34The ocean needs seven fields as surface boundary condition:
35
36\begin{itemize}
37\item the two components of the surface ocean stress $\left( {\tau_u \;,\;\tau_v} \right)$
38\item the incoming solar and non solar heat fluxes $\left( {Q_{ns} \;,\;Q_{sr} } \right)$
39\item the surface freshwater budget $\left( {\textit{emp}} \right)$
40\item the surface salt flux associated with freezing/melting of seawater $\left( {\textit{sfx}} \right)$
41\item the atmospheric pressure at the ocean surface $\left( p_a \right)$
42\end{itemize}
43
44Four different ways are available to provide the seven fields to the ocean. They are controlled by
45namelist \nam{sbc}{sbc} variables:
46
47\begin{itemize}
48\item a bulk formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}), featuring a selection of four bulk parameterization algorithms,
49\item a flux formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}),
50\item a coupled or mixed forced/coupled formulation (exchanges with a atmospheric model via the OASIS coupler),
51(\np{ln_cpl}{ln\_cpl} or \np[=.true.]{ln_mixcpl}{ln\_mixcpl}),
52\item a user defined formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_usr}{ln\_usr}).
53\end{itemize}
54
55The frequency at which the forcing fields have to be updated is given by the \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} namelist parameter.
56
57When the fields are supplied from data files (bulk, flux and mixed formulations),
58the input fields do not need to be supplied on the model grid.
59Instead, a file of coordinates and weights can be supplied to map the data from the input fields grid to
60the model points (so called "Interpolation on the Fly", see \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}).
61If the "Interpolation on the Fly" option is used, input data belonging to land points (in the native grid)
62should be masked or filled to avoid spurious results in proximity of the coasts, as
63large sea-land gradients characterize most of the atmospheric variables.
64
65In addition, the resulting fields can be further modified using several namelist options.
66These options control:
67
68\begin{itemize}
69\item the rotation of vector components supplied relative to an east-north coordinate system onto
70  the local grid directions in the model,
71\item the use of a land/sea mask for input fields (\np[=.true.]{nn_lsm}{nn\_lsm}),
72\item the addition of a surface restoring term to observed SST and/or SSS (\np[=.true.]{ln_ssr}{ln\_ssr}),
73\item the modification of fluxes below ice-covered areas (using climatological ice-cover or a sea-ice model)
74  (\np[=0..3]{nn_ice}{nn\_ice}),
75\item the addition of river runoffs as surface freshwater fluxes or lateral inflow (\np[=.true.]{ln_rnf}{ln\_rnf}),
76\item the addition of a freshwater flux adjustment in order to avoid a mean sea-level drift
77  (\np[=0..2]{nn_fwb}{nn\_fwb}),
78\item the transformation of the solar radiation (if provided as daily mean) into an analytical diurnal cycle
79  (\np[=.true.]{ln_dm2dc}{ln\_dm2dc}),
80\item the activation of wave effects from an external wave model  (\np[=.true.]{ln_wave}{ln\_wave}),
81\item the light penetration in the ocean (\np[=.true.]{ln_traqsr}{ln\_traqsr} with \nam{tra_qsr}{tra\_qsr}),
82\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}),
83\item the effect of sea-ice pressure on the ocean (\np[=.true.]{ln_ice_embd}{ln\_ice\_embd}).
84\end{itemize}
85
86In this chapter, we first discuss where the surface boundary conditions appear in the model equations.
87Then we present the three ways of providing the surface boundary conditions,
88followed by the description of the atmospheric pressure and the river runoff.
89Next, the scheme for interpolation on the fly is described.
90Finally, the different options that further modify the fluxes applied to the ocean are discussed.
91One of these is modification by icebergs (see \autoref{sec:SBC_ICB_icebergs}),
92which act as drifting sources of fresh water.

95\section{Surface boundary condition for the ocean}
96\label{sec:SBC_ocean}
97
98The surface ocean stress is the stress exerted by the wind and the sea-ice on the ocean.
99It is applied in \mdl{dynzdf} module as a surface boundary condition of the computation of
100the momentum vertical mixing trend (see \autoref{eq:DYN_zdf_sbc} in \autoref{sec:DYN_zdf}).
101As such, it has to be provided as a 2D vector interpolated onto the horizontal velocity ocean mesh,
102\ie\ resolved onto the model (\textbf{i},\textbf{j}) direction at $u$- and $v$-points.
103
104The surface heat flux is decomposed into two parts, a non solar and a solar heat flux,
105$Q_{ns}$ and $Q_{sr}$, respectively.
106The former is the non penetrative part of the heat flux
107(\ie\ the sum of sensible, latent and long wave heat fluxes plus
108the heat content of the mass exchange between the ocean and sea-ice).
109It is applied in \mdl{trasbc} module as a surface boundary condition trend of
110the first level temperature time evolution equation
111(see \autoref{eq:TRA_sbc} and \autoref{eq:TRA_sbc_lin} in \autoref{subsec:TRA_sbc}).
112The latter is the penetrative part of the heat flux.
113It is applied as a 3D trend of the temperature equation (\mdl{traqsr} module) when
114\np[=.true.]{ln_traqsr}{ln\_traqsr}.
115The way the light penetrates inside the water column is generally a sum of decreasing exponentials
116(see \autoref{subsec:TRA_qsr}).
117
118The surface freshwater budget is provided by the \textit{emp} field.
119It represents the mass flux exchanged with the atmosphere (evaporation minus precipitation) and
120possibly with the sea-ice and ice shelves (freezing minus melting of ice).
121It affects the ocean in two different ways:
122$(i)$  it changes the volume of the ocean, and therefore appears in the sea surface height equation as      %GS: autoref ssh equation to be added
123a volume flux, and
124$(ii)$ it changes the surface temperature and salinity through the heat and salt contents of
125the mass exchanged with atmosphere, sea-ice and ice shelves.

142The ocean model provides, at each time step, to the surface module (\mdl{sbcmod})

144These variables are averaged over \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step (\autoref{tab:SBC_ssm}), and
145these averaged fields are used to compute the surface fluxes at the frequency of \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-steps.

171\section{Input data generic interface}
172\label{sec:SBC_input}
173
174A generic interface has been introduced to manage the way input data
175(2D or 3D fields, like surface forcing or ocean T and S) are specified in \NEMO.
176This task is achieved by \mdl{fldread}.
177The module is designed with four main objectives in mind:
178\begin{enumerate}
179\item optionally provide a time interpolation of the input data every specified model time-step, whatever their input frequency is,
180  and according to the different calendars available in the model.
181\item optionally provide an on-the-fly space interpolation from the native input data grid to the model grid.
182\item make the run duration independent from the period cover by the input files.
183\item provide a simple user interface and a rather simple developer interface by
184  limiting the number of prerequisite informations.
185\end{enumerate}
186
187As a result, the user has only to fill in for each variable a structure in the namelist file to
188define the input data file and variable names, the frequency of the data (in hours or months),
189whether its is climatological data or not, the period covered by the input file (one year, month, week or day),
190and three additional parameters for the on-the-fly interpolation.
191When adding a new input variable, the developer has to add the associated structure in the namelist,
192read this information by mirroring the namelist read in \rou{sbc\_blk\_init} for example,
193and simply call \rou{fld\_read} to obtain the desired input field at the model time-step and grid points.
194
195The only constraints are that the input file is a NetCDF file, the file name follows a nomenclature
196(see \autoref{subsec:SBC_fldread}), the period it cover is one year, month, week or day, and,
197if on-the-fly interpolation is used, a file of weights must be supplied (see \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}).
198
199Note that when an input data is archived on a disc which is accessible directly from the workspace where
200the code is executed, then the user can set the \np{cn_dir}{cn\_dir} to the pathway leading to the data.
201By default, the data are assumed to be in the same directory as the executable, so that cn\_dir='./'.

204\subsection[Input data specification (\textit{fldread.F90})]{Input data specification (\protect\mdl{fldread})}
205\label{subsec:SBC_fldread}
206
207The structure associated with an input variable contains the following information:
208\begin{forlines}
209!  file name  ! frequency (hours) ! variable  ! time interp. !  clim  ! 'yearly'/ ! weights  ! rotation ! land/sea mask !
210!             !  (if <0  months)  !   name    !   (logical)  !  (T/F) ! 'monthly' ! filename ! pairing  ! filename      !

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

231      Naming nomenclature for climatological or interannual input file,
232      as a function of the open/close frequency.
233      The stem name is assumed to be 'fn'.
234      For weekly files, the 'LLL' corresponds to the first three letters of the first day of the week
235      (\ie\ 'sun','sat','fri','thu','wed','tue','mon').
236      The 'YYYY', 'MM' and 'DD' should be replaced by the actual year/month/day,
237      always coded with 4 or 2 digits.
238      Note that (1) in mpp, if the file is split over each subdomain,
239      the suffix '.nc' is replaced by '\_PPPP.nc',
240      where 'PPPP' is the process number coded with 4 digits;
241      (2) when using AGRIF, the prefix '\_N' is added to files, where 'N' is the child grid number.
242    }
243    \label{tab:SBC_fldread}
244  \end{table}
245\item [Record frequency]: the frequency of the records contained in the input file.
246  Its unit is in hours if it is positive (for example 24 for daily forcing) or in months if negative
247  (for example -1 for monthly forcing or -12 for annual forcing).
248  Note that this frequency must REALLY be an integer and not a real.
249  On some computers, setting it to '24.' can be interpreted as 240!
250\item [Variable name]: the name of the variable to be read in the input NetCDF file.
251\item [Time interpolation]: a logical to activate, or not, the time interpolation.
252  If set to 'false', the forcing will have a steplike shape remaining constant during each forcing period.
253  For example, when using a daily forcing without time interpolation, the forcing remaining constant from
254  00h00'00'' to 23h59'59".
255  If set to 'true', the forcing will have a broken line shape.
256  Records are assumed to be dated at the middle of the forcing period.
257  For example, when using a daily forcing with time interpolation,
258  linear interpolation will be performed between mid-day of two consecutive days.
259\item [Climatological forcing]: a logical to specify if a input file contains climatological forcing which can be cycle in time,
260  or an interannual forcing which will requires additional files if
261  the period covered by the simulation exceeds the one of the file.
262  See the above file naming strategy which impacts the expected name of the file to be opened.
263\item [Open/close frequency]: the frequency at which forcing files must be opened/closed.
264  Four cases are coded:
265  'daily', 'weekLLL' (with 'LLL' the first 3 letters of the first day of the week), 'monthly' and 'yearly' which
266  means the forcing files will contain data for one day, one week, one month or one year.
267  Files are assumed to contain data from the beginning of the open/close period.
268  For example, the first record of a yearly file containing daily data is Jan 1st even if
269  the experiment is not starting at the beginning of the year.
270\item [Others]:  'weights filename', 'pairing rotation' and 'land/sea mask' are associated with
271  on-the-fly interpolation which is described in \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}.
272\end{description}
273
274Additional remarks:\\
275(1) The time interpolation is a simple linear interpolation between two consecutive records of the input data.
276The only tricky point is therefore to specify the date at which we need to do the interpolation and
277the date of the records read in the input files.
278Following \citet{leclair.madec_OM09}, the date of a time step is set at the middle of the time step.
279For example, for an experiment starting at 0h00'00" with a one-hour time-step,
280a time interpolation will be performed at the following time: 0h30'00", 1h30'00", 2h30'00", etc.
281However, for forcing data related to the surface module,
282values are not needed at every time-step but at every \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step.
283For example with \np[=3]{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc}, the surface module will be called at time-steps 1, 4, 7, etc.
284The date used for the time interpolation is thus redefined to the middle of \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step period.
285In the previous example, this leads to: 1h30'00", 4h30'00", 7h30'00", etc. \\
286(2) For code readablility and maintenance issues, we don't take into account the NetCDF input file calendar.
287The calendar associated with the forcing field is build according to the information provided by
288user in the record frequency, the open/close frequency and the type of temporal interpolation.
289For example, the first record of a yearly file containing daily data that will be interpolated in time is assumed to
290start Jan 1st at 12h00'00" and end Dec 31st at 12h00'00". \\
291(3) If a time interpolation is requested, the code will pick up the needed data in the previous (next) file when
292interpolating data with the first (last) record of the open/close period.
293For example, if the input file specifications are ''yearly, containing daily data to be interpolated in time'',
294the values given by the code between 00h00'00" and 11h59'59" on Jan 1st will be interpolated values between
295Dec 31st 12h00'00" and Jan 1st 12h00'00".
296If the forcing is climatological, Dec and Jan will be keep-up from the same year.
297However, if the forcing is not climatological, at the end of
298the open/close period, the code will automatically close the current file and open the next one.
299Note that, if the experiment is starting (ending) at the beginning (end) of
300an open/close period, we do accept that the previous (next) file is not existing.
301In this case, the time interpolation will be performed between two identical values.
302For example, when starting an experiment on Jan 1st of year Y with yearly files and daily data to be interpolated,
303we do accept that the file related to year Y-1 is not existing.
304The value of Jan 1st will be used as the missing one for Dec 31st of year Y-1.
305If the file of year Y-1 exists, the code will read its last record.
306Therefore, this file can contain only one record corresponding to Dec 31st,
307a useful feature for user considering that it is too heavy to manipulate the complete file for year Y-1.
308
309%% =================================================================================================
310\subsection{Interpolation on-the-fly}
311\label{subsec:SBC_iof}
312
313Interpolation on the Fly allows the user to supply input files required for the surface forcing on
314grids other than the model grid.
315To do this, he or she must supply, in addition to the source data file(s), a file of weights to be used to
316interpolate from the data grid to the model grid.
317The original development of this code used the SCRIP package
318(freely available \href{http://climate.lanl.gov/Software/SCRIP}{here} under a copyright agreement).
319In principle, any package such as CDO can be used to generate the weights, but the variables in
320the input weights file must have the same names and meanings as assumed by the model.
321Two methods are currently available: bilinear and bicubic interpolations.
322Prior to the interpolation, providing a land/sea mask file, the user can decide to remove land points from
323the input file and substitute the corresponding values with the average of the 8 neighbouring points in
324the native external grid.
325Only "sea points" are considered for the averaging.
326The land/sea mask file must be provided in the structure associated with the input variable.
327The netcdf land/sea mask variable name must be 'LSM' and must have the same horizontal and vertical dimensions as
328the associated variables and should be equal to 1 over land and 0 elsewhere.
329The procedure can be recursively applied by setting nn\_lsm > 1 in namsbc namelist.
330Note that nn\_lsm=0 forces the code to not apply the procedure, even if a land/sea mask file is supplied.
331
332%% =================================================================================================
333\subsubsection{Bilinear interpolation}
334\label{subsec:SBC_iof_bilinear}
335
336The input weights file in this case has two sets of variables:
337src01, src02, src03, src04 and wgt01, wgt02, wgt03, wgt04.
338The "src" variables correspond to the point in the input grid to which the weight "wgt" is applied.
339Each src value is an integer corresponding to the index of a point in the input grid when
340written as a one dimensional array.
341For example, for an input grid of size 5x10, point (3,2) is referenced as point 8, since (2-1)*5+3=8.
342There are four of each variable because bilinear interpolation uses the four points defining
343the grid box containing the point to be interpolated.
344All of these arrays are on the model grid, so that values src01(i,j) and wgt01(i,j) are used to
345generate a value for point (i,j) in the model.
346
347Symbolically, the algorithm used is:
348\[
349  f_{m}(i,j) = f_{m}(i,j) + \sum_{k=1}^{4} {wgt(k)f(idx(src(k)))}
350\]
351where function idx() transforms a one dimensional index src(k) into a two dimensional index,
352and wgt(1) corresponds to variable "wgt01" for example.
353
354%% =================================================================================================
355\subsubsection{Bicubic interpolation}
356\label{subsec:SBC_iof_bicubic}
357
358Again, there are two sets of variables: "src" and "wgt".
359But in this case, there are 16 of each.
360The symbolic algorithm used to calculate values on the model grid is now:
361

374\subsubsection{Implementation}
375\label{subsec:SBC_iof_imp}
376
377To activate this option, a non-empty string should be supplied in
378the weights filename column of the relevant namelist;
379if this is left as an empty string no action is taken.
380In the model, weights files are read in and stored in a structured type (WGT) in the fldread module,
381as and when they are first required.
382This initialisation procedure determines whether the input data grid should be treated as cyclical or not by
383inspecting a global attribute stored in the weights input file.
384This attribute must be called "ew\_wrap" and be of integer type.
385If it is negative, the input non-model grid is assumed to be not cyclic.
386If zero or greater, then the value represents the number of columns that overlap.
387$E.g.$ if the input grid has columns at longitudes 0, 1, 2, .... , 359, then ew\_wrap should be set to 0;
388if longitudes are 0.5, 2.5, .... , 358.5, 360.5, 362.5, ew\_wrap should be 2.
389If the model does not find attribute ew\_wrap, then a value of -999 is assumed.
390In this case, the \rou{fld\_read} routine defaults ew\_wrap to value 0 and
391therefore the grid is assumed to be cyclic with no overlapping columns.
392(In fact, this only matters when bicubic interpolation is required.)
393Note that no testing is done to check the validity in the model,
394since there is no way of knowing the name used for the longitude variable,
395so it is up to the user to make sure his or her data is correctly represented.
396
397Next the routine reads in the weights.
398Bicubic interpolation is assumed if it finds a variable with name "src05", otherwise bilinear interpolation is used.
399The WGT structure includes dynamic arrays both for the storage of the weights (on the model grid),
400and when required, for reading in the variable to be interpolated (on the input data grid).
401The size of the input data array is determined by examining the values in the "src" arrays to
402find the minimum and maximum i and j values required.
403Since bicubic interpolation requires the calculation of gradients at each point on the grid,
404the corresponding arrays are dimensioned with a halo of width one grid point all the way around.
405When the array of points from the data file is adjacent to an edge of the data grid,
406the halo is either a copy of the row/column next to it (non-cyclical case),
407or is a copy of one from the first few columns on the opposite side of the grid (cyclical case).

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

442In some circumstances, it may be useful to avoid calculating the 3D temperature,
443salinity and velocity fields and simply read them in from a previous run or receive them from OASIS.
444For example:
445
446\begin{itemize}
447\item Multiple runs of the model are required in code development to
448  see the effect of different algorithms in the bulk formulae.
449\item The effect of different parameter sets in the ice model is to be examined.
450\item Development of sea-ice algorithms or parameterizations.
451\item Spinup of the iceberg floats
452\item Ocean/sea-ice simulation with both models running in parallel (\np[=.true.]{ln_mixcpl}{ln\_mixcpl})
453\end{itemize}
454
455The Standalone Surface scheme provides this capacity.
456Its options are defined through the \nam{sbc_sas}{sbc\_sas} namelist variables.
457A new copy of the model has to be compiled with a configuration based on ORCA2\_SAS\_LIM.
458However, no namelist parameters need be changed from the settings of the previous run (except perhaps nn\_date0).
459In this configuration, a few routines in the standard model are overriden by new versions.
460Routines replaced are:
461
462\begin{itemize}
463\item \mdl{nemogcm}: This routine initialises the rest of the model and repeatedly calls the stp time stepping routine (\mdl{step}).
464  Since the ocean state is not calculated all associated initialisations have been removed.
465\item \mdl{step}: The main time stepping routine now only needs to call the sbc routine (and a few utility functions).
466\item \mdl{sbcmod}: This has been cut down and now only calculates surface forcing and the ice model required.
467  New surface modules that can function when only the surface level of the ocean state is defined can also be added
468  (\eg\ icebergs).
469\item \mdl{daymod}: No ocean restarts are read or written (though the ice model restarts are retained),
470  so calls to restart functions have been removed.
471  This also means that the calendar cannot be controlled by time in a restart file,
472  so the user must check that nn\_date0 in the model namelist is correct for his or her purposes.
473\item \mdl{stpctl}: Since there is no free surface solver, references to it have been removed from \rou{stp\_ctl} module.
474\item \mdl{diawri}: All 3D data have been removed from the output.
475  The surface temperature, salinity and velocity components (which have been read in) are written along with
476  relevant forcing and ice data.
477\end{itemize}
478
479One new routine has been added:
480
481\begin{itemize}
482\item \mdl{sbcsas}: This module initialises the input files needed for reading temperature, salinity and
483  velocity arrays at the surface.
484  These filenames are supplied in namelist namsbc\_sas.
485  Unfortunately, because of limitations with the \mdl{iom} module,
486  the full 3D fields from the mean files have to be read in and interpolated in time,
487  before using just the top level.
488  Since fldread is used to read in the data, Interpolation on the Fly may be used to change input data resolution.
489\end{itemize}
490
491The 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
492 (\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.

529If the bulk formulation is selected (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}), the air-sea
530fluxes associated with surface boundary conditions are estimated by means of the
531traditional \emph{bulk formulae}. As input, bulk formulae rely on a prescribed
532near-surface atmosphere state (typically extracted from a weather reanalysis)
533and the prognostic sea (-ice) surface state averaged over \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc}
534time-step(s).

565with
566   \[ \theta_z \simeq T_z+\gamma z \]
567   \[  q_s \simeq 0.98\,q_{sat}(T_s,p_a ) \]
568from which, the the non-solar heat flux is \[ Q_{ns} = Q_L + Q_H + Q_{ir} \]
569where $\mathbf{\tau}$ is the wind stress vector, $Q_H$ the sensible heat flux,
570$E$ the evaporation, $Q_L$ the latent heat flux, and $Q_{ir}$ the net longwave
571flux.
572$Q_{sw\downarrow}$ and $Q_{lw\downarrow}$ are the surface downwelling shortwave
573and longwave radiative fluxes, respectively.
574Note: a positive sign for $\mathbf{\tau}$, $Q_H$, $Q_L$, $Q_{sr}$ or $Q_{ir}$
575implies a gain of the relevant quantity for the ocean, while a positive $E$
576implies a freshwater loss for the ocean.
577$\rho$ is the density of air. $C_D$, $C_H$ and $C_E$ are the bulk transfer
578coefficients for momentum, sensible heat, and moisture, respectively.
579$C_P$ is the heat capacity of moist air, and $L_v$ is the latent heat of
580vaporization of water.
581$\theta_z$, $T_z$ and $q_z$ are the potential temperature, absolute temperature,
582and specific humidity of air at height $z$ above the sea surface,
583respectively. $\gamma z$ is a temperature correction term which accounts for the
584adiabatic lapse rate and approximates the potential temperature at height
585$z$ \citep{josey.gulev.ea_OCC13}.
586$\mathbf{U}_z$ is the wind speed vector at height $z$ above the sea surface
587(possibly referenced to the surface current $\mathbf{u_0}$).%,
588%\autoref{s_res1}.\autoref{ss_current}). %% Undefined references
589The bulk scalar wind speed, namely $U_B$, is the scalar wind speed,
590$|\mathbf{U}_z|$, with the potential inclusion of a gustiness contribution.
591$a$ and $\delta$ are the albedo and emissivity of the sea surface, respectively.\\
592%$p_a$ is the mean sea-level pressure (SLP).
593$T_s$ is the sea surface temperature. $q_s$ is the saturation specific humidity
594of air at temperature $T_s$; it includes a 2\% reduction to account for the
595presence of salt in seawater \citep{sverdrup.johnson.ea_bk42,kraus.businger_QJRMS96}.
596Depending on the bulk parametrization used, $T_s$ can either be the temperature
597at the air-sea interface (skin temperature, hereafter SSST) or at typically a
598few tens of centimeters below the surface (bulk sea surface temperature,
599hereafter SST).
600The SSST differs from the SST due to the contributions of two effects of
601opposite sign, the \emph{cool skin} and \emph{warm layer} (hereafter CS and WL,
602respectively, see \autoref{subsec:SBC_skin}).
603Technically, when the ECMWF or COARE* bulk parametrizations are selected
604(\np[=.true.]{ln_ECMWF}{ln\_ECMWF} or \np[=.true.]{ln_COARE*}{ln\_COARE\*}),
605$T_s$ is the SSST, as opposed to the NCAR bulk parametrization
606(\np[=.true.]{ln_NCAR}{ln\_NCAR}) for which $T_s$ is the bulk SST (\ie~temperature
607at first T-point level).

613\label{subsec:SBC_blk_ocean}
614%%%\label{subsec:SBC_param}
615
616Accuracy of the estimate of surface turbulent fluxes by means of bulk formulae
617strongly relies on that of the bulk transfer coefficients: $C_D$, $C_H$ and
618$C_E$. They are estimated with what we refer to as a \emph{bulk
619parametrization} algorithm. When relevant, these algorithms also perform the
620height adjustment of humidity and temperature to the wind reference measurement
621height (from \np{rn_zqt}{rn\_zqt} to \np{rn_zu}{rn\_zu}).
622
623For the open ocean, four bulk parametrization algorithms are available in NEMO:
624
625\begin{itemize}
626\item NCAR, formerly known as CORE, \citep{large.yeager_trpt04,large.yeager_CD09}
627\item COARE 3.0 \citep{fairall.bradley.ea_JC03}
628\item COARE 3.6 \citep{edson.jampana.ea_JPO13}
629\item ECMWF (IFS documentation, cy45)
630\end{itemize}
631
632With respect to version 3, the principal advances in version 3.6 of the COARE
633bulk parametrization are built around improvements in the representation of the
634effects of waves on
635fluxes \citep{edson.jampana.ea_JPO13,brodeau.barnier.ea_JPO16}. This includes
636improved relationships of surface roughness, and whitecap fraction on wave
637parameters. It is therefore recommended to chose version 3.6 over 3.
638

642
643As opposed to the NCAR bulk parametrization, more advanced bulk
644parametrizations such as COARE3.x and ECMWF are meant to be used with the skin
645temperature $T_s$ rather than the bulk SST (which, in NEMO is the temperature at
646the first T-point level, see \autoref{subsec:SBC_blkform}).
647
648As such, the relevant cool-skin and warm-layer parametrization must be
649activated through \np[=T]{ln_skin_cs}{ln\_skin\_cs}
650and \np[=T]{ln_skin_wl}{ln\_skin\_wl} to use COARE3.x or ECMWF in a consistent
651way.

661recent update from \citet{takaya.bidlot.ea_JGR10} (consideration of the
662turbulence input from Langmuir circulation).
663
664Importantly, COARE warm-layer scheme \iffalse \citep{fairall.ea_19?} \fi includes a prognostic
665equation for the thickness of the warm-layer, while it is considered as constant
666in the ECWMF algorithm.
667
668\subsection{Appropriate use of each bulk parametrization}
669
670\subsubsection{NCAR}
671
672NCAR bulk parametrizations (formerly known as CORE) is meant to be used with the
673CORE II atmospheric forcing \citep{large.yeager_CD09}. The expected sea surface
674temperature is the bulk SST. Hence the following namelist parameters must be
675set:
676
677\begin{forlines}
678  ...
679  ln_NCAR    = .true.
680  ...
681  rn_zqt     = 10.     ! Air temperature & humidity reference height (m)
682  rn_zu      = 10.     ! Wind vector reference height (m)
683  ...
684  ln_skin_cs = .false. ! use the cool-skin parameterization
685  ln_skin_wl = .false. ! use the warm-layer parameterization
686  ...
687  ln_humi_sph = .true. ! humidity "sn_humi" is specific humidity  [kg/kg]
688\end{forlines}
689
690\subsubsection{ECMWF}
691
692With an atmospheric forcing based on a reanalysis of the ECMWF, such as the
693Drakkar Forcing Set \citep{brodeau.barnier.ea_OM10}, we strongly recommend to
694use the ECMWF bulk parametrizations with the cool-skin and warm-layer
695parametrizations activated. In ECMWF reanalyzes, since air temperature and
696humidity are provided at the 2\,m height, and given that the humidity is
697distributed as the dew-point temperature, the namelist must be tuned as follows:
698
699\begin{forlines}
700  ...
701  ln_ECMWF   = .true.
702  ...     
703  rn_zqt     =  2.     ! Air temperature & humidity reference height (m)
704  rn_zu      = 10.     ! Wind vector reference height (m)
705  ...
706  ln_skin_cs = .true. ! use the cool-skin parameterization
707  ln_skin_wl = .true. ! use the warm-layer parameterization
708  ...
709  ln_humi_dpt = .true. !  humidity "sn_humi" is dew-point temperature [K]
710  ...
711\end{forlines}
712
713Note: when \np{ln_ECMWF}{ln\_ECMWF} is selected, the selection
714of \np{ln_skin_cs}{ln\_skin\_cs} and \np{ln_skin_wl}{ln\_skin\_wl} implicitly
715triggers the use of the ECMWF cool-skin and warm-layer parametrizations,
716respectively (found in \textit{sbcblk\_skin\_ecmwf.F90}).
717
718
719
720\subsubsection{COARE 3.x}
721
722Since the ECMWF parametrization is largely based on the COARE* parametrization,
723the two algorithms are very similar in terms of structure and closure
724approach. As such, the namelist tuning for COARE 3.x is identical to that of
725ECMWF:
726
727\begin{forlines}
728  ...
729  ln_COARE3p6 = .true.
730  ...     
731  ln_skin_cs = .true. ! use the cool-skin parameterization
732  ln_skin_wl = .true. ! use the warm-layer parameterization
733  ...
734\end{forlines}
735
736Note: when \np[=T]{ln_COARE3p0}{ln\_COARE3p0} is selected, the selection
737of \np{ln_skin_cs}{ln\_skin\_cs} and \np{ln_skin_wl}{ln\_skin\_wl} implicitly
738triggers the use of the COARE cool-skin and warm-layer parametrizations,
739respectively (found in \textit{sbcblk\_skin\_coare.F90}).

742
743% In a typical bulk algorithm, the BTCs under neutral stability conditions are
744% defined using \emph{in-situ} flux measurements while their dependence on the
745% stability is accounted through the \emph{Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory} and
746% the \emph{flux-profile} relationships \citep[\eg{}][]{Paulson_1970}. BTCs are
747% functions of the wind speed and the near-surface stability of the atmospheric
748% surface layer (hereafter ASL), and hence, depend on $U_B$, $T_s$, $T_z$, $q_s$
749% and $q_z$.
750
751\subsection{Prescribed near-surface atmospheric state}
752
753The atmospheric fields used depend on the bulk formulae used.  In forced mode,
754when a sea-ice model is used, a specific bulk formulation is used.  Therefore,
755different bulk formulae are used for the turbulent fluxes computation over the
756ocean and over sea-ice surface.
757
758%The choice is made by setting to true one of the following namelist
759%variable: \np{ln_NCAR}{ln\_NCAR}, \np{ln_COARE_3p0}{ln\_COARE\_3p0}, \np{ln_COARE_3p6}{ln\_COARE\_3p6}
760%and \np{ln_ECMWF}{ln\_ECMWF}.

852 For sea-ice, three possibilities can be selected:
853a constant transfer coefficient (1.4e-3; default
854value), \citet{lupkes.gryanik.ea_JGRA12} (\np{ln_Cd_L12}{ln\_Cd\_L12}),

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

890In the coupled formulation of the surface boundary condition,
891the fluxes are provided by the OASIS coupler at a frequency which is defined in the OASIS coupler namelist,
892while sea and ice surface temperature, ocean and ice albedo, and ocean currents are sent to
893the atmospheric component.
894
895A generalised coupled interface has been developed.
896It is currently interfaced with OASIS-3-MCT versions 1 to 4 (\key{oasis3}).
897An additional specific CPP key (\key{oa3mct\_v1v2}) is needed for OASIS-3-MCT versions 1 and 2.
898It has been successfully used to interface \NEMO\ to most of the European atmospheric GCM
899(ARPEGE, ECHAM, ECMWF, HadAM, HadGAM, LMDz), as well as to \href{http://wrf-model.org/}{WRF}
900(Weather Research and Forecasting Model).
901
902When PISCES biogeochemical model (\key{top}) is also used in the coupled system,
903the whole carbon cycle is computed.
904In this case, CO$_2$ fluxes will be exchanged between the atmosphere and the ice-ocean system
905(and need to be activated in \nam{sbc_cpl}{sbc\_cpl} ).
906
907
908When 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} ).
909
910
911The namelist above allows control of various aspects of the coupling fields (particularly for vectors) and
912now allows for any coupling fields to have multiple sea ice categories (as required by LIM3 and CICE).
913When indicating a multi-category coupling field in \nam{sbc_cpl}{sbc\_cpl}, the number of categories will be determined by
914the number used in the sea ice model.
915In some limited cases, it may be possible to specify single category coupling fields even when
916the sea ice model is running with multiple categories -
917in this case, the user should examine the code to be sure the assumptions made are satisfactory.
918In cases where this is definitely not possible, the model should abort with an error message.

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

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

980  set to \forcode{0}, in which case the 19 tidal constituents (M2, N2, 2N2, S2,
981  K2, K1, O1, Q1, P1, M4, Mf, Mm, Msqm, Mtm, S1, MU2, NU2, L2, and T2; see file
982  \textit{tide.h90}) and associated parameters that have been available in NEMO version
983  4.0 and earlier are available}. Constituents to be included in the tidal forcing
984(surface and lateral boundaries) are selected by enumerating their respective
985names in namelist array \np{sn_tide_cnames}{sn\_tide\_cnames}.\par
986
987\subsection{Surface tidal forcing}
988Surface tidal forcing can be represented in the model through an additional
989barotropic force in the momentum equation (\autoref{eq:MB_PE_dyn}) such that:
990\[
991  \frac{\partial {\mathrm {\mathbf U}}_h }{\partial t} = \ldots +g\nabla (\gamma
992  \Pi_{eq} + \Pi_{sal})
993\]
994where $\gamma \Pi_{eq}$ stands for the equilibrium tidal forcing scaled by a spatially
995uniform tilt factor $\gamma$, and $\Pi_{sal}$ is an optional
996self-attraction and loading term (SAL). These additional terms are enabled when,
997in addition to \np[=.true.]{ln_tide}{ln\_tide}),
998\np[=.true.]{ln_tide_pot}{ln\_tide\_pot}.\par
999
1000The equilibrium tidal forcing is expressed as a sum over the subset of
1001constituents listed in \np{sn_tide_cnames}{sn\_tide\_cnames} of
1002\nam{_tide} (e.g.,
1003\begin{forlines}
1004      sn_tide_cnames(1) = 'M2'
1005      sn_tide_cnames(2) = 'K1'
1006      sn_tide_cnames(3) = 'S2'
1007      sn_tide_cnames(4) = 'O1'
1008\end{forlines}
1009to select the four tidal constituents of strongest equilibrium tidal
1010potential). The tidal tilt factor $\gamma = 1 + k - h$ includes the
1011Love numbers $k$ and $h$ \citep{love_PRSL09}; this factor is
1012configurable using \np{rn_tide_gamma}{rn\_tide\_gamma} (default value 0.7). Optionally,
1013when \np[=.true.]{ln_tide_ramp}{ln\_tide\_ramp}, the equilibrium tidal
1014forcing can be ramped up linearly from zero during the initial
1015\np{rn_tide_ramp_dt}{rn\_tide\_ramp\_dt} days of the model run.\par
1016
1017The SAL term should in principle be computed online as it depends on
1018the model tidal prediction itself (see \citet{arbic.garner.ea_DSR04} for a
1019discussion about the practical implementation of this term). The complex
1020calculations involved in such computations, however, are computationally very
1021expensive. Here, two mutually exclusive simpler variants are available:
1022amplitudes generated by an external model for oscillatory $\Pi_{sal}$
1023contributions from each of the selected tidal constituents can be read in
1024(\np[=.true.]{ln_read_load}{ln\_read\_load}) from the file specified in
1025\np{cn_tide_load}{cn\_tide\_load} (the variable names are comprised of the
1026tidal-constituent name and suffixes \forcode{_z1} and \forcode{_z2} for the two
1027orthogonal components, respectively); alternatively, a ``scalar approximation''
1028can be used (\np[=.true.]{ln_scal_load}{ln\_scal\_load}), where
1029\[
1030  \Pi_{sal} = \beta \eta,
1031\]
1032with a spatially uniform coefficient $\beta$, which can be configured
1033via \np{rn_scal_load}{rn\_scal\_load} (default value 0.094) and is
1034often tuned to minimize tidal prediction errors.\par
1035
1036For diagnostic purposes, the forcing potential of the individual tidal
1037constituents (incl. load ptential, if activated) and the total forcing
1038potential (incl. load potential, if activated) can be made available
1039as diagnostic output by setting
1040\np[=.true.]{ln_tide_dia}{ln\_tide\_dia} (fields
1041\forcode{tide_pot_<constituent>} and \forcode{tide_pot}).\par

1053%River runoff generally enters the ocean at a nonzero depth rather than through the surface.
1054%Many models, however, have traditionally inserted river runoff to the top model cell.
1055%This was the case in \NEMO\ prior to the version 3.3. The switch toward a input of runoff
1056%throughout a nonzero depth has been motivated by the numerical and physical problems
1057%that arise when the top grid cells are of the order of one meter. This situation is common in
1058%coastal modelling and becomes more and more often open ocean and climate modelling
1059%\footnote{At least a top cells thickness of 1~meter and a 3 hours forcing frequency are
1060%required to properly represent the diurnal cycle \citep{bernie.woolnough.ea_JC05}. see also \autoref{fig:SBC_dcy}.}.
1061
1062%To do this we need to treat evaporation/precipitation fluxes and river runoff differently in the
1063%\mdl{tra\_sbc} module.  We decided to separate them throughout the code, so that the variable
1064%\textit{emp} represented solely evaporation minus precipitation fluxes, and a new 2d variable
1065%rnf was added which represents the volume flux of river runoff (in kg/m2s to remain consistent with
1066%emp).  This meant many uses of emp and emps needed to be changed, a list of all modules which use
1067%emp or emps and the changes made are below:
1068
1069%Rachel:
1070River runoff generally enters the ocean at a nonzero depth rather than through the surface.
1071Many models, however, have traditionally inserted river runoff to the top model cell.
1072This was the case in \NEMO\ prior to the version 3.3,
1073and was combined with an option to increase vertical mixing near the river mouth.
1074
1075However, with this method numerical and physical problems arise when the top grid cells are of the order of one meter.
1076This situation is common in coastal modelling and is becoming more common in open ocean and climate modelling
1077\footnote{
1078  At least a top cells thickness of 1~meter and a 3 hours forcing frequency are required to
1079  properly represent the diurnal cycle \citep{bernie.woolnough.ea_JC05}.
1080  see also \autoref{fig:SBC_dcy}.}.
1081
1082As such from V~3.3 onwards it is possible to add river runoff through a non-zero depth,
1083and for the temperature and salinity of the river to effect the surrounding ocean.
1084The user is able to specify, in a NetCDF input file, the temperature and salinity of the river,
1085along with the depth (in metres) which the river should be added to.
1086
1087Namelist variables in \nam{sbc_rnf}{sbc\_rnf}, \np{ln_rnf_depth}{ln\_rnf\_depth}, \np{ln_rnf_sal}{ln\_rnf\_sal} and
1088\np{ln_rnf_temp}{ln\_rnf\_temp} control whether the river attributes (depth, salinity and temperature) are read in and used.
1089If these are set as false the river is added to the surface box only, assumed to be fresh (0~psu),
1090and/or taken as surface temperature respectively.
1091
1092The runoff value and attributes are read in in sbcrnf.
1093For temperature -999 is taken as missing data and the river temperature is taken to
1094be the surface temperatue at the river point.
1095For the depth parameter a value of -1 means the river is added to the surface box only,
1096and a value of -999 means the river is added through the entire water column.
1097After being read in the temperature and salinity variables are multiplied by the amount of runoff
1098(converted into m/s) to give the heat and salt content of the river runoff.
1099After the user specified depth is read ini,
1100the number of grid boxes this corresponds to is calculated and stored in the variable \np{nz_rnf}{nz\_rnf}.
1101The variable \textit{h\_dep} is then calculated to be the depth (in metres) of
1102the bottom of the lowest box the river water is being added to
1103(\ie\ the total depth that river water is being added to in the model).
1104
1105The mass/volume addition due to the river runoff is, at each relevant depth level, added to
1106the horizontal divergence (\textit{hdivn}) in the subroutine \rou{sbc\_rnf\_div} (called from \mdl{divhor}).
1107This increases the diffusion term in the vicinity of the river, thereby simulating a momentum flux.
1108The sea surface height is calculated using the sum of the horizontal divergence terms,
1109and so the river runoff indirectly forces an increase in sea surface height.
1110
1111The \textit{hdivn} terms are used in the tracer advection modules to force vertical velocities.
1112This causes a mass of water, equal to the amount of runoff, to be moved into the box above.
1113The heat and salt content of the river runoff is not included in this step,
1114and so the tracer concentrations are diluted as water of ocean temperature and salinity is moved upward out of
1115the box and replaced by the same volume of river water with no corresponding heat and salt addition.
1116
1117For the linear free surface case, at the surface box the tracer advection causes a flux of water
1118(of equal volume to the runoff) through the sea surface out of the domain,
1119which causes a salt and heat flux out of the model.
1120As such the volume of water does not change, but the water is diluted.
1121
1122For the non-linear free surface case, no flux is allowed through the surface.
1123Instead in the surface box (as well as water moving up from the boxes below) a volume of runoff water is added with
1124no corresponding heat and salt addition and so as happens in the lower boxes there is a dilution effect.
1125(The runoff addition to the top box along with the water being moved up through
1126boxes below means the surface box has a large increase in volume, whilst all other boxes remain the same size)
1127
1128In trasbc the addition of heat and salt due to the river runoff is added.
1129This is done in the same way for both vvl and non-vvl.
1130The temperature and salinity are increased through the specified depth according to
1131the heat and salt content of the river.
1132
1133In the non-linear free surface case (vvl),
1134near the end of the time step the change in sea surface height is redistrubuted through the grid boxes,
1135so that the original ratios of grid box heights are restored.
1136In doing this water is moved into boxes below, throughout the water column,
1137so the large volume addition to the surface box is spread between all the grid boxes.
1138
1139It is also possible for runnoff to be specified as a negative value for modelling flow through straits,
1140\ie\ modelling the Baltic flow in and out of the North Sea.
1141When the flow is out of the domain there is no change in temperature and salinity,
1142regardless of the namelist options used,
1143as the ocean water leaving the domain removes heat and salt (at the same concentration) with it.

1155\cmtgm{  word doc of runoffs:
1156In the current \NEMO\ setup river runoff is added to emp fluxes,
1157these are then applied at just the sea surface as a volume change (in the variable volume case
1158this is a literal volume change, and in the linear free surface case the free surface is moved)
1159and a salt flux due to the concentration/dilution effect.
1160There is also an option to increase vertical mixing near river mouths;
1161this gives the effect of having a 3d river.
1162All river runoff and emp fluxes are assumed to be fresh water (zero salinity) and
1163at the same temperature as the sea surface.
1164Our aim was to code the option to specify the temperature and salinity of river runoff,
1165(as well as the amount), along with the depth that the river water will affect.
1166This would make it possible to model low salinity outflow, such as the Baltic,
1167and would allow the ocean temperature to be affected by river runoff.
1168
1169The depth option makes it possible to have the river water affecting just the surface layer,
1170throughout depth, or some specified point in between.
1171
1172To do this we need to treat evaporation/precipitation fluxes and river runoff differently in
1173the \mdl{tra_sbc} module.
1174We decided to separate them throughout the code,
1175so that the variable emp represented solely evaporation minus precipitation fluxes,
1176and a new 2d variable rnf was added which represents the volume flux of river runoff
1177(in $kg/m^2s$ to remain consistent with $emp$).
1178This meant many uses of emp and emps needed to be changed,
1179a list of all modules which use $emp$ or $emps$ and the changes made are below:}

1201     If \np{ln_isfcav_mlt}{ln\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = .false.}, thermodynamics interactions are desctivated but the ocean dynamics inside the cavity is still active.
1202     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.\\
1203
1204     3 options are available to represent to ice-shelf/ocean fluxes at the interface:
1205     \begin{description}
1206        \item[\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'spe'}]:
1207        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).
1208        The latent heat fluxes is derived from the fresh water flux.
1209        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})
1210
1211        \item[\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'oasis'}]:
1212        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.
1213        It has not been tested and therefore the model will stop if you try to use it.
1214        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.
1215
1216        \item[\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = '2eq'}]:
1217        The heat flux and the fresh water flux (negative for melting) resulting from ice shelf melting/freezing are parameterized following \citet{Grosfeld1997}.
1218        This formulation is based on a balance between the vertical diffusive heat flux across the ocean top boundary layer (\autoref{eq:ISOMIP1})
1219        and the latent heat due to melting/freezing (\autoref{eq:ISOMIP2}):
1220
1221        \begin{equation}
1222        \label{eq:ISOMIP1}
1223        \mathcal{Q}_h = \rho c_p \gamma (T_w - T_f)
1224        \end{equation}
1225        \begin{equation}
1226        \label{eq:ISOMIP2}
1227        q = \frac{-\mathcal{Q}_h}{L_f}
1228        \end{equation}
1229       
1230        where $\mathcal{Q}_h$($W.m^{-2}$) is the heat flux,q($kg.s^{-1}m^{-2}$) the fresh-water flux,
1231        $L_f$ the specific latent heat, $T_w$ the temperature averaged over a boundary layer below the ice shelf (explained below),
1232        $T_f$ the freezing point using  the  pressure  at  the  ice  shelf  base  and  the  salinity  of the water in the boundary layer,
1233        and $\gamma$ the thermal exchange coefficient.
1234
1235        \item[\np{cn_isfcav_mlt}{cn\_isfcav\_mlt}\forcode{ = '3eq'}]:
1236        For realistic studies, the heat and freshwater fluxes are parameterized following \citep{Jenkins2001}. This formulation is based on three equations:
1237        a balance between the vertical diffusive heat flux across the boundary layer
1238        , the latent heat due to melting/freezing of ice and the vertical diffusive heat flux into the ice shelf (\autoref{eq:3eq1});
1239        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});
1240        and a linear equation for the freezing temperature of sea water (\autoref{eq:3eq3}, detailed of the linearisation coefficient in \citet{AsayDavis2016}):
1241
1242        \begin{equation}
1243        \label{eq:3eq1}
1244        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}}
1245        \end{equation}
1246        \begin{equation}
1247        \label{eq:3eq2}
1248        \rho \gamma_S (S_w - S_b) = (S_i - S_b)q
1249        \end{equation}
1250        \begin{equation}
1251        \label{eq:3eq3}
1252        T_b = \lambda_1 S_b + \lambda_2 +\lambda_3 z_{isf}
1253        \end{equation}
1254
1255        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,
1256        $S_i$ 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,
1257        $c_{p,i}$ the specific heat capacity of the ice, $\kappa$ the thermal diffusivity of the ice
1258        and $T_s$ the atmospheric surface temperature (at the ice/air interface, assumed to be -20C).
1259        The Liquidus slope ($\lambda_1$), the liquidus intercept ($\lambda_2$) and the Liquidus pressure coefficient ($\lambda_3$)
1260        for TEOS80 and TEOS10 are described in \citep{AsayDavis2016} and in \citep{Jourdain2017}.
1261        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 $T_b$.
1262        Afterward, the freshwater flux ($q$) and the heat flux ($\mathcal{Q}_h$) can be computed.

1283     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}.
1284     Its thickness is defined by \np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl}.
1285     The fluxes and friction velocity are computed using the mean temperature, salinity and velocity in the first \np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl} m.
1286     Then, the fluxes are spread over the same thickness (ie over one or several cells).
1287     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.
1288     This can lead to super-cool temperature in the top cell under melting condition.
1289     If \np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl} smaller than top $e_{3}t$, the top boundary layer thickness is set to the top cell thickness.\\
1290
1291     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.
1292     Below, the exchange coeficient $\Gamma^{T}$ and $\Gamma^{S}$ are respectively defined by \np{rn_gammat0}{rn\_gammat0} and \np{rn_gammas0}{rn\_gammas0}.
1293     There are 3 different ways to compute the exchange velocity:
1294
1295     \begin{description}
1296        \item[\np{cn_gammablk}{cn\_gammablk}\forcode{='spe'}]:
1297        The salt and heat exchange coefficients are constant and defined by:
1298\[
1299\gamma^{T} = \Gamma^{T}
1300\]
1301\[
1302\gamma^{S} = \Gamma^{S}
1303\] 
1304        This is the recommended formulation for ISOMIP.
1305
1306   \item[\np{cn_gammablk}{cn\_gammablk}\forcode{='vel'}]:
1307        The salt and heat exchange coefficients are velocity dependent and defined as
1308\[
1309\gamma^{T} = \Gamma^{T} \times u_{*}
1310\]
1311\[
1312\gamma^{S} = \Gamma^{S} \times u_{*}
1313\]
1314        where $u_{*}$ is the friction velocity in the top boundary layer (ie first \np{rn_htbl}{rn\_htbl} meters).
1315        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.
1316
1317   \item[\np{cn_gammablk}{cn\_gammablk}\forcode{'vel\_stab'}]:
1318        The salt and heat exchange coefficients are velocity and stability dependent and defined as:
1319\[
1320\gamma^{T,S} = \frac{u_{*}}{\Gamma_{Turb} + \Gamma^{T,S}_{Mole}}
1321\]
1322        where $u_{*}$ is the friction velocity in the top boundary layer (ie first \np{rn_tbl}{rn\_htbl} meters),
1323        $\Gamma_{Turb}$ the contribution of the ocean stability and
1324        $\Gamma^{T,S}_{Mole}$ the contribution of the molecular diffusion.
1325        See \citet{holland.jenkins_JPO99} for all the details on this formulation.
1326        This formulation has not been extensively tested in NEMO (not recommended).

1329\subsection{Ocean/Ice shelf fluxes in parametrised cavities}
1330
1331  \begin{description}
1332
1333     \item[\np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'bg03'}]:
1334     The ice shelf cavities are not represented.
1335     The fwf and heat flux are computed using the \citet{beckmann.goosse_OM03} parameterisation of isf melting.
1336     The fluxes are distributed along the ice shelf edge between the depth of the average grounding line (GL)
1337     (\np{sn_isfpar_zmax}{sn\_isfpar\_zmax}) and the base of the ice shelf along the calving front
1338     (\np{sn_isfpar_zmin}{sn\_isfpar\_zmin}) as in (\np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'spe'}).
1339     The effective melting length (\np{sn_isfpar_Leff}{sn\_isfpar\_Leff}) is read from a file.
1340     This parametrisation has not been tested since a while and based on \citet{Favier2019},
1341     this parametrisation should probably not be used.
1342
1343     \item[\np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'spe'}]:
1344     The ice shelf cavity is not represented.
1345     The fwf (\np{sn_isfpar_fwf}{sn\_isfpar\_fwf}) is prescribed and distributed along the ice shelf edge between
1346     the depth of the average grounding line (GL) (\np{sn_isfpar_zmax}{sn\_isfpar\_zmax}) and
1347     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).
1348     The heat flux ($Q_h$) is computed as $Q_h = fwf \times L_f$.
1349
1350     \item[\np{cn_isfpar_mlt}{cn\_isfpar\_mlt}\forcode{ = 'oasis'}]:
1351     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.
1352     It has not been tested and therefore the model will stop if you try to use it.

1356
1357\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
1358the water mass properties, ocean velocities and depth.
1359The resulting fluxes are thus highly dependent of the model resolution (horizontal and vertical) and
1360realism of the water masses onto the shelf.\\
1361
1362\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.
1363You have total control of the fwf forcing.
1364This can be useful if the water masses on the shelf are not realistic or
1365the resolution (horizontal/vertical) are too coarse to have realistic melting or
1366for studies where you need to control your heat and fw input.
1367However, if your forcing is not consistent with the dynamics below you can reach unrealistic low water temperature.\\
1368
1369The ice shelf fwf is implemented as a volume flux as for the runoff.
1370The fwf addition due to the ice shelf melting is, at each relevant depth level, added to
1371the horizontal divergence (\textit{hdivn}) in the subroutine \rou{isf\_hdiv}, called from \mdl{divhor}.
1372See the runoff section \autoref{sec:SBC_rnf} for all the details about the divergence correction.\\

1427\subsection{Ice sheet coupling}
1428\label{subsec:ISF_iscpl}
1429
1430Ice sheet/ocean coupling is done through file exchange at the restart step.
1431At each restart step, the procedure is this one:
1432
1433\begin{description}
1434\item[Step 1]: the ice sheet model send a new bathymetry and ice shelf draft netcdf file.
1435\item[Step 2]: a new domcfg.nc file is built using the DOMAINcfg tools.
1436\item[Step 3]: NEMO run for a specific period and output the average melt rate over the period.
1437\item[Step 4]: the ice sheet model run using the melt rate outputed in step 3.
1438\item[Step 5]: go back to 1.
1439\end{description}
1440
1441If \np{ln_iscpl}{ln\_iscpl}\forcode{ = .true.}, the isf draft is assume to be different at each restart step with
1442potentially some new wet/dry cells due to the ice sheet dynamics/thermodynamics.
1443The wetting and drying scheme, applied on the restart, is very simple. The 6 different possible cases for the tracer and ssh are:
1444
1445\begin{description}
1446   \item[Thin a cell]:
1447   T/S/ssh are unchanged.
1448
1449   \item[Enlarge  a cell]:
1450   See case "Thin a cell down"
1451
1452   \item[Dry a cell]:
1453   Mask, T/S, U/V and ssh are set to 0.
1454
1455   \item[Wet a cell]:
1456   Mask is set to 1, T/S is extrapolated from neighbours, $ssh_n = ssh_b$.
1457   If no neighbours, T/S is extrapolated from old top cell value.
1458   If no neighbours along i,j and k (both previous tests failed), T/S/ssh and mask are set to 0.
1459
1460   \item[Dry a column]:
1461   mask, T/S and ssh are set to 0.
1462
1463   \item[Wet a column]:
1464   set mask to 1, T/S/ssh are extrapolated from neighbours.
1465   If no neighbour, T/S/ssh and mask set to 0.
1466\end{description}
1467
1468The method described above will strongly affect the barotropic transport under an ice shelf when the geometry change.
1469In order to keep the model stable, an adjustment of the dynamics at the initialisation after the coupling step is needed.
1470The idea behind this is to keep $\pd[\eta]{t}$ as it should be without change in geometry at the initialisation.
1471This will prevent any strong velocity due to large pressure gradient.
1472To do so, we correct the horizontal divergence before $\pd[\eta]{t}$ is computed in the first time step.\\
1473
1474Furthermore, as the before and now fields are not compatible (modification of the geometry),
1475the restart time step is prescribed to be an euler time step instead of a leap frog and $fields_b = fields_n$.\\
1476
1477The horizontal extrapolation to fill new cell with realistic value is called \np{nn_drown}{nn\_drown} times.
1478It means that if the grounding line retreat by more than \np{nn_drown}{nn\_drown} cells between 2 coupling steps,
1479the code will be unable to fill all the new wet cells properly and the model is likely to blow up at the initialisation.
1480The default number is set up for the MISOMIP idealised experiments.
1481This coupling procedure is able to take into account grounding line and calving front migration.
1482However, it is a non-conservative proccess.
1483This could lead to a trend in heat/salt content and volume.\\
1484
1485In order to remove the trend and keep the conservation level as close to 0 as possible,
1486a simple conservation scheme is available with \np{ln_isfcpl_cons}{ln\_isfcpl\_cons}\forcode{ = .true.}.
1487The heat/salt/vol. gain/loss are diagnosed, as well as the location.
1488A correction increment is computed and applied each time step during the model run.
1489The 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  \nlst{namberg}
1497  \caption{\forcode{&namberg}}
1498  \label{lst:namberg}
1499\end{listing}
1500
1501Icebergs are modelled as lagrangian particles in \NEMO\ \citep{marsh.ivchenko.ea_GMD15}.
1502Their physical behaviour is controlled by equations as described in \citet{martin.adcroft_OM10} ).
1503(Note that the authors kindly provided a copy of their code to act as a basis for implementation in \NEMO).
1504Icebergs are initially spawned into one of ten classes which have specific mass and thickness as
1505described in the \nam{berg}{berg} namelist: \np{rn_initial_mass}{rn\_initial\_mass} and \np{rn_initial_thickness}{rn\_initial\_thickness}.
1506Each class has an associated scaling (\np{rn_mass_scaling}{rn\_mass\_scaling}),
1507which is an integer representing how many icebergs of this class are being described as one lagrangian point
1508(this reduces the numerical problem of tracking every single iceberg).
1509They are enabled by setting \np[=.true.]{ln_icebergs}{ln\_icebergs}.
1510
1511Two initialisation schemes are possible.
1512\begin{description}
1513\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
1514  (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
1515  which an iceberg is generated at the beginning of the run.
1516  (Note that this happens each time the timestep equals \np{nn_nit000}{nn\_nit000}.)
1517  \np{nn_test_icebergs}{nn\_test\_icebergs} is defined by four numbers in \np{nn_test_box}{nn\_test\_box} representing the corners of
1518  the geographical box: lonmin,lonmax,latmin,latmax
1519\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.
1520  This should be a file with a field on the configuration grid (typically ORCA)
1521  representing ice accumulation rate at each model point.
1522  These should be ocean points adjacent to land where icebergs are known to calve.
1523  Most points in this input grid are going to have value zero.
1524  When the model runs, ice is accumulated at each grid point which has a non-zero source term.
1525  At each time step, a test is performed to see if there is enough ice mass to
1526  calve an iceberg of each class in order (1 to 10).
1527  Note that this is the initial mass multiplied by the number each particle represents (\ie\ the scaling).
1528  If there is enough ice, a new iceberg is spawned and the total available ice reduced accordingly.
1529\end{description}
1530
1531Icebergs are influenced by wind, waves and currents, bottom melt and erosion.
1532The latter act to disintegrate the iceberg.
1533This is either all melted freshwater,
1534or (if \np{rn_bits_erosion_fraction}{rn\_bits\_erosion\_fraction}~$>$~0) into melt and additionally small ice bits
1535which are assumed to propagate with their larger parent and thus delay fluxing into the ocean.
1536Melt water (and other variables on the configuration grid) are written into the main \NEMO\ model output files.
1537
1538By 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.
1539\citet{Merino_OM2016} developed an option to use vertical profiles of ocean currents and temperature instead (\np{ln_M2016}{ln\_M2016}).
1540Full details on the sensitivity to this parameter in done in \citet{Merino_OM2016}.
1541If \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).
1542This 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
1543or to build a variable \forcode{maxclass} to prevent NEMO filling the icebergs classes too thick for the local bathymetry.
1544
1545Extensive diagnostics can be produced.
1546Separate output files are maintained for human-readable iceberg information.
1547A separate file is produced for each processor (independent of \np{ln_ctl}{ln\_ctl}).
1548The amount of information is controlled by two integer parameters:
1549\begin{description}
1550\item [{\np{nn_verbose_level}{nn\_verbose\_level}}] takes a value between one and four and
1551  represents an increasing number of points in the code at which variables are written,
1552  and an increasing level of obscurity.
1553\item [{\np{nn_verbose_write}{nn\_verbose\_write}}] is the number of timesteps between writes
1554\end{description}
1555
1556Iceberg trajectories can also be written out and this is enabled by setting \np{nn_sample_rate}{nn\_sample\_rate}~$>$~0.
1557A non-zero value represents how many timesteps between writes of information into the output file.
1558These output files are in NETCDF format.
1559When \key{mpp\_mpi} is defined, each output file contains only those icebergs in the corresponding processor.
1560Trajectory points are written out in the order of their parent iceberg in the model's "linked list" of icebergs.
1561So care is needed to recreate data for individual icebergs,
1562since its trajectory data may be spread across multiple files.

1574Ocean waves represent the interface between the ocean and the atmosphere, so \NEMO\ is extended to incorporate
1575physical processes related to ocean surface waves, namely the surface stress modified by growth and
1576dissipation 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).\\
1577
1578Physical processes related to ocean surface waves can be accounted by setting the logical variable

1580different processes should be activated as explained in the following sections.\\

1582Wave fields can be provided either in forced or coupled mode:
1583\begin{description}
1584\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
1585wave stress going into the ocean can be read from external files. Wave fields should be defined through the \nam{sbc_wave}{sbc\_wave} namelist
1586for external data names, locations, frequency, interpolation and all the miscellanous options allowed by
1587Input 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.

1616\label{subsec:SBC_wave_sdw}
1617
1618The Stokes drift is a wave driven mechanism of mass and momentum transport \citep{stokes_ibk09}.
1619It is defined as the difference between the average velocity of a fluid parcel (Lagrangian velocity)
1620and the current measured at a fixed point (Eulerian velocity).
1621As waves travel, the water particles that make up the waves travel in orbital motions but
1622without a closed path. Their movement is enhanced at the top of the orbit and slowed slightly
1623at the bottom, so the result is a net forward motion of water particles, referred to as the Stokes drift.
1624An accurate evaluation of the Stokes drift and the inclusion of related processes may lead to improved
1625representation of surface physics in ocean general circulation models. %GS: reference needed
1626The Stokes drift velocity $\mathbf{U}_{st}$ in deep water can be computed from the wave spectrum and may be written as:
1627
1628\[
1629  % \label{eq:SBC_wave_sdw}
1630  \mathbf{U}_{st} = \frac{16{\pi^3}} {g}
1631  \int_0^\infty \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} (cos{\theta},sin{\theta}) {f^3}
1632  \mathrm{S}(f,\theta) \mathrm{e}^{2kz}\,\mathrm{d}\theta {d}f
1633\]
1634
1635where: ${\theta}$ is the wave direction, $f$ is the wave intrinsic frequency,
1636$\mathrm{S}($f$,\theta)$ is the 2D frequency-direction spectrum,
1637$k$ is the mean wavenumber defined as:
1638$k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$ (being $\lambda$ the wavelength). \\
1639
1640In order to evaluate the Stokes drift in a realistic ocean wave field, the wave spectral shape is required
1641and its computation quickly becomes expensive as the 2D spectrum must be integrated for each vertical level.
1642To simplify, it is customary to use approximations to the full Stokes profile.
1643Two possible parameterizations for the calculation for the approximate Stokes drift velocity profile
1644are 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.

1679  k_p = \frac{|\mathbf{U}_{\left.st\right|_{z=0}}|}{2 |T_{st}| } (1-2 \beta /3) 
1680\]
1681
1682$|T_{st}|$ is estimated from integral wave parameters (Hs and Tm) in forced mode and is provided directly from an external wave model in coupled mode.
1683
1684\end{description}
1685
1686The Stokes drift enters the wave-averaged momentum equation, as well as the tracer advection equations
1687and 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}
1688
1689The tracer advection equation is also modified in order for Eulerian ocean models to properly account
1690for unresolved wave effect. The divergence of the wave tracer flux equals the mean tracer advection
1691that is induced by the three-dimensional Stokes velocity.
1692The advective equation for a tracer $c$ combining the effects of the mean current and sea surface waves
1693can be formulated as follows:

1740\subsection[Wave modified stress (\forcode{ln_tauoc} \& \forcode{ln_taw})]{Wave modified stress (\protect\np{ln_tauoc}{ln\_tauoc} \& \np{ln_taw}{ln\_taw})}
1741\label{subsec:SBC_wave_taw}
1742
1743The surface stress felt by the ocean is the atmospheric stress minus the net stress going
1744into the waves \citep{janssen.breivik.ea_trpt13}. Therefore, when waves are growing, momentum and energy is spent and is not
1745available for forcing the mean circulation, while in the opposite case of a decaying sea
1746state, more momentum is available for forcing the ocean.
1747Only when the sea state is in equilibrium, the ocean is forced by the atmospheric stress,
1748but in practice, an equilibrium sea state is a fairly rare event.
1749So the atmospheric stress felt by the ocean circulation $\tau_{oc,a}$ can be expressed as:
1750
1751\[
1752  % \label{eq:SBC_wave_tauoc}
1753  \tau_{oc,a} = \tau_a - \tau_w
1754\]
1755
1756where $\tau_a$ is the atmospheric surface stress; $\tau_w$ is the atmospheric stress going into the waves defined as:
1757
1758\[
1759  % \label{eq:SBC_wave_tauw}
1760  \tau_w = \rho g \int_{0}^{2\pi} \int {\frac{1}{c_p} (S_{in}+S_{nl}+S_{diss})}dkd\theta
1761\]
1762
1763%% ∫2π0∫∞0kω(Sin+Sds) dωdθ
1764
1765where: $c_p$ is the phase speed of the gravity waves,
1766$S_{in}$, $S_{nl}$ and $S_{diss}$ are three source terms that represent
1767the 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
1768the 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.
1769The 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
1770 \np[=.true.]{ln_taw}{ln\_taw} .  In coupled mode both options can be used while in forced mode only the first option is included.
1771 
1772If 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:
1773\[
1774  % \label{eq:SBC_wave_tauoc}
1775  \tau_{oc,a} = \tau_a \times \widetilde{\tau}
1776\]
1777
1778If  \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.

1784\label{subsec:SBC_wave_TKE}
1785
1786
1787The 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.
1788The Stokes Drift shear contribution can be included, in coupled mode, by setting \np[=.true.]{ln_stshear}{ln\_stshear}.
1789
1790
1791In 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.
1792The injection of turbulent kinetic energy at the surface can be given by the dissipation of the wave field usually dominated by wave breaking.
1793
1794In 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}.
1795The 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})
1796
1797Some improvements are introduced in the Langmuir turbulence parameterization (see \autoref{chap:ZDF} \autoref{subsubsec:ZDF_tke_langmuir}) if wave coupled mode is activated.

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

1850
1851Note also that the setting a diurnal cycle in SWF is highly recommended when
1852the top layer thickness approach 1~m or less, otherwise large error in SST can appear due to
1853an inconsistency between the scale of the vertical resolution and the forcing acting on that scale.

1856\subsection{Rotation of vector pairs onto the model grid directions}
1857\label{subsec:SBC_rotation}
1858
1859When using a flux (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}) or bulk (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}) formulation,
1860pairs of vector components can be rotated from east-north directions onto the local grid directions.
1861This is particularly useful when interpolation on the fly is used since here any vectors are likely to
1862be defined relative to a rectilinear grid.
1863To activate this option, a non-empty string is supplied in the rotation pair column of the relevant namelist.
1864The eastward component must start with "U" and the northward component with "V".
1865The remaining characters in the strings are used to identify which pair of components go together.
1866So for example, strings "U1" and "V1" next to "utau" and "vtau" would pair the wind stress components together and
1867rotate them on to the model grid directions;
1868"U2" and "V2" could be used against a second pair of components, and so on.
1869The extra characters used in the strings are arbitrary.
1870The rot\_rep routine from the \mdl{geo2ocean} module is used to perform the rotation.

1879  \label{lst:namsbc_ssr}
1880\end{listing}
1881
1882Options are defined through the \nam{sbc_ssr}{sbc\_ssr} namelist variables.
1883On forced mode using a flux formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}),
1884a feedback term \emph{must} be added to the surface heat flux $Q_{ns}^o$:
1885\[
1886  % \label{eq:SBC_dmp_q}
1887  Q_{ns} = Q_{ns}^o + \frac{dQ}{dT} \left( \left. T \right|_{k=1} - SST_{Obs} \right)
1888\]
1889where SST is a sea surface temperature field (observed or climatological),
1890$T$ is the model surface layer temperature and
1891$\frac{dQ}{dT}$ is a negative feedback coefficient usually taken equal to $-40~W/m^2/K$.
1892For a $50~m$ mixed-layer depth, this value corresponds to a relaxation time scale of two months.
1893This term ensures that if $T$ perfectly matches the supplied SST, then $Q$ is equal to $Q_o$.
1894
1895In the fresh water budget, a feedback term can also be added.
1896Converted into an equivalent freshwater flux, it takes the following expression :
1897
1898\begin{equation}
1899  \label{eq:SBC_dmp_emp}
1900  \textit{emp} = \textit{emp}_o + \gamma_s^{-1} e_{3t}  \frac{  \left(\left.S\right|_{k=1}-SSS_{Obs}\right)}
1901  {\left.S\right|_{k=1}}
1902\end{equation}
1903
1904where $\textit{emp}_{o }$ is a net surface fresh water flux
1905(observed, climatological or an atmospheric model product),
1906\textit{SSS}$_{Obs}$ is a sea surface salinity
1907(usually a time interpolation of the monthly mean Polar Hydrographic Climatology \citep{steele.morley.ea_JC01}),
1908$\left.S\right|_{k=1}$ is the model surface layer salinity and
1909$\gamma_s$ is a negative feedback coefficient which is provided as a namelist parameter.
1910Unlike heat flux, there is no physical justification for the feedback term in \autoref{eq:SBC_dmp_emp} as
1911the atmosphere does not care about ocean surface salinity \citep{madec.delecluse_IWN97}.
1912The SSS restoring term should be viewed as a flux correction on freshwater fluxes to
1913reduce the uncertainties we have on the observed freshwater budget.

1916\subsection{Handling of ice-covered area  (\textit{sbcice\_...})}
1917\label{subsec:SBC_ice-cover}
1918
1919The presence at the sea surface of an ice covered area modifies all the fluxes transmitted to the ocean.
1920There are several way to handle sea-ice in the system depending on
1921the value of the \np{nn_ice}{nn\_ice} namelist parameter found in \nam{sbc}{sbc} namelist.
1922\begin{description}
1923\item [nn\_ice = 0] there will never be sea-ice in the computational domain.
1924  This is a typical namelist value used for tropical ocean domain.
1925  The surface fluxes are simply specified for an ice-free ocean.
1926  No specific things is done for sea-ice.
1927\item [nn\_ice = 1] sea-ice can exist in the computational domain, but no sea-ice model is used.
1928  An observed ice covered area is read in a file.
1929  Below this area, the SST is restored to the freezing point and
1930  the heat fluxes are set to $-4~W/m^2$ ($-2~W/m^2$) in the northern (southern) hemisphere.
1931  The associated modification of the freshwater fluxes are done in such a way that
1932  the change in buoyancy fluxes remains zero.
1933  This prevents deep convection to occur when trying to reach the freezing point
1934  (and so ice covered area condition) while the SSS is too large.
1935  This manner of managing sea-ice area, just by using a IF case,
1936  is usually referred as the \textit{ice-if} model.
1937  It can be found in the \mdl{sbcice\_if} module.
1938\item [nn\_ice = 2 or more] A full sea ice model is used.
1939  This model computes the ice-ocean fluxes,
1940  that are combined with the air-sea fluxes using the ice fraction of each model cell to
1941  provide the surface averaged ocean fluxes.
1942  Note that the activation of a sea-ice model is done by defining a CPP key (\key{si3} or \key{cice}).
1943  The activation automatically overwrites the read value of nn\_ice to its appropriate value
1944  (\ie\ $2$ for SI3 or $3$ for CICE).

1952\label{subsec:SBC_cice}
1953
1954It is possible to couple a regional or global \NEMO\ configuration (without AGRIF)
1955to the CICE sea-ice model by using \key{cice}.
1956The CICE code can be obtained from \href{http://oceans11.lanl.gov/trac/CICE/}{LANL} and
1957the additional 'hadgem3' drivers will be required, even with the latest code release.
1958Input grid files consistent with those used in \NEMO\ will also be needed,
1959and CICE CPP keys \textbf{ORCA\_GRID}, \textbf{CICE\_IN\_NEMO} and \textbf{coupled} should be used
1960(seek advice from UKMO if necessary).
1961Currently, the code is only designed to work when using the NCAR forcing option for \NEMO\ %GS: still true ?
1962(with \textit{calc\_strair}\forcode{=.true.} and \textit{calc\_Tsfc}\forcode{=.true.} in the CICE name-list),
1963or alternatively when \NEMO\ is coupled to the HadGAM3 atmosphere model
1964(with \textit{calc\_strair}\forcode{=.false.} and \textit{calc\_Tsfc}\forcode{=false}).
1965The code is intended to be used with \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} set to 1
1966(although coupling ocean and ice less frequently should work,
1967it is possible the calculation of some of the ocean-ice fluxes needs to be modified slightly -
1968the user should check that results are not significantly different to the standard case).
1969
1970There are two options for the technical coupling between \NEMO\ and CICE.
1971The standard version allows complete flexibility for the domain decompositions in the individual models,
1972but this is at the expense of global gather and scatter operations in the coupling which
1973become very expensive on larger numbers of processors.
1974The alternative option (using \key{nemocice\_decomp} for both \NEMO\ and CICE) ensures that
1975the domain decomposition is identical in both models (provided domain parameters are set appropriately,
1976and \textit{processor\_shape~=~square-ice} and \textit{distribution\_wght~=~block} in the CICE name-list) and
1977allows much more efficient direct coupling on individual processors.
1978This solution scales much better although it is at the expense of having more idle CICE processors in areas where
1979there is no sea ice.

1990
1991For global ocean simulations, it can be useful to introduce a control of the
1992mean sea level in order to prevent unrealistic drifting of the sea surface
1993height due to unbalanced freshwater fluxes. In \NEMO, two options for
1994controlling the freshwater budget are proposed.
1995
1996\begin{description}
1997\item [{\np[=0]{nn_fwb}{nn\_fwb}}:] No control at all; the mean sea level is
1998  free to drift, and will certainly do so.
1999\item [{\np[=1]{nn_fwb}{nn\_fwb}}:] The global mean \textit{emp} is set to zero at each model time step.
2000  %GS: comment below still relevant ?
2001  %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).
2002\item [{\np[=2]{nn_fwb}{nn\_fwb}}:] \textit{emp} is adjusted by adding a
2003  spatially uniform, annual-mean freshwater flux that balances the freshwater
2004  budget at the end of the previous year; as the model uses the Boussinesq
2005  approximation, the freshwater budget can be evaluated from the change in the
2006  mean sea level and in the ice and snow mass after the end of each simulation
2007  year; at the start of the model run, an initial adjustment flux can be set
2008  using parameter \np{rn_rwb0}{rn\_fwb0} in namelist \nam{sbc_fwb}{sbc\_fwb}.

2011% Griffies doc:
2012% When running ocean-ice simulations, we are not explicitly representing land processes,
2013% such as rivers, catchment areas, snow accumulation, etc. However, to reduce model drift,
2014% it is important to balance the hydrological cycle in ocean-ice models.
2015% We thus need to prescribe some form of global normalization to the precipitation minus evaporation plus river runoff.
2016% The result of the normalization should be a global integrated zero net water input to the ocean-ice system over
2017% a chosen time scale.
2018% How often the normalization is done is a matter of choice. In mom4p1, we choose to do so at each model time step,
2019% so that there is always a zero net input of water to the ocean-ice system.
2020% Others choose to normalize over an annual cycle, in which case the net imbalance over an annual cycle is used
2021% to alter the subsequent year�s water budget in an attempt to damp the annual water imbalance.
2022% Note that the annual budget approach may be inappropriate with interannually varying precipitation forcing.
2023% When running ocean-ice coupled models, it is incorrect to include the water transport between the ocean
2024% and ice models when aiming to balance the hydrological cycle.
2025% 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,
2026% not the water in any one sub-component. As an extreme example to illustrate the issue,
2027% consider an ocean-ice model with zero initial sea ice. As the ocean-ice model spins up,
2028% there should be a net accumulation of water in the growing sea ice, and thus a net loss of water from the ocean.
2029% The total water contained in the ocean plus ice system is constant, but there is an exchange of water between
2030% the subcomponents. This exchange should not be part of the normalization used to balance the hydrological cycle
2031% in ocean-ice models.
