The scripts in this directory are for adding tidal boundary condition |
2 |
|
|
to a regional configuration of MITgcm. |

|
|
|

|
|
The scripts are tested for Pine Island Model |

Steps to add tide boundary conditions to regional MITgcm |
7 |
|
|
0) Download the Circum-Antarctic Tide (CAT) Solution (Padman et al. 2002) |
8 |
|
|
from Earth and Space Research, http://www.esr.org. |
9 |
|
|
Modify CAT directory in test_tide_bc.m |
10 |
|
|
|
11 |
|
|
1) use create_bc_grid.m (test_bc_grid.m) to generate bc grid files. |
12 |
|
|
create_bc_grid.m will generate files with names like |
13 |
|
|
bdry_grid_[snwe].mat for south, north, west, and east boundary. |
14 |
|
|
This script needs a directory path for MITgcm domain related files, |
15 |
|
|
especially YC.data, XC.data, hFacC.data, AngleCS.data, AngleSN.data. |
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
2) use create_tide_bc_4bdry.m to generate tidal bc files (test_tide_bc.m) |
18 |
|
|
Or dummy tidal bc files (zero amplitde and phase) for land boundary |
19 |
|
|
if there is such a need. |
20 |
|
|
|
21 |
|
|
create_tide_bc_4bdary.m will generate tidal bounday files with names |
22 |
|
|
like OB[SNWE]{am ph}.seaice_obcs and a time constant in seconds |
23 |
|
|
which will be used in obcs_add_tides.F |
24 |
|
|
The obcs_add_tides.F is included in this directory to explain how |
25 |
|
|
timec is used. This part (using timec) will be changed in future. |
26 |
|
|
|
27 |
|
|
3) Modify data.obcs as following |
28 |
|
|
The number of tidal constituents to be included and their order |
29 |
|
|
should be consistent for tidal periods and tidal current amplitude and |
30 |
|
|
phase files, OB?amFile and OB?phFile. |
31 |
|
|
useOBCStides = .TRUE. |
32 |
|
|
tidalperiod = ... |
33 |
|
|
OBSamFile = ... |
34 |
|
|
OBNamFile = ... |
35 |
|
|
OBWamFile = ... |
36 |
|
|
OBEamFile = ... |
37 |
|
|
OBSphFile = ... |
38 |
|
|
OBNphFile = ... |
39 |
|
|
OBWphFile = ... |
40 |
|
|
OBEphFile = ... |
