Detailed Description¶

This file contains the subroutine that calculates the time derivatives of the velocities due to Coriolis acceleration and momentum advection. This subroutine uses either a vorticity advection scheme from Arakawa and Hsu, Mon. Wea. Rev. 1990, or Sadourny’s (JAS 1975) energy conserving scheme. Both have been modified to use general orthogonal coordinates as described in Arakawa and Lamb, Mon. Wea. Rev. 1981. Both schemes are second order accurate, and allow for vanishingly small layer thicknesses. The Arakawa and Hsu scheme globally conserves both total energy and potential enstrophy in the limit of nondivergent flow. Sadourny’s energy conserving scheme conserves energy if the flow is nondivergent or centered difference thickness fluxes are used.

A small fragment of the grid is shown below:

j+1  x ^ x ^ x   At x:  q, CoriolisBu
j+1  > o > o >   At ^:  v, CAv, vh
j    x ^ x ^ x   At >:  u, CAu, uh, a, b, c, d
j    > o > o >   At o:  h, KE
j-1  x ^ x ^ x
    i-1  i  i+1  At x & ^:
       i  i+1    At > & o:

The boundaries always run through q grid points (x).

% id_hf_rvxu_2d [integer] :: Diagnostic IDs.
% id_hf_rvxv_2d [integer] :: Diagnostic IDs.
% coriolis_scheme [integer] :: Selects the discretization for the Coriolis terms. Valid values are:
% ke_scheme [integer] :: KE_SCHEME selects the discretization for the kinetic energy. Valid values are: KE_ARAKAWA, KE_SIMPLE_GUDONOV, KE_GUDONOV.
% pv_adv_scheme [integer] :: PV_ADV_SCHEME selects the discretization for PV advection Valid values are:
% f_eff_max_blend [real] :: The factor by which the maximum effective Coriolis acceleration from any point can be increased when blending different discretizations with the ARAKAWA_LAMB_BLEND Coriolis scheme. This must be greater than 2.0, and is 4.0 by default.
% wt_lin_blend [real] :: A weighting value beyond which the blending between Sadourny and Arakawa & Hsu goes linearly to 0. This must be between 1 and 1e-15, often 1/8.
% no_slip [logical] :: If true, no slip boundary conditions are used. Otherwise free slip boundary conditions are assumed. The implementation of the free slip boundary conditions on a C-grid is much cleaner than the no slip boundary conditions. The use of free slip b.c.s is strongly encouraged. The no slip b.c.s are not implemented with the biharmonic viscosity.
% bound_coriolis [logical] :: If true, the Coriolis terms at u points are bounded by the four estimates of (f+rv)v from the four neighboring v points, and similarly at v points. This option would have no effect on the SADOURNY75_ENERGY scheme if it were possible to use centered difference thickness fluxes.
% coriolis_en_dis [logical] :: If CORIOLIS_EN_DIS is defined, two estimates of the thickness fluxes are used to estimate the Coriolis term, and the one that dissipates energy relative to the other one is used. This is only available at present if Coriolis scheme is SADOURNY75_ENERGY.
% time [type(time_type),pointer] :: A pointer to the ocean model’s clock.
% diag [type(diag_ctrl),pointer] :: A structure that is used to regulate the timing of diagnostic output.
