SST

#1 Unread post by jafar1979 »

Model's SST in cold and warm regions, got much more colder and warmer results, respectively, by passing time . SWRAD, SHFLUX,SWFLUX,WINDSTERSS and RIVER are all forced which are used. About model's setup there are:

Code: Select all

 DX=3.3 km 
        TNU2 == 50.0d0  50.0d0                    ! m2/s
        VISC2 == 10.0d0     
        TNUDG == 0.0d0  0.0d0               ! days
        ZNUDG == 0.0d0                      ! days
and TS_MPDATA is active in header file.
what is your recommendation to correct model result?
ALSO What is the appropriate value for TNUDG when model has been ran for 3 years?

You might consider adding the dQdSST term to your forcing.

TNUDG is confusing in that it is used as both a nudging time scale for open boundary conditions and for climatology nudging (unless you change ana_nudgcoef.h). Also confusing is that setting TNUDG to zero does not make for hard clamping (short time scale) due to this:

Code: Select all

!  Compute inverse nudging coefficients (1/s) used in various tasks.
!
          IF (Tnudg(itrc,ng).gt.0.0_r8) THEN 
            Tnudg(itrc,ng)=1.0_r8/(Tnudg(itrc,ng)*86400.0_r8)
          ELSE 
            Tnudg(itrc,ng)=0.0_r8
          END IF
Instead, it turns off the nudging.

1-It seems ROMS want dQdSST just when ever QCORRECTION has been defined in header file. Is it true?
2- Does it need SST data(as well as dQdSST) under this circumstances ( #define QCORRECTION)?

Yes to both. For dQdSST you need to provide the reference SST used when computing Q and dQdSST.

If your mean about Q is surface net heat flux, i have computed it by sum of surface sensible heat flux, surface latent heat flux, surface net solar radiation (shortwave) and surface net thermal radiation (longwave) not SST?

Some of those terms you list are a function of SST, especially longwave up.
