Last edited [[Timestamp]] [[PageOutline]] === Author === Matthieu Leclair & Gurvan Madec ---- === Branch === DEV_r1837_MLF ---- === Description === Introduce the modified Leap-Frog Robert-Asselin filter to fit the one presented in Leclair and Madec Ocean Modelling (2009). This update is part of the LOCEAN.8 task (Update of the ocean physics) due by June 25th The main remaining modifications concern : (1) forcing terms as a mean between time step n-1/2 and n+1/2 (sbcmod) (2) Asselin filter: remove the forcing from the filter (dynnxt, tranxt, traqsr) (3) tranxt.F90 : semi-implicit hydrostatic pressure gradient : change the coefficients to take into account the Asselin filter parameter time mean T and S for the semi implicit hpg computation is now rbcp*ta+(2-rbcp)*tn+rbcp*tb with rbcp=(1+atfp)*(1+atfp*atfp) / 4, and atfp is the Asselin filter parameter. It used to be (ta+2*tn + tb) / 4. The effect of the change is to further extend the stability limit of the time stepping scheme when ln_dynhpg_imp = T === Current missing points === (1) and (2) ---- === Testing === Testing could consider (where appropriate) other configurations in addition to NVTK]. ||NVTK Tested||!'''YES/NO!'''|| ||Other model configurations||!'''YES/NO!'''|| ||Processor configurations tested||[ Enter processor configs tested here ]|| ||If adding new functionality please confirm that the [[BR]]New code doesn't change results when it is switched off [[BR]]and !''works!'' when switched on||!'''YES/NO/NA!'''|| (Answering UNSURE is likely to generate further questions from reviewers.)
