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

|
|
|

dimitri |
1.2 |
The scripts are tested for Pine Island Model |
| 5 |
|
|
and also for verification/seaice_obcs using specified tidal boundary file. |

Steps to add tide boundary conditions to regional MITgcm |

1.2 |
0) Download the Circum-Antarctic Tide (CATS) Solution (Padman et al. 2002) |
| 9 |
dimitri |
1.3 |
from Earth and Space Research, http://www.esr.org/~padman/cats2008b/ |
| 10 |
|
|
Modify CATS directory in test_tide_bc.m |
| 11 |
|
|
Download the TMD2.03 software for extracting the tidal solution from |
| 12 |
|
|
http://www.esr.org. |
| 13 |
|
|
Modifications are needed in the original /TMD2.03/tmd_extract_HC.m in order |
| 14 |
|
|
to have the correct path of tidal solution as shown in the sample_tmd_extract_HC.m. |

|
1) use create_bc_grid.m (called by test_bc_grid.m) to generate bc grid files. |
| 18 |
dimitri |
1.1 |
create_bc_grid.m will generate files with names like |
| 19 |
|
|
bdry_grid_[snwe].mat for south, north, west, and east boundary. |
| 20 |
|
|
This script needs a directory path for MITgcm domain related files, |
| 21 |
dimitri |
1.3 |
specifically YC.data, XC.data, hFacC.data, AngleCS.data, AngleSN.data. |
| 22 |
dimitri |
1.1 |
|
| 23 |
dimitri |
1.2 |
2) use test_tide_bc.m to generate tidal bc files which calls |
| 24 |
dimitri |
1.3 |
create_tide_bc_second.m |
| 25 |
|
|
or dummy tidal bc files (zero amplitude and phase, tide_bc_empty.m) |
| 26 |
|
|
for land boundary if there is such a need. |
| 27 |
dimitri |
1.1 |
|
| 28 |
dimitri |
1.3 |
create_tide_bc_second.m will generate tidal boundary files with names |
| 29 |
dimitri |
1.2 |
like OB[SNWE]{am ph}.seaice_obcs. |
| 30 |
|
|
The tidal current and phase will be used in obcs_add_tides.F. |
| 31 |
|
|
|
| 32 |
|
|
3) Modify MITgcm configuration |
| 33 |
|
|
3.1) ALLOW_OBCS_TIDES in OBCS_OPTIONS.h |
| 34 |
|
|
3.2) OBCS_PARAMS.h (tidalComponents = ??, number of tidal constituent to be included.) |
| 35 |
|
|
3.3) data.obcs as following |
| 36 |
|
|
The number of tidal constituents to be included and their period and |
| 37 |
|
|
order should be consistent with their order in tidal current amplitude |
| 38 |
|
|
and phase files, OB?amFile and OB?phFile. |
| 39 |
|
|
useOBCStides = .TRUE. |
