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

104 | \section{Surface boundary condition for the ocean} |
---|
105 | \label{sec:SBC_ocean} |
---|
106 | |
---|
107 | The surface ocean stress is the stress exerted by the wind and the sea-ice on the ocean. |
---|
108 | It is applied in \mdl{dynzdf} module as a surface boundary condition of the computation of |
---|
109 | the momentum vertical mixing trend (see \autoref{eq:DYN_zdf_sbc} in \autoref{sec:DYN_zdf}). |
---|
110 | As such, it has to be provided as a 2D vector interpolated onto the horizontal velocity ocean mesh, |
---|
111 | \ie\ resolved onto the model (\textbf{i},\textbf{j}) direction at $u$- and $v$-points. |
---|
112 | |
---|
113 | The surface heat flux is decomposed into two parts, a non solar and a solar heat flux, |
---|
114 | $Q_{ns}$ and $Q_{sr}$, respectively. |
---|
115 | The former is the non penetrative part of the heat flux |
---|
116 | (\ie\ the sum of sensible, latent and long wave heat fluxes plus |
---|
117 | the heat content of the mass exchange between the ocean and sea-ice). |
---|
118 | It is applied in \mdl{trasbc} module as a surface boundary condition trend of |
---|
119 | the first level temperature time evolution equation |
---|
120 | (see \autoref{eq:TRA_sbc} and \autoref{eq:TRA_sbc_lin} in \autoref{subsec:TRA_sbc}). |
---|
121 | The latter is the penetrative part of the heat flux. |
---|
122 | It is applied as a 3D trend of the temperature equation (\mdl{traqsr} module) when |
---|
123 | \np[=.true.]{ln_traqsr}{ln\_traqsr}. |
---|
124 | The way the light penetrates inside the water column is generally a sum of decreasing exponentials |
---|
125 | (see \autoref{subsec:TRA_qsr}). |
---|
126 | |
---|
127 | The surface freshwater budget is provided by the \textit{emp} field. |
---|
128 | It represents the mass flux exchanged with the atmosphere (evaporation minus precipitation) and |
---|
129 | possibly with the sea-ice and ice shelves (freezing minus melting of ice). |
---|
130 | It affects the ocean in two different ways: |
---|
131 | $(i)$ it changes the volume of the ocean, and therefore appears in the sea surface height equation as %GS: autoref ssh equation to be added |
---|
132 | a volume flux, and |
---|
133 | $(ii)$ it changes the surface temperature and salinity through the heat and salt contents of |
---|
134 | the mass exchanged with atmosphere, sea-ice and ice shelves. |

179 | \section{Input data generic interface} |
---|
180 | \label{sec:SBC_input} |
---|
181 | |
---|
182 | A generic interface has been introduced to manage the way input data |
---|
183 | (2D or 3D fields, like surface forcing or ocean T and S) are specified in \NEMO. |
---|
184 | This task is achieved by \mdl{fldread}. |
---|
185 | The module is designed with four main objectives in mind: |
---|
186 | \begin{enumerate} |
---|
187 | \item optionally provide a time interpolation of the input data every specified model time-step, whatever their input frequency is, |
---|
188 | and according to the different calendars available in the model. |
---|
189 | \item optionally provide an on-the-fly space interpolation from the native input data grid to the model grid. |
---|
190 | \item make the run duration independent from the period cover by the input files. |
---|
191 | \item provide a simple user interface and a rather simple developer interface by |
---|
192 | limiting the number of prerequisite informations. |
---|
193 | \end{enumerate} |
---|
194 | |
---|
195 | As a result, the user has only to fill in for each variable a structure in the namelist file to |
---|
196 | define the input data file and variable names, the frequency of the data (in hours or months), |
---|
197 | whether its is climatological data or not, the period covered by the input file (one year, month, week or day), |
---|
198 | and three additional parameters for the on-the-fly interpolation. |
---|
199 | When adding a new input variable, the developer has to add the associated structure in the namelist, |
---|
200 | read this information by mirroring the namelist read in \rou{sbc\_blk\_init} for example, |
---|
201 | and simply call \rou{fld\_read} to obtain the desired input field at the model time-step and grid points. |
---|
202 | |
---|
203 | The only constraints are that the input file is a NetCDF file, the file name follows a nomenclature |
---|
204 | (see \autoref{subsec:SBC_fldread}), the period it cover is one year, month, week or day, and, |
---|
205 | if on-the-fly interpolation is used, a file of weights must be supplied (see \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}). |
---|
206 | |
---|
207 | Note that when an input data is archived on a disc which is accessible directly from the workspace where |
---|
208 | the code is executed, then the user can set the \np{cn_dir}{cn\_dir} to the pathway leading to the data. |
---|
209 | By default, the data are assumed to be in the same directory as the executable, so that cn\_dir='./'. |

---|

250 | } |
---|
251 | \label{tab:SBC_fldread} |
---|
252 | \end{table} |
---|
253 | \item [Record frequency]: the frequency of the records contained in the input file. |
---|
254 | Its unit is in hours if it is positive (for example 24 for daily forcing) or in months if negative |
---|
255 | (for example -1 for monthly forcing or -12 for annual forcing). |
---|
256 | Note that this frequency must REALLY be an integer and not a real. |
---|
257 | On some computers, setting it to '24.' can be interpreted as 240! |
---|
258 | \item [Variable name]: the name of the variable to be read in the input NetCDF file. |
---|
259 | \item [Time interpolation]: a logical to activate, or not, the time interpolation. |
---|
260 | If set to 'false', the forcing will have a steplike shape remaining constant during each forcing period. |
---|
261 | For example, when using a daily forcing without time interpolation, the forcing remaining constant from |
---|
262 | 00h00'00'' to 23h59'59". |
---|
263 | If set to 'true', the forcing will have a broken line shape. |
---|
264 | Records are assumed to be dated at the middle of the forcing period. |
---|
265 | For example, when using a daily forcing with time interpolation, |
---|
266 | linear interpolation will be performed between mid-day of two consecutive days. |
---|
267 | \item [Climatological forcing]: a logical to specify if a input file contains climatological forcing which can be cycle in time, |
---|
268 | or an interannual forcing which will requires additional files if |
---|
269 | the period covered by the simulation exceeds the one of the file. |
---|
270 | See the above file naming strategy which impacts the expected name of the file to be opened. |
---|
271 | \item [Open/close frequency]: the frequency at which forcing files must be opened/closed. |
---|
272 | Four cases are coded: |
---|
273 | 'daily', 'weekLLL' (with 'LLL' the first 3 letters of the first day of the week), 'monthly' and 'yearly' which |
---|
274 | means the forcing files will contain data for one day, one week, one month or one year. |
---|
275 | Files are assumed to contain data from the beginning of the open/close period. |
---|
276 | For example, the first record of a yearly file containing daily data is Jan 1st even if |
---|
277 | the experiment is not starting at the beginning of the year. |
---|
278 | \item [Others]: 'weights filename', 'pairing rotation' and 'land/sea mask' are associated with |
---|
279 | on-the-fly interpolation which is described in \autoref{subsec:SBC_iof}. |
---|
280 | \end{description} |
---|
281 | |
---|
282 | Additional remarks:\\ |
---|
283 | (1) The time interpolation is a simple linear interpolation between two consecutive records of the input data. |
---|
284 | The only tricky point is therefore to specify the date at which we need to do the interpolation and |
---|
285 | the date of the records read in the input files. |
---|
286 | Following \citet{leclair.madec_OM09}, the date of a time step is set at the middle of the time step. |
---|
287 | For example, for an experiment starting at 0h00'00" with a one-hour time-step, |
---|
288 | a time interpolation will be performed at the following time: 0h30'00", 1h30'00", 2h30'00", etc. |
---|
289 | However, for forcing data related to the surface module, |
---|
290 | values are not needed at every time-step but at every \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step. |
---|
291 | For example with \np[=3]{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc}, the surface module will be called at time-steps 1, 4, 7, etc. |
---|
292 | The date used for the time interpolation is thus redefined to the middle of \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} time-step period. |
---|
293 | In the previous example, this leads to: 1h30'00", 4h30'00", 7h30'00", etc. \\ |
---|
294 | (2) For code readablility and maintenance issues, we don't take into account the NetCDF input file calendar. |
---|
295 | The calendar associated with the forcing field is build according to the information provided by |
---|
296 | user in the record frequency, the open/close frequency and the type of temporal interpolation. |
---|
297 | For example, the first record of a yearly file containing daily data that will be interpolated in time is assumed to |
---|
298 | start Jan 1st at 12h00'00" and end Dec 31st at 12h00'00". \\ |
---|
299 | (3) If a time interpolation is requested, the code will pick up the needed data in the previous (next) file when |
---|
300 | interpolating data with the first (last) record of the open/close period. |
---|
301 | For example, if the input file specifications are ''yearly, containing daily data to be interpolated in time'', |
---|
302 | the values given by the code between 00h00'00" and 11h59'59" on Jan 1st will be interpolated values between |
---|
303 | Dec 31st 12h00'00" and Jan 1st 12h00'00". |
---|
304 | If the forcing is climatological, Dec and Jan will be keep-up from the same year. |
---|
305 | However, if the forcing is not climatological, at the end of |
---|
306 | the open/close period, the code will automatically close the current file and open the next one. |
---|
307 | Note that, if the experiment is starting (ending) at the beginning (end) of |
---|
308 | an open/close period, we do accept that the previous (next) file is not existing. |
---|
309 | In this case, the time interpolation will be performed between two identical values. |
---|
310 | For example, when starting an experiment on Jan 1st of year Y with yearly files and daily data to be interpolated, |
---|
311 | we do accept that the file related to year Y-1 is not existing. |
---|
312 | The value of Jan 1st will be used as the missing one for Dec 31st of year Y-1. |
---|
313 | If the file of year Y-1 exists, the code will read its last record. |
---|
314 | Therefore, this file can contain only one record corresponding to Dec 31st, |
---|
315 | a useful feature for user considering that it is too heavy to manipulate the complete file for year Y-1. |

318 | \subsection{Interpolation on-the-fly} |
---|
319 | \label{subsec:SBC_iof} |
---|
320 | |
---|
321 | Interpolation on the Fly allows the user to supply input files required for the surface forcing on |
---|
322 | grids other than the model grid. |
---|
323 | To do this, he or she must supply, in addition to the source data file(s), a file of weights to be used to |
---|
324 | interpolate from the data grid to the model grid. |
---|
325 | The original development of this code used the SCRIP package |
---|
326 | (freely available \href{http://climate.lanl.gov/Software/SCRIP}{here} under a copyright agreement). |
---|
327 | In principle, any package such as CDO can be used to generate the weights, but the variables in |
---|
328 | the input weights file must have the same names and meanings as assumed by the model. |
---|
329 | Two methods are currently available: bilinear and bicubic interpolations. |
---|
330 | Prior to the interpolation, providing a land/sea mask file, the user can decide to remove land points from |
---|
331 | the input file and substitute the corresponding values with the average of the 8 neighbouring points in |
---|
332 | the native external grid. |
---|
333 | Only "sea points" are considered for the averaging. |
---|
334 | The land/sea mask file must be provided in the structure associated with the input variable. |
---|
335 | The netcdf land/sea mask variable name must be 'LSM' and must have the same horizontal and vertical dimensions as |
---|
336 | the associated variables and should be equal to 1 over land and 0 elsewhere. |
---|
337 | The procedure can be recursively applied by setting nn\_lsm > 1 in namsbc namelist. |
---|
338 | Note that nn\_lsm=0 forces the code to not apply the procedure, even if a land/sea mask file is supplied. |
---|
339 | |
---|
340 | %% ================================================================================================= |
---|
341 | \subsubsection{Bilinear interpolation} |
---|
342 | \label{subsec:SBC_iof_bilinear} |
---|
343 | |
---|
344 | The input weights file in this case has two sets of variables: |
---|
345 | src01, src02, src03, src04 and wgt01, wgt02, wgt03, wgt04. |
---|
346 | The "src" variables correspond to the point in the input grid to which the weight "wgt" is applied. |
---|
347 | Each src value is an integer corresponding to the index of a point in the input grid when |
---|
348 | written as a one dimensional array. |
---|
349 | For example, for an input grid of size 5x10, point (3,2) is referenced as point 8, since (2-1)*5+3=8. |
---|
350 | There are four of each variable because bilinear interpolation uses the four points defining |
---|
351 | the grid box containing the point to be interpolated. |
---|
352 | All of these arrays are on the model grid, so that values src01(i,j) and wgt01(i,j) are used to |
---|
353 | generate a value for point (i,j) in the model. |
---|
354 | |
---|
355 | Symbolically, the algorithm used is: |
---|
356 | \[ |
---|
357 | f_{m}(i,j) = f_{m}(i,j) + \sum_{k=1}^{4} {wgt(k)f(idx(src(k)))} |
---|
358 | \] |
---|
359 | where function idx() transforms a one dimensional index src(k) into a two dimensional index, |
---|
360 | and wgt(1) corresponds to variable "wgt01" for example. |
---|
361 | |
---|
362 | %% ================================================================================================= |
---|
363 | \subsubsection{Bicubic interpolation} |
---|
364 | \label{subsec:SBC_iof_bicubic} |
---|
365 | |
---|
366 | Again, there are two sets of variables: "src" and "wgt". |
---|
367 | But in this case, there are 16 of each. |
---|
368 | The symbolic algorithm used to calculate values on the model grid is now: |
---|
369 | |
---|
370 | \[ |
---|
371 | \begin{split} |
---|
372 | f_{m}(i,j) = f_{m}(i,j) +& \sum_{k=1}^{4} {wgt(k)f(idx(src(k)))} |
---|
373 | + \sum_{k=5 }^{8 } {wgt(k)\left.\frac{\partial f}{\partial i}\right| _{idx(src(k))} } \\ |
---|
374 | +& \sum_{k=9 }^{12} {wgt(k)\left.\frac{\partial f}{\partial j}\right| _{idx(src(k))} } |
---|
375 | + \sum_{k=13}^{16} {wgt(k)\left.\frac{\partial ^2 f}{\partial i \partial j}\right| _{idx(src(k))} } |
---|
376 | \end{split} |
---|
377 | \] |
---|
378 | The gradients here are taken with respect to the horizontal indices and not distances since |
---|
379 | the spatial dependency has been included into the weights. |
---|
380 | |
---|
381 | %% ================================================================================================= |
---|
382 | \subsubsection{Implementation} |
---|
383 | \label{subsec:SBC_iof_imp} |
---|
384 | |
---|
385 | To activate this option, a non-empty string should be supplied in |
---|
386 | the weights filename column of the relevant namelist; |
---|
387 | if this is left as an empty string no action is taken. |
---|
388 | In the model, weights files are read in and stored in a structured type (WGT) in the fldread module, |
---|
389 | as and when they are first required. |
---|
390 | This initialisation procedure determines whether the input data grid should be treated as cyclical or not by |
---|
391 | inspecting a global attribute stored in the weights input file. |
---|
392 | This attribute must be called "ew\_wrap" and be of integer type. |
---|
393 | If it is negative, the input non-model grid is assumed to be not cyclic. |
---|
394 | If zero or greater, then the value represents the number of columns that overlap. |
---|
395 | $E.g.$ if the input grid has columns at longitudes 0, 1, 2, .... , 359, then ew\_wrap should be set to 0; |
---|
396 | if longitudes are 0.5, 2.5, .... , 358.5, 360.5, 362.5, ew\_wrap should be 2. |
---|
397 | If the model does not find attribute ew\_wrap, then a value of -999 is assumed. |
---|
398 | In this case, the \rou{fld\_read} routine defaults ew\_wrap to value 0 and |
---|
399 | therefore the grid is assumed to be cyclic with no overlapping columns. |
---|
400 | (In fact, this only matters when bicubic interpolation is required.) |
---|
401 | Note that no testing is done to check the validity in the model, |
---|
402 | since there is no way of knowing the name used for the longitude variable, |
---|
403 | so it is up to the user to make sure his or her data is correctly represented. |
---|
404 | |
---|
405 | Next the routine reads in the weights. |
---|
406 | Bicubic interpolation is assumed if it finds a variable with name "src05", otherwise bilinear interpolation is used. |
---|
407 | The WGT structure includes dynamic arrays both for the storage of the weights (on the model grid), |
---|
408 | and when required, for reading in the variable to be interpolated (on the input data grid). |
---|
409 | The size of the input data array is determined by examining the values in the "src" arrays to |
---|
410 | find the minimum and maximum i and j values required. |
---|
411 | Since bicubic interpolation requires the calculation of gradients at each point on the grid, |
---|
412 | the corresponding arrays are dimensioned with a halo of width one grid point all the way around. |
---|
413 | When the array of points from the data file is adjacent to an edge of the data grid, |
---|
414 | the halo is either a copy of the row/column next to it (non-cyclical case), |
---|
415 | or is a copy of one from the first few columns on the opposite side of the grid (cyclical case). |
---|

419 | \label{subsec:SBC_iof_lim} |
---|
420 | |
---|
421 | \begin{enumerate} |
---|
422 | \item The case where input data grids are not logically rectangular (irregular grid case) has not been tested. |
---|
423 | \item This code is not guaranteed to produce positive definite answers from positive definite inputs when |
---|
424 | a bicubic interpolation method is used. |
---|
425 | \item The cyclic condition is only applied on left and right columns, and not to top and bottom rows. |
---|
426 | \item The gradients across the ends of a cyclical grid assume that the grid spacing between |
---|
427 | the two columns involved are consistent with the weights used. |
---|
428 | \item Neither interpolation scheme is conservative. (There is a conservative scheme available in SCRIP, |
---|
429 | but this has not been implemented.) |

449 | |
---|
450 | In some circumstances, it may be useful to avoid calculating the 3D temperature, |
---|
451 | salinity and velocity fields and simply read them in from a previous run or receive them from OASIS. |
---|
452 | For example: |
---|
453 | |
---|
454 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
455 | \item Multiple runs of the model are required in code development to |
---|
456 | see the effect of different algorithms in the bulk formulae. |
---|
457 | \item The effect of different parameter sets in the ice model is to be examined. |
---|
458 | \item Development of sea-ice algorithms or parameterizations. |
---|
459 | \item Spinup of the iceberg floats |
---|
460 | \item Ocean/sea-ice simulation with both models running in parallel (\np[=.true.]{ln_mixcpl}{ln\_mixcpl}) |
---|
461 | \end{itemize} |
---|
462 | |
---|
463 | The Standalone Surface scheme provides this capacity. |
---|
464 | Its options are defined through the \nam{sbc_sas}{sbc\_sas} namelist variables. |
---|
465 | A new copy of the model has to be compiled with a configuration based on ORCA2\_SAS\_LIM. |
---|
466 | However, no namelist parameters need be changed from the settings of the previous run (except perhaps nn\_date0). |
---|
467 | In this configuration, a few routines in the standard model are overriden by new versions. |
---|
468 | Routines replaced are: |
---|
469 | |
---|
470 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
471 | \item \mdl{nemogcm}: This routine initialises the rest of the model and repeatedly calls the stp time stepping routine (\mdl{step}). |
---|
472 | Since the ocean state is not calculated all associated initialisations have been removed. |
---|
473 | \item \mdl{step}: The main time stepping routine now only needs to call the sbc routine (and a few utility functions). |
---|
474 | \item \mdl{sbcmod}: This has been cut down and now only calculates surface forcing and the ice model required. |
---|
475 | New surface modules that can function when only the surface level of the ocean state is defined can also be added |
---|
476 | (\eg\ icebergs). |
---|
477 | \item \mdl{daymod}: No ocean restarts are read or written (though the ice model restarts are retained), |
---|
478 | so calls to restart functions have been removed. |
---|
479 | This also means that the calendar cannot be controlled by time in a restart file, |
---|
480 | so the user must check that nn\_date0 in the model namelist is correct for his or her purposes. |
---|
481 | \item \mdl{stpctl}: Since there is no free surface solver, references to it have been removed from \rou{stp\_ctl} module. |
---|
482 | \item \mdl{diawri}: All 3D data have been removed from the output. |
---|
483 | The surface temperature, salinity and velocity components (which have been read in) are written along with |
---|
484 | relevant forcing and ice data. |
---|
485 | \end{itemize} |
---|
486 | |
---|
487 | One new routine has been added: |
---|
488 | |
---|
489 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
490 | \item \mdl{sbcsas}: This module initialises the input files needed for reading temperature, salinity and |
---|
491 | velocity arrays at the surface. |
---|
492 | These filenames are supplied in namelist namsbc\_sas. |
---|
493 | Unfortunately, because of limitations with the \mdl{iom} module, |
---|
494 | the full 3D fields from the mean files have to be read in and interpolated in time, |
---|
495 | before using just the top level. |
---|
496 | Since fldread is used to read in the data, Interpolation on the Fly may be used to change input data resolution. |
---|
497 | \end{itemize} |
---|
498 | |
---|
499 | The 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 |
---|
500 | (\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. |

645 | |
---|
646 | Accuracy of the estimate of surface turbulent fluxes by means of bulk formulae |
---|
647 | strongly relies on that of the bulk transfer coefficients: $C_D$, $C_H$ and |
---|
648 | $C_E$. They are estimated with what we refer to as a \emph{bulk |
---|
649 | parametrization} algorithm. When relevant, these algorithms also perform the |
---|
650 | height adjustment of humidity and temperature to the wind reference measurement |
---|
651 | height (from \np{rn_zqt}{rn\_zqt} to \np{rn_zu}{rn\_zu}). |
---|
652 | |
---|
653 | |
---|
654 | |
---|
655 | For the open ocean, four bulk parametrization algorithms are available in NEMO: |
---|
656 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
657 | \item NCAR, formerly known as CORE, \citep{large.yeager_rpt04,large.yeager_CD09} |
---|
658 | \item COARE 3.0 \citep{fairall.bradley.ea_JC03} |
---|
659 | \item COARE 3.6 \citep{edson.jampana.ea_JPO13,fairall.blomquist_rpt18} |
---|
660 | \item ECMWF (IFS documentation, cy45) |
---|
661 | \end{itemize} |
---|
662 | |
---|
663 | |
---|
664 | With respect to version 3, the principal advances in version 3.6 of the COARE |
---|
665 | bulk parametrization are built around improvements in the representation of the |
---|
666 | effects of waves on |
---|
667 | fluxes \citep{edson.jampana.ea_JPO13,brodeau.barnier.ea_JPO17}. This includes |
---|
668 | improved relationships of surface roughness, and whitecap fraction on wave |
---|
669 | parameters. It is therefore recommended to chose version 3.6 over 3. |

679 | As opposed to the NCAR bulk parametrization, more advanced bulk |

680 | parametrizations such as COARE3.x and ECMWF are meant to be used with the skin |

682 | the first T-point level, see section\,\ref{subsec:SBC_blkform}). |

683 | % |

684 | As such, the relevant cool-skin and warm-layer parametrization must be |

691 | For the cool-skin scheme parametrization COARE and ECMWF algorithms share the same |

692 | basis: \citet{fairall.bradley.ea_JGR96}. With some minor updates based |

694 | 3.6. |

695 | |

696 | For the warm-layer scheme, ECMWF is based on \citet{zeng.beljaars_GRL05} with a |

699 | |

720 | \subsection{Appropriate use of each bulk parametrization} |
---|
721 | |
---|
722 | \subsubsection{NCAR} |
---|
723 | |
---|
724 | NCAR bulk parametrizations (formerly known as CORE) is meant to be used with the |
---|
725 | CORE II atmospheric forcing \citep{large.yeager_CD09}. The expected sea surface |
---|
726 | temperature is the bulk SST. Hence the following namelist parameters must be |
---|
727 | set: |
---|
728 | % |
---|
729 | \begin{verbatim} |
---|

---|
731 | ln_NCAR = .true. |

741 | |

742 | |
---|
743 | \subsubsection{ECMWF} |
---|
744 | % |
---|
745 | With an atmospheric forcing based on a reanalysis of the ECMWF, such as the |
---|
746 | Drakkar Forcing Set \citep{brodeau.barnier.ea_OM10}, we strongly recommend to |
---|
747 | use the ECMWF bulk parametrizations with the cool-skin and warm-layer |
---|
748 | parametrizations activated. In ECMWF reanalyzes, since air temperature and |
---|
749 | humidity are provided at the 2\,m height, and given that the humidity is |
---|
750 | distributed as the dew-point temperature, the namelist must be tuned as follows: |
---|
751 | % |
---|
752 | \begin{verbatim} |
---|
753 | ... |

---|
763 | ... |
---|
764 | \end{verbatim} |
---|
765 | % |
---|
766 | Note: when \np{ln_ECMWF}{ln\_ECMWF} is selected, the selection |
---|
767 | of \np{ln_skin_cs}{ln\_skin\_cs} and \np{ln_skin_wl}{ln\_skin\_wl} implicitly |
---|
768 | triggers the use of the ECMWF cool-skin and warm-layer parametrizations, |
---|
769 | respectively (found in \textit{sbcblk\_skin\_ecmwf.F90}). |
---|
770 | |
---|
771 | |
---|
772 | \subsubsection{COARE 3.x} |
---|
773 | % |
---|
774 | Since the ECMWF parametrization is largely based on the COARE* parametrization, |
---|
775 | the two algorithms are very similar in terms of structure and closure |
---|
776 | approach. As such, the namelist tuning for COARE 3.x is identical to that of |
---|
777 | ECMWF: |
---|
778 | % |
---|
779 | \begin{verbatim} |

---|
789 | of \np{ln_skin_cs}{ln\_skin\_cs} and \np{ln_skin_wl}{ln\_skin\_wl} implicitly |

808 | \subsection{Prescribed near-surface atmospheric state} |

809 | |
---|
810 | The atmospheric fields used depend on the bulk formulae used. In forced mode, |
---|
811 | when a sea-ice model is used, a specific bulk formulation is used. Therefore, |
---|
812 | different bulk formulae are used for the turbulent fluxes computation over the |
---|
813 | ocean and over sea-ice surface. |

925 | a constant transfer coefficient (1.4e-3; default |

926 | value), \citet{lupkes.gryanik.ea_JGR12} (\np{ln_Cd_L12}{ln\_Cd\_L12}), |

938 | \item \citet{lupkes.gryanik.ea_JGR12} (\np[=.true.]{ln_Cd_L12}{ln\_Cd\_L12}): |

939 | This scheme adds a dependency on edges at leads, melt ponds and flows |

940 | of the constant neutral air-ice drag. After some approximations, |

965 | In the coupled formulation of the surface boundary condition, |
---|
966 | the fluxes are provided by the OASIS coupler at a frequency which is defined in the OASIS coupler namelist, |
---|
967 | while sea and ice surface temperature, ocean and ice albedo, and ocean currents are sent to |
---|
968 | the atmospheric component. |
---|
969 | |
---|
970 | A generalised coupled interface has been developed. |
---|
971 | It is currently interfaced with OASIS-3-MCT versions 1 to 4 (\key{oasis3}). |
---|
972 | An additional specific CPP key (\key{oa3mct\_v1v2}) is needed for OASIS-3-MCT versions 1 and 2. |
---|
973 | It has been successfully used to interface \NEMO\ to most of the European atmospheric GCM |
---|
974 | (ARPEGE, ECHAM, ECMWF, HadAM, HadGAM, LMDz), as well as to \href{http://wrf-model.org/}{WRF} |

976 | |
---|
977 | When PISCES biogeochemical model (\key{top}) is also used in the coupled system, |
---|
978 | the whole carbon cycle is computed. |
---|
979 | In this case, CO$_2$ fluxes will be exchanged between the atmosphere and the ice-ocean system |
---|
980 | (and need to be activated in \nam{sbc_cpl}{sbc\_cpl} ). |
---|
981 | |
---|
982 | The namelist above allows control of various aspects of the coupling fields (particularly for vectors) and |
---|
983 | now allows for any coupling fields to have multiple sea ice categories (as required by LIM3 and CICE). |
---|
984 | When indicating a multi-category coupling field in \nam{sbc_cpl}{sbc\_cpl}, the number of categories will be determined by |
---|
985 | the number used in the sea ice model. |
---|
986 | In some limited cases, it may be possible to specify single category coupling fields even when |
---|
987 | the sea ice model is running with multiple categories - |
---|
988 | in this case, the user should examine the code to be sure the assumptions made are satisfactory. |
---|
989 | In cases where this is definitely not possible, the model should abort with an error message. |

1050 | defined in file \hf{SBC/tide} (this comprises the tidal |

1066 | $\Pi_{sal}$ generated by an external model can be read in |

1067 | (\np[=.true.]{ln_read_load}{ln\_read\_load}), or a ``scalar approximation'' can be |

1069 | \[ |

1072 | where $\beta$ (\np{rn_scal_load}{rn\_scal\_load} with a default value of 0.094) is a |

1073 | spatially constant scalar, often chosen to minimize tidal prediction |

1106 | This was the case in \NEMO\ prior to the version 3.3, |

1107 | and was combined with an option to increase vertical mixing near the river mouth. |
---|
1108 | |
---|
1109 | However, with this method numerical and physical problems arise when the top grid cells are of the order of one meter. |
---|
1110 | This situation is common in coastal modelling and is becoming more common in open ocean and climate modelling |
---|
1111 | \footnote{ |

1112 | At least a top cells thickness of 1~meter and a 3 hours forcing frequency are required to |

---|
1114 | see also \autoref{fig:SBC_dcy}.}. |
---|
1115 | |
---|
1116 | As such from V~3.3 onwards it is possible to add river runoff through a non-zero depth, |
---|
1117 | and for the temperature and salinity of the river to effect the surrounding ocean. |
---|
1118 | The user is able to specify, in a NetCDF input file, the temperature and salinity of the river, |
---|
1119 | along with the depth (in metres) which the river should be added to. |
---|
1120 | |
---|
1121 | Namelist variables in \nam{sbc_rnf}{sbc\_rnf}, \np{ln_rnf_depth}{ln\_rnf\_depth}, \np{ln_rnf_sal}{ln\_rnf\_sal} and |
---|
1122 | \np{ln_rnf_temp}{ln\_rnf\_temp} control whether the river attributes (depth, salinity and temperature) are read in and used. |
---|
1123 | If these are set as false the river is added to the surface box only, assumed to be fresh (0~psu), |
---|
1124 | and/or taken as surface temperature respectively. |
---|
1125 | |
---|
1126 | The runoff value and attributes are read in in sbcrnf. |
---|
1127 | For temperature -999 is taken as missing data and the river temperature is taken to |
---|
1128 | be the surface temperatue at the river point. |
---|
1129 | For the depth parameter a value of -1 means the river is added to the surface box only, |
---|
1130 | and a value of -999 means the river is added through the entire water column. |
---|
1131 | After being read in the temperature and salinity variables are multiplied by the amount of runoff |
---|
1132 | (converted into m/s) to give the heat and salt content of the river runoff. |
---|
1133 | After the user specified depth is read ini, |
---|
1134 | the number of grid boxes this corresponds to is calculated and stored in the variable \np{nz_rnf}{nz\_rnf}. |
---|
1135 | The variable \textit{h\_dep} is then calculated to be the depth (in metres) of |
---|
1136 | the bottom of the lowest box the river water is being added to |
---|
1137 | (\ie\ the total depth that river water is being added to in the model). |
---|
1138 | |
---|
1139 | The mass/volume addition due to the river runoff is, at each relevant depth level, added to |
---|
1140 | the horizontal divergence (\textit{hdivn}) in the subroutine \rou{sbc\_rnf\_div} (called from \mdl{divhor}). |
---|
1141 | This increases the diffusion term in the vicinity of the river, thereby simulating a momentum flux. |
---|
1142 | The sea surface height is calculated using the sum of the horizontal divergence terms, |
---|
1143 | and so the river runoff indirectly forces an increase in sea surface height. |
---|
1144 | |
---|
1145 | The \textit{hdivn} terms are used in the tracer advection modules to force vertical velocities. |
---|
1146 | This causes a mass of water, equal to the amount of runoff, to be moved into the box above. |
---|
1147 | The heat and salt content of the river runoff is not included in this step, |
---|
1148 | and so the tracer concentrations are diluted as water of ocean temperature and salinity is moved upward out of |
---|
1149 | the box and replaced by the same volume of river water with no corresponding heat and salt addition. |
---|
1150 | |
---|
1151 | For the linear free surface case, at the surface box the tracer advection causes a flux of water |
---|
1152 | (of equal volume to the runoff) through the sea surface out of the domain, |
---|
1153 | which causes a salt and heat flux out of the model. |
---|
1154 | As such the volume of water does not change, but the water is diluted. |
---|
1155 | |
---|
1156 | For the non-linear free surface case, no flux is allowed through the surface. |
---|
1157 | Instead in the surface box (as well as water moving up from the boxes below) a volume of runoff water is added with |
---|
1158 | no corresponding heat and salt addition and so as happens in the lower boxes there is a dilution effect. |
---|
1159 | (The runoff addition to the top box along with the water being moved up through |
---|
1160 | boxes below means the surface box has a large increase in volume, whilst all other boxes remain the same size) |
---|
1161 | |
---|
1162 | In trasbc the addition of heat and salt due to the river runoff is added. |
---|
1163 | This is done in the same way for both vvl and non-vvl. |
---|
1164 | The temperature and salinity are increased through the specified depth according to |
---|
1165 | the heat and salt content of the river. |
---|
1166 | |
---|
1167 | In the non-linear free surface case (vvl), |
---|
1168 | near the end of the time step the change in sea surface height is redistrubuted through the grid boxes, |
---|
1169 | so that the original ratios of grid box heights are restored. |
---|
1170 | In doing this water is moved into boxes below, throughout the water column, |
---|
1171 | so the large volume addition to the surface box is spread between all the grid boxes. |
---|
1172 | |
---|
1173 | It is also possible for runnoff to be specified as a negative value for modelling flow through straits, |
---|
1174 | \ie\ modelling the Baltic flow in and out of the North Sea. |
---|
1175 | When the flow is out of the domain there is no change in temperature and salinity, |
---|
1176 | regardless of the namelist options used, |
---|
1177 | as the ocean water leaving the domain removes heat and salt (at the same concentration) with it. |

1238 | \item [{\np[=2]{nn_isfblk}{nn\_isfblk}}]: The melt rate and the heat flux are based on a 3 equations formulation |

---|
1329 | |
---|
1330 | Ice sheet/ocean coupling is done through file exchange at the restart step. |
---|
1331 | At each restart step: |
---|
1332 | |
---|
1333 | \begin{enumerate} |
---|
1334 | \item the ice sheet model send a new bathymetry and ice shelf draft netcdf file. |
---|
1335 | \item a new domcfg.nc file is built using the DOMAINcfg tools. |
---|
1336 | \item \NEMO\ run for a specific period and output the average melt rate over the period. |
---|
1337 | \item the ice sheet model run using the melt rate outputed in step 4. |
---|
1338 | \item go back to 1. |
---|
1339 | \end{enumerate} |
---|
1340 | |
---|
1341 | If \np[=.true.]{ln_iscpl}{ln\_iscpl}, the isf draft is assume to be different at each restart step with |
---|
1342 | potentially some new wet/dry cells due to the ice sheet dynamics/thermodynamics. |
---|
1343 | The wetting and drying scheme applied on the restart is very simple and described below for the 6 different possible cases: |
---|
1344 | |
---|
1345 | \begin{description} |
---|
1346 | \item [Thin a cell down]: T/S/ssh are unchanged and U/V in the top cell are corrected to keep the barotropic transport (bt) constant |
---|
1347 | ($bt_b=bt_n$). |
---|
1348 | \item [Enlarge a cell]: See case "Thin a cell down" |
---|
1349 | \item [Dry a cell]: mask, T/S, U/V and ssh are set to 0. |
---|
1350 | Furthermore, U/V into the water column are modified to satisfy ($bt_b=bt_n$). |
---|
1351 | \item [Wet a cell]: mask is set to 1, T/S is extrapolated from neighbours, $ssh_n = ssh_b$ and U/V set to 0. |
---|
1352 | If no neighbours, T/S is extrapolated from old top cell value. |
---|
1353 | If no neighbours along i,j and k (both previous test failed), T/S/U/V/ssh and mask are set to 0. |
---|
1354 | \item [Dry a column]: mask, T/S, U/V are set to 0 everywhere in the column and ssh set to 0. |
---|
1355 | \item [Wet a column]: set mask to 1, T/S is extrapolated from neighbours, ssh is extrapolated from neighbours and U/V set to 0. |
---|
1356 | If no neighbour, T/S/U/V and mask set to 0. |
---|
1357 | \end{description} |
---|
1358 | |
---|
1359 | Furthermore, as the before and now fields are not compatible (modification of the geometry), |
---|
1360 | the restart time step is prescribed to be an euler time step instead of a leap frog and $fields_b = fields_n$.\\ |
---|
1361 | |
---|
1362 | The horizontal extrapolation to fill new cell with realistic value is called \np{nn_drown}{nn\_drown} times. |
---|
1363 | It means that if the grounding line retreat by more than \np{nn_drown}{nn\_drown} cells between 2 coupling steps, |
---|
1364 | the code will be unable to fill all the new wet cells properly. |
---|
1365 | The default number is set up for the MISOMIP idealised experiments. |
---|
1366 | This coupling procedure is able to take into account grounding line and calving front migration. |
---|
1367 | However, it is a non-conservative processe. |
---|
1368 | This could lead to a trend in heat/salt content and volume.\\ |
---|
1369 | |
---|
1370 | In order to remove the trend and keep the conservation level as close to 0 as possible, |
---|
1371 | a simple conservation scheme is available with \np[=.true.]{ln_hsb}{ln\_hsb}. |
---|
1372 | The heat/salt/vol. gain/loss is diagnosed, as well as the location. |
---|
1373 | A correction increment is computed and apply each time step during the next \np{rn_fiscpl}{rn\_fiscpl} time steps. |
---|
1374 | For safety, it is advised to set \np{rn_fiscpl}{rn\_fiscpl} equal to the coupling period (smallest increment possible). |
---|
1375 | The corrective increment is apply into the cell itself (if it is a wet cell), the neigbouring cells or the closest wet cell (if the cell is now dry). |

---|
1386 | |
---|
1387 | Icebergs are modelled as lagrangian particles in \NEMO\ \citep{marsh.ivchenko.ea_GMD15}. |
---|
1388 | Their physical behaviour is controlled by equations as described in \citet{martin.adcroft_OM10} ). |
---|
1389 | (Note that the authors kindly provided a copy of their code to act as a basis for implementation in \NEMO). |
---|
1390 | Icebergs are initially spawned into one of ten classes which have specific mass and thickness as |
---|
1391 | described in the \nam{berg}{berg} namelist: \np{rn_initial_mass}{rn\_initial\_mass} and \np{rn_initial_thickness}{rn\_initial\_thickness}. |
---|
1392 | Each class has an associated scaling (\np{rn_mass_scaling}{rn\_mass\_scaling}), |
---|
1393 | which is an integer representing how many icebergs of this class are being described as one lagrangian point |
---|
1394 | (this reduces the numerical problem of tracking every single iceberg). |
---|
1395 | They are enabled by setting \np[=.true.]{ln_icebergs}{ln\_icebergs}. |
---|
1396 | |
---|
1397 | Two initialisation schemes are possible. |
---|
1398 | \begin{description} |
---|
1399 | \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 |
---|
1400 | (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 |
---|
1401 | which an iceberg is generated at the beginning of the run. |
---|
1402 | (Note that this happens each time the timestep equals \np{nn_nit000}{nn\_nit000}.) |
---|
1403 | \np{nn_test_icebergs}{nn\_test\_icebergs} is defined by four numbers in \np{nn_test_box}{nn\_test\_box} representing the corners of |
---|
1404 | the geographical box: lonmin,lonmax,latmin,latmax |
---|
1405 | \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. |
---|
1406 | This should be a file with a field on the configuration grid (typically ORCA) |
---|
1407 | representing ice accumulation rate at each model point. |
---|
1408 | These should be ocean points adjacent to land where icebergs are known to calve. |
---|
1409 | Most points in this input grid are going to have value zero. |
---|
1410 | When the model runs, ice is accumulated at each grid point which has a non-zero source term. |
---|
1411 | At each time step, a test is performed to see if there is enough ice mass to |
---|
1412 | calve an iceberg of each class in order (1 to 10). |
---|
1413 | Note that this is the initial mass multiplied by the number each particle represents (\ie\ the scaling). |
---|
1414 | If there is enough ice, a new iceberg is spawned and the total available ice reduced accordingly. |
---|
1415 | \end{description} |
---|
1416 | |
---|
1417 | Icebergs are influenced by wind, waves and currents, bottom melt and erosion. |
---|
1418 | The latter act to disintegrate the iceberg. |
---|
1419 | This is either all melted freshwater, |
---|
1420 | or (if \np{rn_bits_erosion_fraction}{rn\_bits\_erosion\_fraction}~$>$~0) into melt and additionally small ice bits |
---|
1421 | which are assumed to propagate with their larger parent and thus delay fluxing into the ocean. |
---|
1422 | Melt water (and other variables on the configuration grid) are written into the main \NEMO\ model output files. |
---|
1423 | |
---|
1424 | Extensive diagnostics can be produced. |
---|
1425 | Separate output files are maintained for human-readable iceberg information. |
---|
1426 | A separate file is produced for each processor (independent of \np{ln_ctl}{ln\_ctl}). |
---|
1427 | The amount of information is controlled by two integer parameters: |
---|
1428 | \begin{description} |
---|
1429 | \item [{\np{nn_verbose_level}{nn\_verbose\_level}}] takes a value between one and four and |
---|
1430 | represents an increasing number of points in the code at which variables are written, |
---|
1431 | and an increasing level of obscurity. |
---|
1432 | \item [{\np{nn_verbose_write}{nn\_verbose\_write}}] is the number of timesteps between writes |
---|
1433 | \end{description} |
---|
1434 | |
---|
1435 | Iceberg trajectories can also be written out and this is enabled by setting \np{nn_sample_rate}{nn\_sample\_rate}~$>$~0. |
---|
1436 | A non-zero value represents how many timesteps between writes of information into the output file. |
---|
1437 | These output files are in NETCDF format. |
---|
1438 | When \key{mpp\_mpi} is defined, each output file contains only those icebergs in the corresponding processor. |
---|
1439 | Trajectory points are written out in the order of their parent iceberg in the model's "linked list" of icebergs. |
---|
1440 | So care is needed to recreate data for individual icebergs, |
---|
1441 | since its trajectory data may be spread across multiple files. |

---|
1484 | \label{subsec:SBC_wave_sdw} |
---|
1485 | |
---|
1486 | The Stokes drift is a wave driven mechanism of mass and momentum transport \citep{stokes_ibk09}. |
---|
1487 | It is defined as the difference between the average velocity of a fluid parcel (Lagrangian velocity) |
---|
1488 | and the current measured at a fixed point (Eulerian velocity). |
---|
1489 | As waves travel, the water particles that make up the waves travel in orbital motions but |
---|
1490 | without a closed path. Their movement is enhanced at the top of the orbit and slowed slightly |
---|
1491 | at the bottom, so the result is a net forward motion of water particles, referred to as the Stokes drift. |
---|
1492 | An accurate evaluation of the Stokes drift and the inclusion of related processes may lead to improved |
---|
1493 | representation of surface physics in ocean general circulation models. %GS: reference needed |
---|
1494 | The Stokes drift velocity $\mathbf{U}_{st}$ in deep water can be computed from the wave spectrum and may be written as: |
---|
1495 | |
---|
1496 | \[ |
---|
1497 | % \label{eq:SBC_wave_sdw} |
---|
1498 | \mathbf{U}_{st} = \frac{16{\pi^3}} {g} |

---|

---|
1502 | |
---|
1503 | where: ${\theta}$ is the wave direction, $f$ is the wave intrinsic frequency, |
---|
1504 | $\mathrm{S}($f$,\theta)$ is the 2D frequency-direction spectrum, |
---|
1505 | $k$ is the mean wavenumber defined as: |
---|
1506 | $k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$ (being $\lambda$ the wavelength). \\ |
---|
1507 | |
---|
1508 | In order to evaluate the Stokes drift in a realistic ocean wave field, the wave spectral shape is required |
---|
1509 | and its computation quickly becomes expensive as the 2D spectrum must be integrated for each vertical level. |
---|
1510 | To simplify, it is customary to use approximations to the full Stokes profile. |
---|
1511 | Three possible parameterizations for the calculation for the approximate Stokes drift velocity profile |

1512 | are included in the code through the \np{nn_sdrift}{nn\_sdrift} parameter once provided the surface Stokes drift |

1554 | The Stokes drift enters the wave-averaged momentum equation, as well as the tracer advection equations |

1562 | |
---|
1563 | The tracer advection equation is also modified in order for Eulerian ocean models to properly account |
---|
1564 | for unresolved wave effect. The divergence of the wave tracer flux equals the mean tracer advection |

1566 | The advective equation for a tracer $c$ combining the effects of the mean current and sea surface waves |

1577 | \label{subsec:SBC_wave_stcor} |

1578 | |

1579 | In a rotating ocean, waves exert a wave-induced stress on the mean ocean circulation which results |

1581 | This additional force may have impact on the Ekman turning of the surface current. |

1582 | In order to include this term, once evaluated the Stokes drift (using one of the 3 possible |

---|
1588 | \label{subsec:SBC_wave_tauw} |
---|
1589 | |
---|
1590 | The surface stress felt by the ocean is the atmospheric stress minus the net stress going |
---|
1591 | into the waves \citep{janssen.breivik.ea_rpt13}. Therefore, when waves are growing, momentum and energy is spent and is not |
---|
1592 | available for forcing the mean circulation, while in the opposite case of a decaying sea |
---|
1593 | state, more momentum is available for forcing the ocean. |
---|
1594 | Only when the sea state is in equilibrium, the ocean is forced by the atmospheric stress, |
---|
1595 | but in practice, an equilibrium sea state is a fairly rare event. |
---|
1596 | So the atmospheric stress felt by the ocean circulation $\tau_{oc,a}$ can be expressed as: |
---|
1597 | |
---|
1598 | \[ |
---|
1599 | % \label{eq:SBC_wave_tauoc} |

1604 | $\tau_w$ is the atmospheric stress going into the waves defined as: |

1605 | |
---|
1606 | \[ |
---|
1607 | % \label{eq:SBC_wave_tauw} |
---|
1608 | \tau_w = \rho g \int {\frac{dk}{c_p} (S_{in}+S_{nl}+S_{diss})} |

1611 | where: $c_p$ is the phase speed of the gravity waves, |
---|
1612 | $S_{in}$, $S_{nl}$ and $S_{diss}$ are three source terms that represent |
---|
1613 | the physics of ocean waves. The first one, $S_{in}$, describes the generation |
---|
1614 | of ocean waves by wind and therefore represents the momentum and energy transfer |
---|
1615 | from air to ocean waves; the second term $S_{nl}$ denotes |
---|
1616 | the nonlinear transfer by resonant four-wave interactions; while the third term $S_{diss}$ |

1617 | describes the dissipation of waves by processes such as white-capping, large scale breaking |

---|
1644 | |
---|
1645 | \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. |
---|
1646 | %Unfortunately high frequency forcing fields are rare, not to say inexistent. GS: not true anymore ! |
---|
1647 | Nevertheless, 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}. |
---|
1648 | Furthermore, only the knowledge of daily mean value of SWF is needed, |
---|
1649 | as higher frequency variations can be reconstructed from them, |
---|
1650 | assuming that the diurnal cycle of SWF is a scaling of the top of the atmosphere diurnal cycle of incident SWF. |
---|
1651 | The \cite{bernie.guilyardi.ea_CD07} reconstruction algorithm is available in \NEMO\ by |
---|
1652 | setting \np[=.true.]{ln_dm2dc}{ln\_dm2dc} (a \textit{\nam{sbc}{sbc}} namelist variable) when |
---|
1653 | using a bulk formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}) or |
---|
1654 | the flux formulation (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}). |
---|
1655 | The reconstruction is performed in the \mdl{sbcdcy} module. |
---|
1656 | The detail of the algoritm used can be found in the appendix~A of \cite{bernie.guilyardi.ea_CD07}. |
---|
1657 | The algorithm preserves the daily mean incoming SWF as the reconstructed SWF at |
---|
1658 | a given time step is the mean value of the analytical cycle over this time step (\autoref{fig:SBC_diurnal}). |
---|
1659 | The use of diurnal cycle reconstruction requires the input SWF to be daily |
---|
1660 | (\ie\ a frequency of 24 hours and a time interpolation set to true in \np{sn_qsr}{sn\_qsr} namelist parameter). |
---|
1661 | Furthermore, it is recommended to have a least 8 surface module time steps per day, |
---|
1662 | that is $\rdt \ nn\_fsbc < 10,800~s = 3~h$. |

1683 | |

1684 | When using a flux (\np[=.true.]{ln_flx}{ln\_flx}) or bulk (\np[=.true.]{ln_blk}{ln\_blk}) formulation, |
---|
1685 | pairs of vector components can be rotated from east-north directions onto the local grid directions. |
---|
1686 | This is particularly useful when interpolation on the fly is used since here any vectors are likely to |
---|
1687 | be defined relative to a rectilinear grid. |
---|
1688 | To activate this option, a non-empty string is supplied in the rotation pair column of the relevant namelist. |
---|
1689 | The eastward component must start with "U" and the northward component with "V". |
---|
1690 | The remaining characters in the strings are used to identify which pair of components go together. |
---|
1691 | So for example, strings "U1" and "V1" next to "utau" and "vtau" would pair the wind stress components together and |
---|
1692 | rotate them on to the model grid directions; |
---|
1693 | "U2" and "V2" could be used against a second pair of components, and so on. |
---|
1694 | The extra characters used in the strings are arbitrary. |

1710 | \[ |

1711 | % \label{eq:SBC_dmp_q} |

1712 | Q_{ns} = Q_{ns}^o + \frac{dQ}{dT} \left( \left. T \right|_{k=1} - SST_{Obs} \right) |
---|
1713 | \] |
---|
1714 | where SST is a sea surface temperature field (observed or climatological), |
---|
1715 | $T$ is the model surface layer temperature and |
---|
1716 | $\frac{dQ}{dT}$ is a negative feedback coefficient usually taken equal to $-40~W/m^2/K$. |
---|
1717 | For a $50~m$ mixed-layer depth, this value corresponds to a relaxation time scale of two months. |
---|
1718 | This term ensures that if $T$ perfectly matches the supplied SST, then $Q$ is equal to $Q_o$. |
---|
1719 | |

1720 | In the fresh water budget, a feedback term can also be added. |

1721 | Converted into an equivalent freshwater flux, it takes the following expression : |

---|
1727 | \end{equation} |
---|
1728 | |
---|
1729 | where $\textit{emp}_{o }$ is a net surface fresh water flux |
---|
1730 | (observed, climatological or an atmospheric model product), |
---|
1731 | \textit{SSS}$_{Obs}$ is a sea surface salinity |
---|
1732 | (usually a time interpolation of the monthly mean Polar Hydrographic Climatology \citep{steele.morley.ea_JC01}), |
---|
1733 | $\left.S\right|_{k=1}$ is the model surface layer salinity and |
---|
1734 | $\gamma_s$ is a negative feedback coefficient which is provided as a namelist parameter. |
---|
1735 | Unlike heat flux, there is no physical justification for the feedback term in \autoref{eq:SBC_dmp_emp} as |
---|
1736 | the atmosphere does not care about ocean surface salinity \citep{madec.delecluse_IWN97}. |
---|
1737 | The SSS restoring term should be viewed as a flux correction on freshwater fluxes to |

1743 | |

1744 | The presence at the sea surface of an ice covered area modifies all the fluxes transmitted to the ocean. |

1745 | There are several way to handle sea-ice in the system depending on |
---|
1746 | the value of the \np{nn_ice}{nn\_ice} namelist parameter found in \nam{sbc}{sbc} namelist. |
---|
1747 | \begin{description} |
---|
1748 | \item [nn\_ice = 0] there will never be sea-ice in the computational domain. |
---|
1749 | This is a typical namelist value used for tropical ocean domain. |
---|
1750 | The surface fluxes are simply specified for an ice-free ocean. |
---|
1751 | No specific things is done for sea-ice. |
---|
1752 | \item [nn\_ice = 1] sea-ice can exist in the computational domain, but no sea-ice model is used. |
---|
1753 | An observed ice covered area is read in a file. |
---|
1754 | Below this area, the SST is restored to the freezing point and |
---|
1755 | the heat fluxes are set to $-4~W/m^2$ ($-2~W/m^2$) in the northern (southern) hemisphere. |
---|
1756 | The associated modification of the freshwater fluxes are done in such a way that |
---|
1757 | the change in buoyancy fluxes remains zero. |
---|
1758 | This prevents deep convection to occur when trying to reach the freezing point |
---|
1759 | (and so ice covered area condition) while the SSS is too large. |
---|
1760 | This manner of managing sea-ice area, just by using a IF case, |
---|
1761 | is usually referred as the \textit{ice-if} model. |
---|
1762 | It can be found in the \mdl{sbcice\_if} module. |
---|
1763 | \item [nn\_ice = 2 or more] A full sea ice model is used. |
---|
1764 | This model computes the ice-ocean fluxes, |
---|
1765 | that are combined with the air-sea fluxes using the ice fraction of each model cell to |
---|
1766 | provide the surface averaged ocean fluxes. |
---|
1767 | Note that the activation of a sea-ice model is done by defining a CPP key (\key{si3} or \key{cice}). |

1768 | The activation automatically overwrites the read value of nn\_ice to its appropriate value |

---|
1789 | (with \textit{calc\_strair}\forcode{=.false.} and \textit{calc\_Tsfc}\forcode{=false}). |
---|
1790 | The code is intended to be used with \np{nn_fsbc}{nn\_fsbc} set to 1 |
---|
1791 | (although coupling ocean and ice less frequently should work, |
---|
1792 | it is possible the calculation of some of the ocean-ice fluxes needs to be modified slightly - |
---|
1793 | the user should check that results are not significantly different to the standard case). |
---|
1794 | |
---|
1795 | There are two options for the technical coupling between \NEMO\ and CICE. |

1796 | The standard version allows complete flexibility for the domain decompositions in the individual models, |

1797 | but this is at the expense of global gather and scatter operations in the coupling which |

1799 | The alternative option (using \key{nemocice\_decomp} for both \NEMO\ and CICE) ensures that |

1800 | the domain decomposition is identical in both models (provided domain parameters are set appropriately, |
---|
1801 | and \textit{processor\_shape~=~square-ice} and \textit{distribution\_wght~=~block} in the CICE name-list) and |
---|
1802 | allows much more efficient direct coupling on individual processors. |
---|

---|
1818 | %GS: comment below still relevant ? |
---|
1819 | %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). |

1830 | % We thus need to prescribe some form of global normalization to the precipitation minus evaporation plus river runoff. |
---|
1831 | % The result of the normalization should be a global integrated zero net water input to the ocean-ice system over |
---|
1832 | % a chosen time scale. |
---|
1833 | % How often the normalization is done is a matter of choice. In mom4p1, we choose to do so at each model time step, |
---|
1834 | % so that there is always a zero net input of water to the ocean-ice system. |
---|
1835 | % Others choose to normalize over an annual cycle, in which case the net imbalance over an annual cycle is used |
---|
1836 | % to alter the subsequent year�s water budget in an attempt to damp the annual water imbalance. |
---|
1837 | % Note that the annual budget approach may be inappropriate with interannually varying precipitation forcing. |
---|
1838 | % When running ocean-ice coupled models, it is incorrect to include the water transport between the ocean |
---|
1839 | % and ice models when aiming to balance the hydrological cycle. |
---|
1840 | % 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, |
---|
1841 | % not the water in any one sub-component. As an extreme example to illustrate the issue, |
---|
1842 | % consider an ocean-ice model with zero initial sea ice. As the ocean-ice model spins up, |
---|
1843 | % there should be a net accumulation of water in the growing sea ice, and thus a net loss of water from the ocean. |
---|
1844 | % The total water contained in the ocean plus ice system is constant, but there is an exchange of water between |
---|
1845 | % the subcomponents. This exchange should not be part of the normalization used to balance the hydrological cycle |
---|
1846 | % in ocean-ice models. |
