\section{Discretisation and code} |
|
|
|
|
|
This is the old documentation.....has to be brought upto date with MITgcm. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Gent-McWilliams-Redi parameterization is implemented through the |
|
|
package ``gmredi''. There are two necessary calls to ``gmredi'' |
|
|
routines other than initialization; 1) to calculate the slope tensor |
|
|
as a function of the current model state ({\bf gmredi\_calc\_tensor}) |
|
|
and 2) evaluation of the lateral and vertical fluxes due to gradients |
|
|
along isopycnals or bolus transport ({\bf gmredi\_xtransport}, {\bf |
|
|
gmredi\_ytransport} and {\bf gmredi-rtransport}). |
|
|
|
|
|
Each element of the tensor is discretised to be adiabatic and so that |
|
|
there would be no flux if the gmredi operator is applied to buoyancy. |
|
|
To acheive this we have to consider both these constraints for each |
|
|
row of the tensor, each row corresponding to a 'u', 'v' or 'w' point |
|
|
on the model grid. |
|
|
|
|
|
The code that implements the Redi/GM/Griffies schemes involves an |
|
|
original core routine {\bf inc\_tracer()} that is used to calculate |
|
|
the tendency in the tracers (namely, salt and potential temperature) |
|
|
and a new routine {\bf RediTensor()} that calculates the tensor |
|
|
components and $\kappa_{GM}$. |

The subroutine {\bf RediTensor()} is called from {\bf model()} with |
\subsubsection{Experiments and tutorials that use gmredi} |
| 440 |
input arguments $T$ and $S$. It returns the 3D-arrays {\tt Kredigm}, |
\label{sec:pkg:gmredi:experiments} |
|
{\t K31}, {\tt K32} and {\tt K33} which represent $\kappa_{GM}$ (at |
|
|
$T/S$ points) and the three components of the bottom row in the |
|
|
Redi/GM tensor; $2 S_x$, $2 S_y$ and $|S|^2$ respectively, all at $W$ |
|
|
points. |
|
|
|
|
|
The discretisations and algorithm within {\bf RediTensor()} are as |
|
|
follows. The routine first calculates the locally reference potential |
|
|
density $\sigma_\theta$ from $T$ and $S$ and calculates the potential |
|
|
density gradients in subroutine {\bf gradSigma()}: |
|
|
|
|
|
\centerline{\begin{tabular}{ccl} |
|
|
& & \\ |
|
|
Array & Grid-point & Definition \\ |
|
|
{\tt SigX} & U & |
|
|
$\sigma_x = \frac{1}{\Delta x} \delta_x \sigma|_{z(k)}$ |
|
|
\\ |
|
|
{\tt SigY} & V & |
|
|
$\sigma_y = \frac{1}{\Delta y} \delta_y \sigma|_{z(k)}$ |
|
|
\\ |
|
|
{\tt SigZ} & W & |
|
|
$\sigma_z = \frac{1}{\Delta z} |
|
|
[ \sigma|_{z(k)}(k-1/2) - \sigma|_{z(k)}(k+1/2) ]$ |
|
|
\\ |
|
|
\\ |
|
|
\end{tabular}} |
|
| 441 |
|
|
| 442 |
Note that $\sigma_z$ is the static stability because the potential |
\begin{itemize} |
| 443 |
densities are referenced to the same reference level ($W$-level). |
\item{Global Ocean tutorial, in tutorial\_global\_oce\_latlon verification directory, |
| 444 |
|
described in section \ref{sec:eg-global} } |
| 445 |
|
\item{ Front Relax experiment, in front\_relax verification directory.} |
| 446 |
|
\item{ Ideal 2D Ocean experiment, in ideal\_2D\_oce verification directory.} |
| 447 |
|
\end{itemize} |
| 448 |
|
|
| 449 |
The next step calculates the three tensor components {\tt K13}, {\tt |
% DO NOT EDIT HERE |
|
K23} and {\tt K33} in subroutine {\bf KtensorWface()}. First, the |
|
|
lateral gradients $\sigma_x$ and $\sigma_y$ are interpolated to the |
|
|
$W$ points and stored in intermediate variables: |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray*} |
|
|
\mbox{\tt Sx} & = & \overline{ \overline{ \sigma_x }^x }^z \\ |
|
|
\mbox{\tt Sy} & = & \overline{ \overline{ \sigma_y }^y }^z |
|
|
\end{eqnarray*} |
|
|
Next, the magnitude of ${\bf \nabla}_z \sigma$ is stored in an intermediate |
|
|
variable: |
|
|
\begin{displaymath} |
|
|
\mbox{\tt Sxy2} = \sqrt{ {\tt Sx}^2 + {\tt Sy}^2 } |
|
|
\end{displaymath} |
|
|
The stratification ($\sigma_z$) is ``checked'' such that the slope |
|
|
vector has magnitude less than or equal to {\tt Smax} and stored in |
|
|
an intermediate variable: |
|
|
\begin{displaymath} |
|
|
\mbox{\tt Sz} = \max ( \sigma_z , - \mbox{\tt Sxy2/Smax} ) |
|
|
\end{displaymath} |
|
|
This guarantees stability and at the same time retains the lateral |
|
|
orientation of the slope vector. The tensor components are then calculated: |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray*} |
|
|
\mbox{\tt K13} & = & -2 {\tt Sx/Sz} \\ |
|
|
\mbox{\tt K23} & = & -2 {\tt Sx/Sz} \\ |
|
|
\mbox{\tt K33} & = & ({\tt Sx/Sz})^2 + ({\tt Sy/Sz})^2 |
|
|
\end{eqnarray*} |
|
| 450 |
|
|
|
Finally, {\tt Kredigm} ($\kappa_{GM}$) is calculated in subroutine |
|
|
{\bf GMRediCoefficient()}. First, all the gradients are interpolated |
|
|
to the $T/S$ points and stored in intermediate variables: |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray*} |
|
|
\mbox{\tt Sx} & = & \overline{ \sigma_x }^x \\ |
|
|
\mbox{\tt Sy} & = & \overline{ \sigma_y }^y \\ |
|
|
\mbox{\tt Sz} & = & \overline{ \sigma_z }^z |
|
|
\end{eqnarray*} |
|
|
Again, a nominal stratification is found by ``check'' the magnitude of |
|
|
the slope vector but here is converted to a Brunt-Vasala frequency: |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray*} |
|
|
{\tt M2} & = & \sqrt{ {\tt Sx}^2 + {\tt Sy}^2} \\ |
|
|
{\tt N2} & = & - \frac{g}{\rho_o} \max ( {\tt Sz} , -{\tt M2 / Smax} |
|
|
\end{eqnarray*} |
|
|
The magnitude of the slope is then $|S| = {\tt M2}/{\tt N2}$. The Eady |
|
|
growth rate is defined as $|f|/\sqrt(Ri) = |S| N$ and is calculated |
|
|
as: |
|
|
\begin{displaymath} |
|
|
{\tt FrRi} = \frac{\tt M2}{\tt N2} ( - \frac{g}{\rho} {\tt Sz} ) |
|
|
\end{displaymath} |
|
|
The Eady growth rate is then averaged over the upper layers (about |
|
|
1100m) and $\kappa_{GM}$ specified from this 2D-variable: |
|
|
\begin{displaymath} |
|
|
{\tt Kredigm} = 0.02 * (200d3 **2) * {\tt FrRi} |
|
|
\end{displaymath} |
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection{subroutine inc\_tracer()} |
|
|
|
|
|
{\bf inc\-tracer()} is called from {\bf model()} and has {\em four |
|
|
new} arguments: |
|
|
\begin{verbatim} |
|
|
subroutine inc_tracer( ...,Kredigm,K31,K32,K33, ... ) |
|
|
real Kredigm(Nx,Ny,Nz) ! Eddy coefficient |
|
|
real K31(Nx,Ny,Nz) ! (3,1) tensor coefficient |
|
|
real K32(Nx,Ny,Nz) ! (3,2) tensor coefficient |
|
|
real K33(Nx,Ny,Nz) ! (3,3) tensor coefficient |
|
|
\end{verbatim} |
|
|
|
|
|
Within the routine, the lateral fluxes, {\tt fluxWest} and {\tt |
|
|
fluxSouth}, in the Redi/GM/Griffies scheme are very similar to the |
|
|
conventional horizontal diffusion terms except that the diffusion |
|
|
coefficient is a function of space and must be interpolated from the |
|
|
$T/S$ points: |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray*} |
|
|
{\tt fluxWest}(\tau) & = & \ldots + |
|
|
\overline{\tt Kredigm}^x \partial_x \tau \\ |
|
|
{\tt fluxSouth}(\tau) & = & \ldots + |
|
|
\overline{\tt Kredigm}^y \partial_y \tau |
|
|
\end{eqnarray*} |
|
|
|
|
|
The Redi/GM/Griffies scheme adds three terms to the vertical flux |
|
|
({\tt fluxUpper}) in the tracer equation. It is discretise simply: |
|
|
\begin{displaymath} |
|
|
{\tt fluxUpper}(\tau) = \ldots + \overline{\tt Kredigm}^z |
|
|
\left( |
|
|
{\tt K13} \overline{\partial_x \tau}^{xz} + |
|
|
{\tt K23} \overline{\partial_y \tau}^{yz} + |
|
|
{\tt K33} \partial_z \tau |
|
|
\right) |
|
|
\end{displaymath} |
|
|
On boundaries, {\tt fluxUpper} is set to zero. |
