0003 Global Ocean Simulation
0004 =======================
0005
0006 (in directory: :filelink:`verification/tutorial_global_oce_latlon/`)
0007
0008 This example experiment demonstrates using the MITgcm to simulate the
0009 planetary ocean circulation. The simulation is configured with
0010 realistic geography and bathymetry on a
0011 :math:`4^{\circ} \times 4^{\circ}` spherical polar grid. Fifteen levels are used in the
0012 vertical, ranging in thickness from 50 m at the surface to 690 m at depth, giving a
0013 maximum model depth of 5200 m. Different time-steps are
0014 used to accelerate the convergence to equilibrium (see Bryan 1984 :cite:`bryan:84`)
0015 so that, at this resolution, the
0016 configuration can be integrated forward for thousands of years on a
0017 single processor desktop computer.
0018
0019 Overview
0020 --------
0021
0022 The model is forced with climatological wind stress data from Trenberth (1990)
0023 :cite:`trenberth:90` and NCEP surface flux data from Kalnay et al. (1996)
0024 :cite:`kalnay:96`. Climatological data (Levitus and Boyer 1994a,b :cite:`levitus:94a,levitus:94b`)
0025 is used to initialize the model
0026 hydrography. Levitus and Boyer seasonal climatology
0027 data is also used throughout the calculation to provide additional
0028 air-sea fluxes. These fluxes are combined with the NCEP climatological
0029 estimates of surface heat flux, resulting in a mixed boundary condition
0030 of the style described in Haney (1971) :cite:`haney:71`. Altogether, this
0031 yields the following forcing applied in the model surface layer.
0032
0033 .. math::
0034 {\cal F}_{u} = \frac{\tau_{x}}{\rho_{0} \Delta z_{s}}
0035 :label: eg-global_forcing-Fu
0036
0037 .. math::
0038 {\cal F}_{v} = \frac{\tau_{y}}{\rho_{0} \Delta z_{s}}
0039 :label: eg-global_forcing-Fv
0040
0041 .. math::
0042 {\cal F}_{\theta} = - \lambda_{\theta} ( \theta - \theta^{\ast} )
0043 - \frac{1}{C_{p} \rho_{0} \Delta z_{s}}{\cal Q}
0044 :label: eg-global_forcing-Ftheta
0045
0046 .. math::
0047 {\cal F}_{s} = - \lambda_{s} ( S - S^{\ast} )
0048 + \frac{S_{0}}{\Delta z_{s}}({\cal E} - {\cal P} - {\cal R})
0049 :label: eg-global_forcing-Fs
0050
0051 where :math:`{\cal F}_{u}`, :math:`{\cal F}_{v}`,
0052 :math:`{\cal F}_{\theta}`, :math:`{\cal F}_{s}` are the forcing terms in
0053 the zonal and meridional momentum and in the potential temperature and
0054 salinity equations respectively. The term :math:`\Delta z_{s}`
0055 represents the top ocean layer thickness in meters. It is used in
0056 conjunction with a reference density, :math:`\rho_{0}` (here set to
0057 999.8 kg m\ :sup:`-3`), a reference salinity, :math:`S_{0}`
0058 (here set to 35 ppt), and a specific heat capacity, :math:`C_{p}` (here
0059 set to 4000 J kg\ :sup:`-1` K\ :sup:`-1`), to
0060 convert input dataset values into time tendencies of potential
0061 temperature (with units of :sup:`o`\ C s\ :sup:`-1`),
0062 salinity (with units ppt s\ :sup:`-1`) and velocity (with units
0063 m s\ :sup:`-2`). The externally supplied forcing fields
0064 used in this experiment are :math:`\tau_{x}`, :math:`\tau_{y}`,
0065 :math:`\theta^{\ast}`, :math:`S^{\ast}`, :math:`\cal{Q}` and
0066 :math:`\mathcal{E}-\mathcal{P}-\mathcal{R}`. The wind stress fields (:math:`\tau_x`,
0067 :math:`\tau_y`) have units of N m\ :sup:`-2`. The
0068 temperature forcing fields (:math:`\theta^{\ast}` and :math:`Q`) have
0069 units of :sup:`o`\ C and W m\ :sup:`-2`
0070 respectively. The salinity forcing fields (:math:`S^{\ast}` and
0071 :math:`\cal{E}-\cal{P}-\cal{R}`) have units of ppt and
0072 m s\ :sup:`-1` respectively. The source files and
0073 procedures for ingesting this data into the simulation are described in
0074 the experiment configuration discussion in section
0075 :numref:`sec_eg-global-clim_ocn_examp_exp_config`.
0076
0077 Discrete Numerical Configuration
0078 --------------------------------
0079
0080 The model is configured in hydrostatic form. The domain is discretized
0081 with a uniform grid spacing in latitude and longitude on the sphere
0082 :math:`\Delta \phi=\Delta \lambda=4^{\circ}`, so that there are 90
0083 grid cells in the zonal and 40 in the meridional direction. The
0084 internal model coordinate variables :math:`x` and :math:`y` are
0085 initialized according to
0086
0087 .. math::
0088
0089 x &= r\cos(\phi), &\Delta x & = r\cos(\Delta \phi)
0090
0091 y &= r\lambda, &\Delta y &= r\Delta \lambda
0092
0093 Arctic polar regions are not included in this experiment. Meridionally
0094 the model extends from 80\ :sup:`o`\ S to
0095 80\ :sup:`o`\ N. Vertically the model is configured with
0096 fifteen layers with the following thicknesses:
0097
0098 | :math:`\Delta z_{1}` = 50 m
0099 | :math:`\Delta z_{2}` = 70 m
0100 | :math:`\Delta z_{3}` = 100 m
0101 | :math:`\Delta z_{4}` = 140 m
0102 | :math:`\Delta z_{5}` = 190 m
0103 | :math:`\Delta z_{6}` = 240 m
0104 | :math:`\Delta z_{7}` = 290 m
0105 | :math:`\Delta z_{8}` = 340 m
0106 | :math:`\Delta z_{9}` = 390 m
0107 | :math:`\Delta z_{10}` = 440 m
0108 | :math:`\Delta z_{11}` = 490 m
0109 | :math:`\Delta z_{12}` = 540 m
0110 | :math:`\Delta z_{13}` = 590 m
0111 | :math:`\Delta z_{14}` = 640 m
0112 | :math:`\Delta z_{15}` = 690 m
0113
0114 (here the numeric subscript indicates the model level index number,
0115 :math:`{\tt k}`) to give a total depth, :math:`H`, of
0116 -5200 m. The implicit free surface form of the pressure
0117 equation described in Marshall et al. (1997) :cite:`marshall:97a` is employed. A
0118 Laplacian operator, :math:`\nabla^2`, provides viscous dissipation.
0119 Thermal and haline diffusion is also represented by a Laplacian
0120 operator.
0121
0122 Wind-stress forcing is added to the momentum equations in
0123 :eq:`eg-global-model_equations_uv` for both the zonal
0124 flow :math:`u` and the meridional flow :math:`v`, according to
0125 equations :eq:`eg-global_forcing-Fu` and :eq:`eg-global_forcing-Fv`. Thermodynamic
0126 forcing inputs are added to the equations in
0127 :eq:`eg-global-model_equations_ts` for potential
0128 temperature, :math:`\theta`, and salinity, :math:`S`, according to equations
0129 :eq:`eg-global_forcing-Ftheta` and :eq:`eg-global_forcing-Fs`. This produces a set
0130 of equations solved in this configuration as follows:

0183 where :math:`u=\frac{Dx}{Dt}=r \cos(\phi)\frac{D \lambda}{Dt}` and
0184 :math:`v=\frac{Dy}{Dt}=r \frac{D \phi}{Dt}` are the zonal and
0bad585a21 Navi*0185 meridional components of the flow vector, :math:`\vec{\bf u}`, on the
d67096e55c Jeff*0186 sphere. As described in :numref:`discret_algorithm`, the time evolution of
0187 potential temperature :math:`\theta` equation is solved
0188 prognostically. The total pressure :math:`p` is diagnosed by summing
0189 pressure due to surface elevation :math:`\eta` and the hydrostatic
0190 pressure.
0191
0192 Numerical Stability Criteria
0193 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0194
0195 The Laplacian dissipation coefficient, :math:`A_{h}`, is set to
0196 :math:`5 \times 10^5` m s\ :sup:`-1`. This value is chosen to yield a Munk
0197 layer width (see Adcroft 1995 :cite:`adcroft:95`),
0198
0199 .. math::
0bad585a21 Navi*0200 M = \pi ( \frac { A_{h} }{ \beta } )^{\frac{1}{3}}
d67096e55c Jeff*0201 :label: eq:eg-global-munk_layer
0202
0203 of ~600 km. This is greater than
0204 the model resolution in low-latitudes,
0205 :math:`\Delta x \approx` 400 km, ensuring that the frictional
0206 boundary layer is adequately resolved.
0207
0208 The model is stepped forward with a time step
0209 :math:`\Delta
0210 t_{\theta}` = 24 hours for thermodynamic variables and
0211 :math:`\Delta t_{v}` = 30 minutes for momentum terms. With this time step, the
0212 stability parameter to the horizontal Laplacian friction
0213 (Adcroft 1995 :cite:`adcroft:95`)
0214
0215 .. math::
0bad585a21 Navi*0216 S_{\rm Lh} = 4 \frac{A_{h} \Delta t_{v}}{{\Delta x}^2}
d67096e55c Jeff*0217 :label: eq:eg-global-laplacian_stability
0218
0219 evaluates to 0.6 at a latitude of
0220 :math:`\phi` = 80\ :sup:`o`, which is above the 0.3 upper limit for
0221 stability, but the zonal grid spacing :math:`\Delta x` is smallest at
0222 :math:`\phi` = 80\ :sup:`o` where :math:`\Delta
0223 x=r\cos(\phi)\Delta \phi\approx` 77 km and the stability criterion
0224 is already met one grid cell equatorwards (at :math:`\phi` = 76\ :sup:`o`).
0225
0226 The vertical dissipation coefficient,
0227 :math:`A_{z}`, is set to :math:`1\times10^{-3}` m\ :sup:`2` s\ :sup:`-1`.
0228 The associated stability limit
0229
0230 .. math::
0bad585a21 Navi*0231 S_{\rm Lv} = 4 \frac{A_{z} \Delta t_{v}}{{\Delta z}^2}
d67096e55c Jeff*0232 :label: eg-global-laplacian_stability_z
0233
0234 evaluates to 0.0029 for the smallest
0235 model level spacing (:math:`\Delta z_{1}` = 50 m) which is well
0236 below the upper stability limit.
0237
0238 The numerical stability for inertial
0239 oscillations (Adcroft 1995 :cite:`adcroft:95`)
0240
0241 .. math::
0bad585a21 Navi*0242 S_{\rm inert} = f^{2} {\Delta t_v}^2
d67096e55c Jeff*0243 :label: eg-global-inertial_stability
0244
0245 evaluates to 0.07 for
0246 :math:`f=2\omega\sin(80^{\circ})=1.43\times10^{-4}` s\ :sup:`-1`,
0247 which is below the :math:`S_{i} < 1` upper limit for stability.
0248
0249 The advective CFL (Adcroft 1995 :cite:`adcroft:95`)
0250 for a extreme maximum horizontal flow
0bad585a21 Navi*0251 speed of :math:`| \vec{\bf u} |` = 2 m s\ :sup:`-1`
d67096e55c Jeff*0252
0253 .. math::
0bad585a21 Navi*0254 S_{\rm adv} = \frac{| \vec{\bf u} | \Delta t_{v}}{ \Delta x}
d67096e55c Jeff*0255 :label: eg-global-cfl_stability
0256
0257 evaluates to :math:`5 \times 10^{-2}`. This is
0258 well below the stability limit of 0.5.
0259
0260 The stability parameter for internal gravity
0261 waves propagating with a maximum speed of
0262 :math:`c_{g}` = 10 m s\ :sup:`-1` (Adcroft 1995 :cite:`adcroft:95`)
0263
0264 .. math::
0265 S_{c} = \frac{c_{g} \Delta t_{v}}{ \Delta x}
0266 :label: eg-global-gfl_stability
0267
0268 evaluates to :math:`2.3 \times 10^{-1}`. This is
0269 close to the linear stability limit of 0.5.

0544 This line specifies the name of the file from which the domain
0545 bathymetry is read. This file is a 2-D (:math:`x,y`) map
0546 of depths. This file is assumed to contain 32-bit binary numbers
0547 giving the depth of the model at each grid cell, ordered with the :math:`x`
0548 coordinate varying fastest. The points are ordered from low
0549 coordinate to high coordinate for both axes. The units and
0550 orientation of the depths in this file are the same as used in the
0551 MITgcm code. In this experiment, a depth of 0 m indicates a
0552 solid wall and a depth of <0 m indicates open ocean.
