\subsubsection{Introduction |
| 12 |
|
\label{sec:pkg:kpp:intro}} |
| 13 |
|
|
| 14 |
|
The nonlocal K-Profile Parameterization (KPP) scheme |
| 15 |
|
of \cite{lar-eta:94} unifies the treatment of a variety of |
| 16 |
|
unresolved processes involved in vertical mixing. |
| 17 |
|
To consider it as one mixing scheme is, in the view of the authors, |
| 18 |
|
somewhat misleading since it consists of several entities |
| 19 |
|
to deal with distinct mixing processes in the ocean's surface |
| 20 |
|
boundary layer, and the interior: |
| 21 |
|
% |
| 22 |
|
\begin{enumerate} |
| 23 |
|
% |
| 24 |
|
\item |
| 25 |
|
mixing in the interior is goverened by |
| 26 |
|
shear instability (modeled as function of the local gradient |
| 27 |
|
Richardson number), internal wave activity (assumed constant), |
| 28 |
|
and double-diffusion (not implemented here). |
| 29 |
|
% |
| 30 |
|
\item |
| 31 |
|
a boundary layer depth $h$ or \texttt{hbl} is determined |
| 32 |
|
at each grid point, based on a critical value of turbulent |
| 33 |
|
processes parameterized by a bulk Richardson number; |
| 34 |
|
% |
| 35 |
|
\item |
| 36 |
|
mixing is strongly enhanced in the boundary layer under the |
| 37 |
|
stabilizing or destabilizing influence of surface forcing |
| 38 |
|
(buoyancy and momentum) enabling boundary layer properties |
| 39 |
|
to penetrate well into the thermocline; |
| 40 |
|
mixing is represented through a polynomial profile whose |
| 41 |
|
coefficients are determined subject to several contraints; |
| 42 |
|
% |
| 43 |
|
\item |
| 44 |
|
the boundary-layer profile is made to agree with similarity |
| 45 |
|
theory of turbulence and is matched, in the asymptotic sense |
| 46 |
|
(function and derivative agree at the boundary), |
| 47 |
|
to the interior thus fixing the polynomial coefficients; |
| 48 |
|
matching allows for some fraction of the boundary layer mixing |
| 49 |
|
to affect the interior, and vice versa; |
| 50 |
|
% |
| 51 |
|
\item |
| 52 |
|
a ``non-local'' term $\hat{\gamma}$ or \texttt{ghat} |
| 53 |
|
which is independent of the vertical property gradient further |
| 54 |
|
enhances mixing where the water column is unstable |
| 55 |
|
% |
| 56 |
|
\end{enumerate} |
| 57 |
|
% |
| 58 |
|
The scheme has been extensively compared to observations |
| 59 |
|
(see e.g. \cite{lar-eta:97}) and is now coomon in many |
| 60 |
|
ocean models. |
| 61 |
|
|
| 62 |
|
The current code originates in the NCAR NCOM 1-D code |
| 63 |
|
and was kindly provided by Bill Large and Jan Morzel. |
| 64 |
|
It has been adapted first to the MITgcm vector code and |
| 65 |
|
subsequently to the current parallel code. |
| 66 |
|
Adjustment were mainly in conjunction with WRAPPER requirements |
| 67 |
|
(domain decomposition and threading capability), to enable |
| 68 |
|
automatic differentiation of tangent linear and adjoint code |
| 69 |
|
via TAMC. |
| 70 |
|
|
| 71 |
|
The following sections will describe the KPP package |
| 72 |
|
configuration and compiling (\ref{sec:pkg:kpp:comp}), |
| 73 |
|
the settings and choices of runtime parameters |
| 74 |
|
(\ref{sec:pkg:kpp:runtime}), |
| 75 |
|
more detailed description of equations to which these |
| 76 |
|
parameters relate (\ref{sec:pkg:kpp:equations}), |
| 77 |
|
and key subroutines where they are used (\ref{sec:pkg:kpp:subroutines}), |
| 78 |
|
and diagnostics output of KPP-derived diffusivities, viscosities |
| 79 |
|
and boundary-layer/mixed-layer depths. |

\subsubsection{KPP configuration and compiling |
| 84 |
|
\label{sec:pkg:kpp:comp}} |
| 85 |
|
|
| 86 |
|
As with all MITgcm packages, KPP can be turned on or off at compile time |
| 87 |
|
% |
| 88 |
|
\begin{itemize} |
| 89 |
|
% |
| 90 |
|
\item |
| 91 |
|
using the \texttt{packages.conf} file by adding \texttt{kpp} to it, |
| 92 |
|
% |
| 93 |
|
\item |
| 94 |
|
or using \texttt{genmake2} adding |
| 95 |
|
\texttt{-enable=kpp} or \texttt{-disable=kpp} switches |
| 96 |
|
% |
| 97 |
|
\item |
| 98 |
|
\textit{Required packages and CPP options:} \\ |
| 99 |
|
No additional packages are required, but the MITgcm kernel flag |
| 100 |
|
enabling the penetration of shortwave radiation below |
| 101 |
|
the surface layer needs to be set in \texttt{CPP\_OPTIONS.h} |
| 102 |
|
as follows: \\ |
| 103 |
|
\texttt{\#define SHORTWAVE\_HEATING} |
| 104 |
|
% |
| 105 |
|
\end{itemize} |
| 106 |
|
(see Section \ref{sect:buildingCode}). |
| 107 |
|
|
| 108 |
|
Parts of the KPP code can be enabled or disabled at compile time |
| 109 |
|
via CPP preprocessor flags. These options are set in |
| 110 |
|
\texttt{KPP\_OPTIONS.h}. Table \ref{tab:pkg:kpp:cpp} summarizes them. |

\subsubsection{Run-time parameters |
| 152 |
|
\label{sec:pkg:kpp:runtime}} |
| 153 |
|
|
| 154 |
|
Run-time parameters are set in files |
| 155 |
|
\texttt{data.pkg} and \texttt{data.kpp} |
| 156 |
|
which are read in \texttt{kpp\_readparms.F}. |
| 157 |
|
Run-time parameters may be broken into 3 categories: |
| 158 |
|
(i) switching on/off the package at runtime, |
| 159 |
|
(ii) required MITgcm flags, |
| 160 |
|
(iii) package flags and parameters. |
| 161 |

| 162 |
|
\paragraph{Enabling the package} |
| 163 |
|
~ \\ |
| 164 |
|
% |
| 165 |
|
The KPP package is switched on at runtime by setting |
| 166 |
|
\texttt{useKPP = .TRUE.} in \texttt{data.pkg}. |
| 167 |
|
|
| 168 |
|
\paragraph{Required MITgcm flags} |
| 169 |
|
~ \\ |
| 170 |
|
% |
| 171 |
|
The following flags/parameters of the MITgcm dynamical |
| 172 |
|
kernel need to be set in conjunction with KPP: |
| 173 |
|
|
| 174 |
|
\begin{tabular}{ll} |
| 175 |
|
\texttt{implicitViscosity = .TRUE.} & enable implicit vertical viscosity \\ |
| 176 |

We restrict ourselves to writing out only the essential equations |
| 295 |
|
that relate to main processes and parameters mentioned above. |
| 296 |
|
We closely follow the notation of \cite{lar-eta:94}. |

The vertical fluxes $\overline{wx}$ |
| 309 |
|
of momentum and tracer properties $X$ |
| 310 |
|
is composed of a gradient-flux term (proportional to |
| 311 |
|
the vertical property divergence $\partial_z X$), and |
| 312 |
|
a ``nonlocal'' term $\gamma_x$ that enhances the |
| 313 |
|
gradient-flux mixing coefficient $K_x$ |
| 314 |
|
% |
| 315 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 316 |
|
\overline{wx}(d) \, = \, -K_x \left( |
| 317 |

\frac{\partial X}{\partial z} \, - \, \gamma_x \right) |

\item |
| 323 |
|
\textit{Boundary layer mixing profile} \\ |
| 324 |
|
% |
| 325 |
|
It is expressed as the product of the boundary layer depth $h$, |
| 326 |
|
a depth-dependent turbulent velocity scale $w_x(\sigma)$ and a |
| 327 |
|
non-dimensional shape function $G(\sigma)$ |
| 328 |
|
% |
| 329 |

\begin{equation} |
| 330 |

K_x(\sigma) \, = \, h \, w_x(\sigma) \, G(\sigma) |
| 331 |
|
\end{equation} |
| 332 |
|
% |
| 333 |
|
with dimensionless vertical coordinate $\sigma = d/h$. |
| 334 |
|
For details of $ w_x(\sigma)$ and $G(\sigma)$ we refer to |
| 335 |
|
\cite{lar-eta:94}. |

\item |
| 339 |
|
\textit{Nonlocal mixing term} \\ |
| 340 |
|
% |
| 341 |
|
The nonlocal transport term $\gamma$ is nonzero only for |
| 342 |
|
tracers in unstable (convective) forcing conditions. |
| 343 |
|
Thus, depending on the stability parameter $\zeta = d/L$ |
| 344 |
|
(with depth $d$, Monin-Obukhov length scale $L$) |
| 345 |
|
it has the following form: |
| 346 |
|
% |
| 347 |
|
\begin{eqnarray} |
| 348 |
|
\begin{array}{cl} |
| 349 |

\gamma_x \, = \, 0 & \zeta \, \ge \, 0 \\ |

~ & ~ \\ |

\frac{\overline{w \theta_0}+\overline{w \theta_R}}{w_s(\sigma) h} \\ |

\zeta \, < \, 0 \\ |

In practice, the routine peforms the following tasks: |

\paragraph{BLDEPTH: Boundary layer depth calculation:} ~ \\ |
| 416 |
|
% |
| 417 |
|
The oceanic planetary boundary layer depth, \texttt{hbl}, is determined as |
| 418 |
|
the shallowest depth where the bulk Richardson number is |
| 419 |
|
equal to the critical value, \texttt{Ricr}. |
| 420 |
|
|
| 421 |
|
Bulk Richardson numbers are evaluated by computing velocity and |
| 422 |
|
buoyancy differences between values at zgrid(kl) < 0 and surface |
| 423 |
|
reference values. |
| 424 |
|
In this configuration, the reference values are equal to the |
| 425 |
|
values in the surface layer. |
| 426 |
|
When using a very fine vertical grid, these values should be |
| 427 |
|
computed as the vertical average of velocity and buoyancy from |
| 428 |
|
the surface down to epsilon*zgrid(kl). |
| 429 |
|
|
| 430 |
|
When the bulk Richardson number at k exceeds Ricr, hbl is |
| 431 |
|
linearly interpolated between grid levels zgrid(k) and zgrid(k-1). |
| 432 |
|
|
| 433 |
|
The water column and the surface forcing are diagnosed for |
| 434 |
|
stable/ustable forcing conditions, and where hbl is relative |
| 435 |
|
to grid points (caseA), so that conditional branches can be |
| 436 |
|
avoided in later subroutines. |
