Revision 1.2 - (hide annotations) (download)
Mon Mar 25 08:58:45 2013 UTC (12 years, 3 months ago) by dimitri
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.1: +22 -19 lines
Modifications by Xiaochun Wang so that tidal phase for obcs_add_tides.F
is specified in seconds.

1 dimitri 1.1 The scripts in this directory are for adding tidal boundary condition
2     to a regional configuration of MITgcm.
3    
4 dimitri 1.2 The scripts are tested for Pine Island Model
5     and also for verification/seaice_obcs using specified tidal boundary file.
6 dimitri 1.1
7     Steps to add tide boundary conditions to regional MITgcm
8 dimitri 1.2 0) Download the Circum-Antarctic Tide (CATS) Solution (Padman et al. 2002)
9 dimitri 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 1.2 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.
35 dimitri 1.1 tidalperiod = ...
36     OBSamFile = ...
37     OBNamFile = ...
38 dimitri 1.2 OBWamFile = ...
39     OBEamFile = ...
40 dimitri 1.1 OBSphFile = ...
41     OBNphFile = ...
42     OBWphFile = ...
43 dimitri 1.2 OBEphFile = ...
44 dimitri 1.1

47     CAT Reference

49     Antarctic ice shelves and seas, Ann. Glaciol., 34, 247-254.
