|
The model is forced with climatological wind stress data and surface |
|
|
flux data from DaSilva \cite{DaSilva94}. Climatological data |
|
|
from Levitus \cite{Levitus94} is used to initialize the model hydrography. |
|
|
Levitus seasonal climatology data is also used throughout the calculation |
|
|
to provide additional air-sea fluxes. |
|
|
These fluxes are combined with the DaSilva climatological estimates of |
|
|
surface heat flux and fresh water, resulting in a mixed boundary |
|
|
condition of the style described in Haney \cite{Haney}. |
|
|
Altogether, this yields the following forcing applied |
|
|
in the model surface layer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\noindent where ${\cal F}_{u}$, ${\cal F}_{v}$, ${\cal F}_{\theta}$, |
|
|
${\cal F}_{s}$ are the forcing terms in the zonal and meridional |
|
|
momentum and in the potential temperature and salinity |
|
|
equations respectively. |
|
|
The term $\Delta z_{s}$ represents the top ocean layer thickness in |
|
|
meters. |
|
|
It is used in conjunction with a reference density, $\rho_{0}$ |
|
|
(here set to $999.8\,{\rm kg\,m^{-3}}$), a |
|
|
reference salinity, $S_{0}$ (here set to 35~ppt), |
|
|
and a specific heat capacity, $C_{p}$ (here set to |
|
|
$4000~{\rm J}~^{\circ}{\rm C}^{-1}~{\rm kg}^{-1}$), to convert |
|
|
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 |
|
|
velocity (with units ${\rm m}~{\rm s}^{-2}$). |
|
|
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 |
|
|
($\theta^{\ast}$ 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 ${\rm m}~{\rm s}^{-1}$ |
|
|
respectively. |

Figures (\ref{FIG:sim_config_tclim}-\ref{FIG:sim_config_empmr}) show the |
|
|
relaxation temperature ($\theta^{\ast}$) and salinity ($S^{\ast}$) fields, |

the wind stress components ($\tau_x$ and $\tau_y$), the heat flux ($Q$) |

and the net fresh water flux (${\cal E} - {\cal P} - {\cal R}$) used |
|
