The scripts in this directory are for adding tidal boundary condition |

|
|
to a regional configuration of MITgcm. |

The scripts are tested for Pine Island Model |

|
|
and also for verification/seaice_obcs using specified tidal boundary file. |

Steps to add tide boundary conditions to regional MITgcm |

0) Download the Circum-Antarctic Tide (CATS) Solution (Padman et al. 2002) |

1.1 |
from Earth and Space Research, http://www.esr.org. |
10 |
|
|
Modify CAT directory in test_tide_bc.m |
11 |
|
|
|
12 |
|
|
1) use create_bc_grid.m (test_bc_grid.m) to generate bc grid files. |
13 |
|
|
create_bc_grid.m will generate files with names like |
14 |
|
|
bdry_grid_[snwe].mat for south, north, west, and east boundary. |
15 |
|
|
This script needs a directory path for MITgcm domain related files, |
16 |
|
|
especially YC.data, XC.data, hFacC.data, AngleCS.data, AngleSN.data. |
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
dimitri |

2) use test_tide_bc.m to generate tidal bc files which calls |
19 |
|
|
create_tide_bc_4bdry.m |
20 |
|
|
or dummy tidal bc files (zero amplitde and phase) for land boundary |
21 |
dimitri |
1.1 |
if there is such a need. |
22 |
|
|
|
23 |
dimitri |
1.2 |
create_tide_bc_second.m will generate tidal bounday files with names |
24 |
|
|
like OB[SNWE]{am ph}.seaice_obcs. |
25 |
|
|
The tidal current and phase will be used in obcs_add_tides.F. |
26 |
|
|
|
27 |
|
|
3) Modify MITgcm configuration |
28 |
|
|
3.1) ALLOW_OBCS_TIDES in OBCS_OPTIONS.h |
29 |
|
|
3.2) OBCS_PARAMS.h (tidalComponents = ??, number of tidal constituent to be included.) |
30 |
|
|
3.3) data.obcs as following |
31 |
|
|
The number of tidal constituents to be included and their period and |
32 |
|
|
order should be consistent with their order in tidal current amplitude |
33 |
|
|
and phase files, OB?amFile and OB?phFile. |
34 |
|
|
useOBCStides = .TRUE. |
