Vertical scale factor interpolation with key_vvl

Reported by: jchanut Owned by: greffray
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: DOM Version: trunk
Severity: minor Keywords: VVL scale vertical
Cc: greffray

Description

Context

With time varying vertical coordinate (e.g. z-s star or tilde), it seems that the horizontal interpolation of vertical scale factors is wrong. Attached an example of top interface anomaly at velocity points (on expect something like the sea level anomaly) defined as the vertical sum of scale factors minus total depth at rest.

Analysis

Gurvan's aware.

Fix

One should at least ensure that top interface matches sea-level anomaly at u and v points.
Correct definition ot the bottom most interface is more tricky across steps.

#1791: add namelist parameter nn_vvl_interp to control how scale factors are set at U-V-F points. nn_vvl_interp=0 is the old interpolation scheme that do not account for steps. nn_vvl_interp=1, corrects the bottom thicknesses, but does not ensure that they get too small for stability. nn_vvl_interp=2 is a "qco like" formulation, for which scale factors anomalies are set proportional to the scale factors at rest. Set nn_vvl_interp=2 as the default.

#1791, correct bottom scale factors interpolation at U/V/F points with non-linear free surface

15471jchanut2021-11-04T17:28:56+01:00

#1791: correct thicknesses at last level with vvl. This ensures total depth is correct (eg matches depth at rest + sea level anomaly) which may otherwise induce unstabilities, and unconsistencies with external mode. The correction is active over steps (no change with purely s-coordinates or in between two adjacent z-levels with partial cells). Contrary to qco formulation, the vvl scheme can lead to negative thicknesses at velocity points, even if total depth at T-points is positive. This is a rare case which is not taken into account in this correction.

#1791, report domvvl change in VORTEX test case. Modification of domvvl there should be removed.

vvl interp, #1791: 1) Add resting depth at F-points. 2) Rewrite dom_vvl_interpol with 2 aditionnal methods for horizontal interpolation at U-V-F points (nmet=0,1,2 in subroutine header). Set nmet=1, i.e. interpolate interfaces instead of scale factors anomaly. 3) Changes in the rest of the code: consider input array in dom_vvl_interpol at T point for F scale factors interpolation.

Use of key_qco fixes the problem. Should become the default.
