Ocean Modeling Discussion

Hi, dear ROMS developers: Internal tide drag is a drag to parameterize the tidal conversion from barotropic tide to baroclinic tide at the steep topography, also known as 'internal wave drag' and 'topographic wave drag'. This parameterization has been incorporated into numerous models to improve tid...

Hi, dear Warner and all: I've found an option in get_grid.f,and it looks like a cpp option called "UV_WAVEDRAG". But I can't find codes or other things related to it in ROMS source codes. I'm wondering is this the option I need for topographic wave drag? Maybe it's the work Kate has done. ...

Thanks a lot for your guidance, I will try it~

This term can be applied in depth-integrated water (simply 2D), or Arbic et al., they applied it to the waters 500 m over the bottom.
Now, I want to add it to 2D first.

Thank you for your reply. T is just a coefficient like Cd, and it can be a tensor or scalar.

Dear all, Hi! I recently read some articles about tidal dissipation. The total tidal dissipation = bottom friction dissipation + internal tidal dissipation. The latter one is also known as barotropic-baroclinic tidal conversion (the last term in equation below). See "A Primer on Global Internal...
