question about the first half layer

#1 Unread post by seashellingolds »

Hi all

I may be asking a simple question but I really need confirmation

Does it numerically make sense to release Lagrangian floats at between the first W layer and RHO layer
as shown below

*********
*** w *** . ^^^\ ^^^ free surface
********* . \
. . . . HERE :?:
. ********* /
. *** r *** . ___/
********* .
. . . .

. *** w ***

The most I am not sure is the horizontal vel in this layer

Thanks a bunch for any help

I assume the horizontal velocity within that layer is the same as that at the rho point. I'd put floats in there.
