Description
- Masson reported this one.
Vertical mixing schemes that make use of prognostic equations for turbulent quantities (ie. TKE and GLS) need boundary conditions.
Although 1d, production term in these schemes is computed taking half-sums of turbulent stresses at velocity points which themselves need half sums of viscosities. Hence, viscosities at T-boundary points are needed. As it is done, prognostic equations for turbulent quantities are computed at boundary points. A bit questionable, since all quantities are prescribed at these points. Sebastien reported related issues in a nested configuration crossing the equator, where shear instability is important.
Not that this issue is likely to occur with "off-line" open boundaries (key_bdy).
