\subsubsection{Fizhi Diagnostic Description} |
| 1428 |
|
|
| 1429 |
|
In this section we list and describe the diagnostic quantities available within the |
| 1430 |
|
GCM. The diagnostics are listed in the order that they appear in the |
| 1431 |
|
Diagnostic Menu, Section \ref{sec:fizhi-diagnostics:menu}. |
| 1432 |
|
In all cases, each diagnostic as currently archived on the output datasets |
| 1433 |
|
is time-averaged over its diagnostic output frequency: |
| 1434 |
|
|
| 1435 |
|
\[ |
| 1436 |
|
{\bf DIAGNOSTIC} = {1 \over TTOT} \sum_{t=1}^{t=TTOT} diag(t) |
| 1437 |
|
\] |
| 1438 |
|
where $TTOT = {{\bf NQDIAG} \over \Delta t}$, {\bf NQDIAG} is the |
| 1439 |
|
output frequency of the diagnostic, and $\Delta t$ is |
| 1440 |
|
the timestep over which the diagnostic is updated. |
| 1441 |
|
|
| 1442 |
|
{ \underline {UFLUX} Surface Zonal Wind Stress on the Atmosphere ($Newton/m^2$) } |
| 1443 |
|
|
| 1444 |
|
The zonal wind stress is the turbulent flux of zonal momentum from |
| 1445 |
|
the surface. |
| 1446 |
|
\[ |
| 1447 |
|
{\bf UFLUX} = - \rho C_D W_s u \hspace{1cm}where: \hspace{.2cm}C_D = C^2_u |
| 1448 |
|
\] |
| 1449 |
|
where $\rho$ = the atmospheric density at the surface, $C_{D}$ is the surface |
| 1450 |
|
drag coefficient, $C_u$ is the dimensionless surface exchange coefficient for momentum |
| 1451 |
|
(see diagnostic number 10), $W_s$ is the magnitude of the surface layer wind, and $u$ is |
| 1452 |
|
the zonal wind in the lowest model layer. |
| 1453 |
|
\\ |
| 1454 |
|
|
| 1455 |
|
|
| 1456 |
|
{ \underline {VFLUX} Surface Meridional Wind Stress on the Atmosphere ($Newton/m^2$) } |
| 1457 |
|
|
| 1458 |
|
The meridional wind stress is the turbulent flux of meridional momentum from |
| 1459 |
|
the surface. |
| 1460 |
|
\[ |
| 1461 |
|
{\bf VFLUX} = - \rho C_D W_s v \hspace{1cm}where: \hspace{.2cm}C_D = C^2_u |
| 1462 |
|
\] |
| 1463 |
|
where $\rho$ = the atmospheric density at the surface, $C_{D}$ is the surface |
| 1464 |
|
drag coefficient, $C_u$ is the dimensionless surface exchange coefficient for momentum |
| 1465 |
|
(see diagnostic number 10), $W_s$ is the magnitude of the surface layer wind, and $v$ is |
| 1466 |
|
the meridional wind in the lowest model layer. |
| 1467 |
|
\\ |
| 1468 |
|
|
| 1469 |
|
{ \underline {HFLUX} Surface Flux of Sensible Heat ($Watts/m^2$) } |
| 1470 |
|
|
| 1471 |
|
The turbulent flux of sensible heat from the surface to the atmosphere is a function of the |
| 1472 |
|
gradient of virtual potential temperature and the eddy exchange coefficient: |
| 1473 |
|
\[ |
| 1474 |
|
{\bf HFLUX} = P^{\kappa}\rho c_{p} C_{H} W_s (\theta_{surface} - \theta_{Nrphys}) |
| 1475 |
|
\hspace{1cm}where: \hspace{.2cm}C_H = C_u C_t |
| 1476 |
|
\] |
| 1477 |
|
where $\rho$ = the atmospheric density at the surface, $c_{p}$ is the specific |
| 1478 |
|
heat of air, $C_{H}$ is the dimensionless surface heat transfer coefficient, $W_s$ is the |
| 1479 |
|
magnitude of the surface layer wind, $C_u$ is the dimensionless surface exchange coefficient |
| 1480 |
|
for momentum (see diagnostic number 10), $C_t$ is the dimensionless surface exchange coefficient |
| 1481 |
|
for heat and moisture (see diagnostic number 9), and $\theta$ is the potential temperature |
| 1482 |
|
at the surface and at the bottom model level. |
| 1483 |
|
\\ |
| 1484 |
|
|
| 1485 |
|
|
| 1486 |
|
{ \underline {EFLUX} Surface Flux of Latent Heat ($Watts/m^2$) } |
| 1487 |
|
|
| 1488 |
|
The turbulent flux of latent heat from the surface to the atmosphere is a function of the |
| 1489 |
|
gradient of moisture, the potential evapotranspiration fraction and the eddy exchange coefficient: |
| 1490 |
|
\[ |
| 1491 |
|
{\bf EFLUX} = \rho \beta L C_{H} W_s (q_{surface} - q_{Nrphys}) |
| 1492 |
|
\hspace{1cm}where: \hspace{.2cm}C_H = C_u C_t |
| 1493 |
|
\] |
| 1494 |
|
where $\rho$ = the atmospheric density at the surface, $\beta$ is the fraction of |
| 1495 |
|
the potential evapotranspiration actually evaporated, L is the latent |
| 1496 |
|
heat of evaporation, $C_{H}$ is the dimensionless surface heat transfer coefficient, $W_s$ is the |
| 1497 |
|
magnitude of the surface layer wind, $C_u$ is the dimensionless surface exchange coefficient |
| 1498 |
|
for momentum (see diagnostic number 10), $C_t$ is the dimensionless surface exchange coefficient |
| 1499 |
|
for heat and moisture (see diagnostic number 9), and $q_{surface}$ and $q_{Nrphys}$ are the specific |
| 1500 |
|
humidity at the surface and at the bottom model level, respectively. |
| 1501 |
|
\\ |
| 1502 |
|
|
| 1503 |
|
{ \underline {QICE} Heat Conduction Through Sea Ice ($Watts/m^2$) } |
| 1504 |
|
|
| 1505 |
|
Over sea ice there is an additional source of energy at the surface due to the heat |
| 1506 |
|
conduction from the relatively warm ocean through the sea ice. The heat conduction |
| 1507 |
|
through sea ice represents an additional energy source term for the ground temperature equation. |
| 1508 |
|
|
| 1509 |
|
\[ |
| 1510 |
|
{\bf QICE} = {C_{ti} \over {H_i}} (T_i-T_g) |
| 1511 |
|
\] |
| 1512 |
|
|
| 1513 |
|
where $C_{ti}$ is the thermal conductivity of ice, $H_i$ is the ice thickness, assumed to |
| 1514 |
|
be $3 \hspace{.1cm} m$ where sea ice is present, $T_i$ is 273 degrees Kelvin, and |
| 1515 |
|
$T_g$ is the temperature of the sea ice. |
| 1516 |
|
|
| 1517 |
|
NOTE: QICE is not available through model version 5.3, but is available in subsequent versions. |

$F_{LW}^\uparrow$ is |

the upward Longwave flux and $F_{LW}^\downarrow$ is the downward Longwave flux. |

| 1538 |
|
\end{eqnarray*} |
| 1539 |
|
\\ |
| 1540 |
|
where Nrphys+1 indicates the lowest model edge-level, or $p = p_{surf}$. |
| 1541 |
|
$F_{SW}^\downarrow$ is |
| 1542 |
|
the downward Shortwave flux and $F_{SW}^\uparrow$ is the upward Shortwave flux. |

{ \underline {RI} Richardson Number} ($dimensionless$) |
| 1548 |
|
|
| 1549 |
|
\noindent |
| 1550 |
|
The non-dimensional stability indicator is the ratio of the buoyancy to the shear: |
| 1551 |
|
\[ |
| 1552 |
|
{\bf RI} = { { {g \over \theta_v} \pp {\theta_v}{z} } \over { (\pp{u}{z})^2 + (\pp{v}{z})^2 } } |
| 1553 |
|
= { {c_p \pp{\theta_v}{z} \pp{P^ \kappa}{z} } \over { (\pp{u}{z})^2 + (\pp{v}{z})^2 } } |
| 1554 |
|
\] |
| 1555 |
|
\\ |
| 1556 |
|
where we used the hydrostatic equation: |
| 1557 |
|
\[ |
| 1558 |
|
{\pp{\Phi}{P^ \kappa}} = c_p \theta_v |
| 1559 |
|
\] |
| 1560 |
|
Negative values indicate unstable buoyancy {\bf{AND}} shear, small positive values ($<0.4$) |
| 1561 |
|
indicate dominantly unstable shear, and large positive values indicate dominantly stable |
| 1562 |
|
stratification. |

{ \underline {CT} Surface Exchange Coefficient for Temperature and Moisture ($dimensionless$) } |
| 1567 |
|
|
| 1568 |
|
\noindent |
| 1569 |
|
The surface exchange coefficient is obtained from the similarity functions for the stability |
| 1570 |
|
dependant flux profile relationships: |
| 1571 |
|
\[ |
| 1572 |
|
{\bf CT} = -{( {\overline{w^{\prime}\theta^{\prime}}}) \over {u_* \Delta \theta }} = |
| 1573 |
|
-{( {\overline{w^{\prime}q^{\prime}}}) \over {u_* \Delta q }} = |
| 1574 |
|
{ k \over { (\psi_{h} + \psi_{g}) } } |
| 1575 |
|
\] |
| 1576 |
|
where $\psi_h$ is the surface layer non-dimensional temperature change and $\psi_g$ is the |
| 1577 |
|
viscous sublayer non-dimensional temperature or moisture change: |
| 1578 |
|
\[ |

For a given cloud fraction, |

the clear line-of-sight probability $C(p,p^{\prime})$ is computed from the current level pressure $p$ |

The clear-sky and cloudy-sky shortwave fluxes are calculated separately. |

The shortwave routine is then called a second time, for the cloudy-sky case, with the |

Both the clear-sky and cloudy-sky longwave fluxes are computed within the |

The subroutine calculates the clear-sky flux, $F^{clearsky}_{LW}$, first. |

For a given cloud fraction, |

the clear line-of-sight probability $C(p,p^{\prime})$ is computed from the current level pressure $p$ |
| 2208 |

to the model top pressure, $p^{\prime} = p_{top}$, and the model surface pressure, $p^{\prime} = p_{surf}$, |

(see Section \ref{sec:fizhi:radcloud}). |

If we define the |

with random overlapped clouds at any level is (1-CLRO) while the probability of |
| 2781 |
|
clear sky associated with maximum overlapped clouds at any level is (1-CLMO). |
| 2782 |
|
The total clear sky probability is given by (1-CLRO)*(1-CLMO), thus |

the total cloud fraction at each level may be obtained by |

|
1-(1-CLRO)*(1-CLMO). |

At any given level, we may define the clear line-of-site probability by |

|
appropriately accounting for the maximum and random overlap |

cloudiness. The clear line-of-site probability is defined to be |

from the current pressure $p$ |
| 2793 |
|
to the model top pressure, $p^{\prime} = p_{top}$, or the model surface pressure, $p^{\prime} = p_{surf}$, |

is simply 1.0 minus the largest maximum overlap cloud value along the |

line-of-site probability associated with random overlap clouds is |

{ \underline {QFILL} Filling of negative Specific Humidity ($g/kg/day$) } |
| 3011 |
|
|
| 3012 |
|
\noindent |
| 3013 |
|
Due to computational errors associated with the numerical scheme used for |
| 3014 |
|
the advection of moisture, negative values of specific humidity may be generated. The |
| 3015 |
|
specific humidity is checked for negative values after every dynamics timestep. If negative |
| 3016 |
|
values have been produced, a filling algorithm is invoked which redistributes moisture from |
| 3017 |
|
below. Diagnostic {\bf QFILL} is equal to the net filling needed |
| 3018 |
|
to eliminate negative specific humidity, scaled to a per-day rate: |
| 3019 |
|
\[ |
| 3020 |
|
{\bf QFILL} = q^{n+1}_{final} - q^{n+1}_{initial} |
| 3021 |
|
\] |
| 3022 |
|
where |
| 3023 |
|
\[ |
| 3024 |
|
q^{n+1} = (\pi q)^{n+1} / \pi^{n+1} |
