This example experiment demonstrates using the MITgcm to simulate |
| 32 |
|
|
the planetary ocean circulation. The simulation is configured |
| 33 |
|
|
with realistic geography and bathymetry on a |
| 34 |
|
|
$4^{\circ} \times 4^{\circ}$ spherical polar grid. |

Twenty levels are used in the vertical, ranging in thickness |
| 38 |
|
|
from $50\,{\rm m}$ at the surface to $815\,{\rm m}$ at depth, |
| 39 |
|
|
giving a maximum model depth of $6\,{\rm km}$. |

At this resolution, the configuration |

The model is forced with climatological wind stress data and surface |
| 48 |
|
|
flux data from DaSilva \cite{DaSilva94}. Climatological data |
| 49 |
|
|
from Levitus \cite{Levitus94} is used to initialize the model hydrography. |
| 50 |
|
|
Levitus seasonal climatology data is also used throughout the calculation |
| 51 |
adcroft |
1.1 |
to provide additional air-sea fluxes. |
| 52 |
cnh |
1.3 |
These fluxes are combined with the DaSilva climatological estimates of |
| 53 |
adcroft |
1.1 |
surface heat flux and fresh water, resulting in a mixed boundary |
| 54 |
cnh |
1.3 |
condition of the style described in Haney \cite{Haney}. |

Altogether, this yields the following forcing applied |

in the model surface layer. |

The term $\Delta z_{s}$ represents the top ocean layer thickness in |

It is used in conjunction with a reference density, $\rho_{0}$ |

| 83 |
|
|
reference salinity, $S_{0}$ (here set to 35~ppt), |

|
|
and a specific heat capacity, $C_{p}$ (here set to |
| 85 |
|
|
$4000~{\rm J}~^{\circ}{\rm C}^{-1}~{\rm kg}^{-1}$), to convert |
| 86 |

input dataset values into time tendencies of |

potential temperature (with units of $^{\circ}{\rm C}~{\rm s}^{-1}$), |

salinity (with units ${\rm ppt}~s^{-1}$) and |

The externally supplied forcing fields used in this |

experiment are $\tau_{x}$, $\tau_{y}$, $\theta^{\ast}$, $S^{\ast}$, |

$\cal{Q}$ and $\cal{E}-\cal{P}-\cal{R}$. The wind stress fields ($\tau_x$, $\tau_y$) |

have units of ${\rm N}~{\rm m}^{-2}$. The temperature forcing fields |
| 94 |
|
|
($\theta^{\ast}$ and $Q$) have units of $^{\circ}{\rm C}$ and ${\rm W}~{\rm m}^{-2}$ |

respectively. The salinity forcing fields ($S^{\ast}$ and |

$\cal{E}-\cal{P}-\cal{R}$) have units of ${\rm ppt}$ and ${\rm m}~{\rm s}^{-1}$ |

The implicit free surface form of the pressure equation described in Marshall et. al |

\cite{marshall:97a} is employed. A Laplacian operator, $\nabla^2$, provides viscous |

The Laplacian dissipation coefficient, $A_{h}$, is set to $5 \times 10^5 m s^{-1}$. |
| 224 |
adcroft |
1.4 |
This value is chosen to yield a Munk layer width \cite{adcroft:95}, |

adcroft |
1.1 |
\end{eqnarray} |
| 229 |
|
|
|
| 230 |
|
|
\noindent of $\approx 600$km. This is greater than the model |
| 231 |
|
|
resolution in low-latitudes, $\Delta x \approx 400{\rm km}$, ensuring that the frictional |
| 232 |
|
|
boundary layer is adequately resolved. |
| 233 |
|
|
\\ |
| 234 |
|
|
|
| 235 |
|
|
\noindent The model is stepped forward with a |
| 236 |
|
|
time step $\delta t_{\theta}=30~{\rm hours}$ for thermodynamic variables and |
| 237 |
|
|
$\delta t_{v}=40~{\rm minutes}$ for momentum terms. With this time step, the stability |
| 238 |
adcroft |
1.4 |
parameter to the horizontal Laplacian friction \cite{adcroft:95} |
| 239 |
adcroft |
1.1 |
\begin{eqnarray} |

adcroft |
1.1 |
\end{eqnarray} |
| 243 |
|
|
|
| 244 |
|
|
\noindent evaluates to 0.16 at a latitude of $\phi=80^{\circ}$, which is below the |
| 245 |
|
|
0.3 upper limit for stability. The zonal grid spacing $\Delta x$ is smallest at |
| 246 |
|
|
$\phi=80^{\circ}$ where $\Delta x=r\cos(\phi)\Delta \phi\approx 77{\rm km}$. |
| 247 |
|
|
\\ |
| 248 |
|
|
|
| 249 |
|
|
\noindent The vertical dissipation coefficient, $A_{z}$, is set to |
| 250 |
|
|
$1\times10^{-3} {\rm m}^2{\rm s}^{-1}$. The associated stability limit |
| 251 |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray} |
| 252 |

1.19 |
\label{eq:eg-global-laplacian_stability_z} |

S_{l} = 4 \frac{A_{z} \delta t_{v}}{{\Delta z}^2} |
| 254 |
|
|
\end{eqnarray} |
| 255 |
|
|
|

|
\noindent evaluates to $0.015$ for the smallest model |
| 257 |
cnh |
1.3 |
level spacing ($\Delta z_{1}=50{\rm m}$) which is again well below |
| 258 |
adcroft |
1.1 |
the upper stability limit. |
| 259 |
|
|
\\ |
| 260 |
|
|
|
| 261 |
|
|
The values of the horizontal ($K_{h}$) and vertical ($K_{z}$) diffusion coefficients |
| 262 |
|
|
for both temperature and salinity are set to $1 \times 10^{3}~{\rm m}^{2}{\rm s}^{-1}$ |
| 263 |
|
|
and $3 \times 10^{-5}~{\rm m}^{2}{\rm s}^{-1}$ respectively. The stability limit |
| 264 |
|
|
related to $K_{h}$ will be at $\phi=80^{\circ}$ where $\Delta x \approx 77 {\rm km}$. |
| 265 |
|
|
Here the stability parameter |
| 266 |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray} |

cnh |
1.3 |
evaluates to $0.07$, well below the stability limit of $S_{l} \approx 0.5$. The |

1.1 |
stability parameter related to $K_{z}$ |
| 272 |
