Ekman Pumping in ROMS

#1 Unread post by chenxufsu »

Hello everyone,
I am trying to figure out how the ROMS calculate the Ekman pumping in the model. Does any one have idea on where the code is for Ekman pumping? Thank you and have a nice day!
Happy modeling

There is no explicit "Ekman pumping" code. It simply happens as part of the model's response to lateral variations in wind stress. Or rather one could say that Ekman described a processes that's implicit in the equations of motion when there are lateral variations in wind stress.
