| 72 | '''A Coupling to surface wave-model''' |
| 73 | |
| 74 | First point because it is relevant to almost all the aspects treated in this section. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | → contribution of '''WG on "wave-model coupling"''' ? |
| 77 | |
| 78 | * For SBC, both in forced (B) and coupled (C) mode: |
| 79 | - better estimate of turbulent air-sea fluxes (bulk transfer coefficients, CD, CE and CH, through better knowledge of the sea surface roughness, like Charnock parameter) |
| 80 | - more accurate estimate of the momentum flux to the ocean, based on the consideration of the consumption/release of momentum associated with the growth/dissipation of the wave field. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | * For surface boundary-layer physics (D): |
| 83 | - better estimate of surface/sub-surface TKE injection via "breaking waves", "Langmuir circulation", (+mixing induced by non-breaking waves) that feed TKE and GLS schemes |
| 84 | - consideration of Stokes-Coriolis forces |
| 85 | |
| 86 | |
| 87 | '''B SBC in forced mode''' |
| 88 | |
| 89 | Representation of atmospheric of boundary layer processes. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | '''B.1 Traditional Bulk approach''' |
| 92 | |
| 93 | '''Consensus reached''' (at least by Madec & Brodeau)''':''' |
| 94 | |
| 95 | * Use more advanced algorithms and forcing functions than CORE, choice of algorithm (NCAR/COARE3.0/COARE3.5/ECMWF) |
| 96 | * If relevant, use the native cool-skin/warm-layer scheme of the given bulk algorithm to estimate the SSST and use it to compute non-solar heat fluxes (applies to COARE3.X and ECMF algorithms) |
| 97 | |
| 98 | → new sbcblk.F90 and sbcblk_algo_*.F90 based on [http://aerobulk.sourceforge.net/ AeroBulk] |

| 101 | |
| 102 | |
| 103 | '''In discussion (no consensus yet):''' |
| 104 | |
| 105 | * Directly prescribe the wind-stress from the given weather reanalysis product as a SBC instead of computing it with bulk formulae and U10, the surface wind speed (U10 from an reanalysis/forecast already includes the effect of sea surface roughness (waves) and/or current speed) |
| 106 | * wave model → see A |
| 107 | |
| 108 | '''B.2 Alternatives to the bulk approach''' |
| 109 | |
| 110 | * coupling to a to a "surface atmospheric boundary layer"-only model |
| 111 | * coupling to a relatively cheap ACGM with spectral nudging at a specified height |
| 112 | * ??? |
| 113 | |
| 114 | |
| 115 | '''C SBC in coupled mode''' |
| 116 | |
| 117 | * sbccpl.F90 / communication with OASIS needs to become comprehensive |
| 118 | * What's done in the rest of the code when "ln_cpl==.TRUE." must become consistent with what's done in forced mode. |
| 119 | * '''Idea: fake toy bulk atmosphere:''' |
| 120 | |
| 121 | NEMO(ln_cpl_true) ↔ OASIS ↔ '''BulkAtm''' |
| 122 | In which BulkAtm is simply a bulk formulae interface that receives the SST from NEMO via OASIS, reads gridded prescribed atmospheric variables, and send computed fluxes via OASIS. |
| 123 | |
| 124 | |
| 125 | '''D Surface boundary-layer physics''' |
| 126 | |
| 127 | * Benefit from a coupled wave mode (see A) |
| 128 | |
| 129 | * Sub-grid closure for ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) processes : |
| 130 | - coupling of lateral / vertical parameterizations in the OSBL |
| 131 | - evolution of TKE/GLS closure, OSMOSIS closure ? |
| 132 | - parameterization of spatially heterogeneous sub grid convection |
