Ocean Modeling Discussion

Thanks for the clarification John. One more question about the units involved. The diffusion fluxes have units of m².s⁻¹.°C⁻¹, but to properly add them with the Huon/Hvom_temp variables, which have units of m³.s⁻¹.°C⁻¹, I am missing a meter unit. In this case, what should I do? Should I take into acc ...

Hi John, Many thanks for your reply, it was very helpful! When I calculate the divergence of the temperature gradient, my units are °C·m·s⁻¹, while the temp_hdiff from diagnostics is in °C·s⁻¹. I thought the most correct way to get it right was to divide my calculated horizontal diffusion by Hz and w ...

Hi everyone, I’m working on a cross-shelf heat transport analysis and using Huon_temp/Hvom_temp for the heat fluxes on the grid cell faces. Now, I need to add the horizontal diffusion to get the full heat transport picture. I know I can calculate it myself, and for my case, it’s the Laplacian Hor ...
