approximation, the freshwater budget can be evaluated from the change in the
2005  mean sea level and in the ice and snow mass after the end of each simulation
2006  year; at the start of the model run, an initial adjustment flux can be set
2007  using parameter \np{rn_rwb0}{rn\_fwb0} in namelist \nam{sbc_fwb}{sbc\_fwb}.

2010% Griffies doc:
2011% When running ocean-ice simulations, we are not explicitly representing land processes,
2012% such as rivers, catchment areas, snow accumulation, etc. However, to reduce model drift,
2013% it is important to balance the hydrological cycle in ocean-ice models.
2014% We thus need to prescribe some form of global normalization to the precipitation minus evaporation plus river runoff.
2015% The result of the normalization should be a global integrated zero net water input to the ocean-ice system over
2016% a chosen time scale.
2017% How often the normalization is done is a matter of choice. In mom4p1, we choose to do so at each model time step,
2018% so that there is always a zero net input of water to the ocean-ice system.
2019% Others choose to normalize over an annual cycle, in which case the net imbalance over an annual cycle is used
2020% to alter the subsequent year�s water budget in an attempt to damp the annual water imbalance.
2021% Note that the annual budget approach may be inappropriate with interannually varying precipitation forcing.
2022% When running ocean-ice coupled models, it is incorrect to include the water transport between the ocean
2023% and ice models when aiming to balance the hydrological cycle.
2024% The reason is that it is the sum of the water in the ocean plus ice that should be balanced when running ocean-ice models,
2025% not the water in any one sub-component. As an extreme example to illustrate the issue,
2026% consider an ocean-ice model with zero initial sea ice. As the ocean-ice model spins up,
2027% there should be a net accumulation of water in the growing sea ice, and thus a net loss of water from the ocean.
2028% The total water contained in the ocean plus ice system is constant, but there is an exchange of water between
2029% the subcomponents. This exchange should not be part of the normalization used to balance the hydrological cycle
2030% in ocean-ice models.
