This example sets up a small (20x16x23) Labrador Sea experiment |
5 |
|
|
coupled to a dynamic thermodynamic sea-ice model. |

A brief description of the sea-ice model is in "seaice.ps". |

The domain of integration spans 280E to 320E and 46N to 78N. |
9 |
|
|
Horizontal grid spacing is 2 degrees. |

|
|
The 23 vertical levels and the bathymetry file |
11 |
|
|
bathyFile = 'bathy.labsea' |
12 |
|
|
are obtained from the the 2-degree ECCO configuration. |

|
Integration is initialized from annual-mean Levitus climatology |

|
|
hydrogThetaFile = 'LevCli_temp.labsea' |
16 |
|
|
hydrogSaltFile = 'LevCli_salt.labsea' |

Surface salinity relaxation is to the monthly mean Levitus climatology |

|
saltClimFile = 'SSS.labsea' |

Forcing files are a 1979-1999 monthly climatology computed from the |
22 |
|
|
NCEP reanalysis (see pkg/seaice/SEAICE_FFIELDS.h for units and signs) |

The experiment uses pkg/gmredi, pkg/kpp, pkg/seaice, and pkg/exf. |
32 |
|
|
The test is a 1-cpu, 10-hour integration. Both the atmospheric |
33 |
|
|
state and the open-water surface fluxes are provided by pkg/exf. |

Using testscript to test sea-ice code |
41 |
|
|
===================================== |
42 |
|
|
|
43 |
|
|
Running the testscript experiment: |
44 |
dimitri |
1.10 |
cd MITgcm/verification |
45 |
|
|
./testreport -t lab_sea |
46 |
dimitri |
1.12 |
|
47 |
|
|
To look at output using matlab: |
48 |
|
|
cd lab_sea/matlab |
49 |
|
|
matlab -nojvm -nosplash |

Note that fairly large differences in accuracy occur across different |
53 |
|
|
platforms. For example, testscript comparisons between g77 (Linux) |
54 |
|
|
and f77 (SGI) generated output gives: |
