Since March 2022 along with NEMO 4.2 release, the code development moved to a self-hosted GitLab.
This present forge is now archived and remained online for history.

ORCA2_LIM reference runs




A - Purposes:


Document the changes from ORCA2-LIM based on OPA8.2 and ORCA2-LIM base on last NEMO version
Key changes to be documented:

# Existing one :

  • partial step representation of bottom topography
  • updated TKE physics (surface/internal wave breaking)
  • new sea-ice component (LIM-3)

# Existing but not included in NEMO trunk :

  • Kz tides including ITF specific formulation (Laurent & Ariane PhD)
  • mesoscale eddy parametrisation : added in momentum equations (Aiki) (Claude/Gurvan? Japan)
  • 3 band light penetration (RGB) (Sebastian Japan)
  • Ocean color used to specified time-space varying light penetration (Sebastian Japan)
  • Diurnal cycle on qsr (from daily mean value) (Sebastian Japan)

# Forth coming one :

  • mesoscale eddy parametrisation : Griffies scheme + Visbeck coefficient (MetOffice?, NOCS)
  • npc reactivation (Claude/Gurvan?)
  • conservative leap-frog (Matthieu)
  • vvl + conservative leap-frog (Matthieu)

B - Ongoing simulations:


Abstract for the simulations performed (latest ones are the first presented):

  • for PHC_16: based on PHC_15 but :
    - apply -9% on precipitation & runoff instead of -8% in PHC_15 experiment
    
  • for PHC_15: based on PHC_11 but :
    just uses "good" input fields for K1 and M2 waves
    
  • for PHC_11: based on PHC_10 but includes both:
    it seems that input fields were not the good ones
    - global Kz tides 
    - increased Kz tides in the ITF area
    
  • for PHC_10: based on PHC_9 but includes both:
    - 3 waves lenghts penetration (RGB) through the traqsr.F90 module 
    - ocean color: climatology of a 2D chlorophyl field
    
  • for PHC_9: based on the PHC_8 experiment
    - change the way to compute wind stress & wind module: use the climatology of the field to be considered instead of the climatology of fields bsed on climatology components.
    says climatology of ||u||.u & ||u||.v fields instead using the wind module of climatological wind speed and climatological  wind speed components u/v
    - in doing this we don't take at all the relative velocity of the ocean/sea-ice in the computation of the wind stress
    
  • from PHC_1 to PHC_8 :
    - freshwater budget adjustement in playing with new namelist parameters alpha_precip, alpha_runoff
    - Gibraltar, Bab El Mandeb & Sound sraits transports adjustement ( based on scale factors or/and bondary condition fmask )
    - computation of the wind module modified: add the variance difference between

C - To do list/ Remaining Questions:

  • check climatological CORE bulk forcing fields computed during 1st and 2nd year
  • do moficiation to perfom annual mean outputs except the last year: OK
  • check with Martin that all ice parameters for LIM 3.0 are the best one for ORCA2_LIM.
  • ensure the upload of the STRAIT.dat file (transport through straits) : OK
  • rebuild the meshmask since the scale factors have been changed on some straits: OK

Questions to solve when setting the control simulation:

  • What are we doing with runoffs ? A: We used the standard climatology
  • freswater budget, annual correction ? A: yes, in using the previous year ssh drift.
  • Do we take into account the ice melting of Greenland and Antarctic into runoffs directly ?
  • advection scheme to use ? A: the TVD for tracers
  • define the way to manage the wind speed .vs. the sea-ice/ocean velocity, i.e do the difference of fields
  • define the relaxation time scale for the SSS restoring term and define the area i.e. (global even under sea-ice ?) Done everywhere even under sea-ice, same restorint time scale (12 days) as for SST which require a value of deds= - 864 mm/day
  • use the corrected interpolated temp/ salinity fields in Arctic from PHC for initialization suggested by Sylvain Bouillon see ticket: #227; Conkright et al. (2002) everywhere except in Arctic and Steel et al. (2001) for Arctic region data for the initialization ? (See Core paper)
  • bathymetry review ( special treatment of straits Gibraltar, Bab El ..ec ) A: yes around Gibraltar and Bab El Mandeb straits with new depth, and a reduing of scale factors.

D - Few characteristics of runs as a reminder:

  • perform internal damping (key_tradmp) ndmp = -1 around Gibraltat & Bab El Mandeb straits
  • SSS damping ln_sssr = true with a restoring time scale of 12 days (same as for SST) deds = -864 mm/day

E - Last results:
