Summary

Action More realistic air-ice/snow turbulent flux estimates over sea-ice
PI(S) Laurent Brodeau @ Ocean Next
Digest Implementation of a bulk-transfer-coefficient parameterization for sea-ice-covered regions. This parameterization should consider sea-ice roughness and be able to handle extremely stable surface atmospheric layer conditions typical of sea-ice-covered regions.

Description

The work accomplished can be separated in two parts:

  • Further development of the general SBCBKK interface (introduction of proper bulk parameterizations for ice-air exchanges, new air-sea bulk parameterizations + general improvements and simplifications)
  • Further development of the STATION_ASF test-case (boolean sanity-check of the SBCBLK interface and sea-ice support "key_si3")

Test-case associated with this development:

  • Test case functionality: test-case STATION_ASF checks that all bulk algorithms available in NEMO, used to estimate the bulk transfer coefficients for turbulent air-sea and air-ice fluxes, are working properly. This is done by checking that all turbulent fluxes computed at the punctual location of STATION_ASF lie within a reasonable range.
  • Test case setup: in STATION_ASF nemo.exe runs on one processor and needs only 2 lightweight netCDF files as input. These 2 files provide hourly time-series of sea-surface variables (SST, SSH), and surface atmospheric state (wind, temperature, humidity and downwelling radiative fluxes), respectively, at the punctual location of STATION_ASF. 1 year of simulation with STATION_ASF takes a few tens of seconds on 1 proc.
  • Test case verification value: WILL BE boolean. Each computed turbulent flux (hourly time-series), namely evaporation, wind stress and sensible flux, will be checked for consistency during a whole year. This operation will be carried out with every bulk (air-sea and air-ice) parameterization algorithms available in NEMO, including the testing of different options: cool-skin/warm-layer and wave-pattern input).
  • Status of the test case as for now: Exists on the official GitHub? for NEMO. Boolean output not ready yet, version for air-ice fluxes in progress.
