adding Xiochun Wang's scripts for computing tidal forcing for regional
MITgcm configurations

1 dimitri 1.1 The scripts in this directory are for adding tidal boundary condition
2     to a regional configuration of MITgcm.
3    
4     The scripts are tested for Pine Island Model
5    
6     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 = ...

44     CAT Reference
45     Padman, L., H. A. Fricker, R. Coleman, S. Howard, and S. Erofeeva, 2002: A new tidal model for the
46     Antarctic ice shelves and seas, Ann. Glaciol., 34, 247-254.
