Create ocean_SIS2/OM4_025

Closed Sep 25, 2015 100% complete

This will ultimately replace ocean_SIS/OM4_025 and be the foundation for CM4 quarter degree ocean/ice components.

In contrast to ocean_SIS/OM4_025, ocean_SIS2/OM4_025 will:

  • consistent and conserving thermodynamics (conserves enthalpy).
  • be C-grid, and allow flow through narrow channels.
  • have variable bulk salinity, and allow us to have a finite sea-ice sa…

This will ultimately replace ocean_SIS/OM4_025 and be the foundation for CM4 quarter degree ocean/ice components.

In contrast to ocean_SIS/OM4_025, ocean_SIS2/OM4_025 will:

  • consistent and conserving thermodynamics (conserves enthalpy).
  • be C-grid, and allow flow through narrow channels.
  • have variable bulk salinity, and allow us to have a finite sea-ice salinity (currently sea-ice is fresh).
  • use different heat capacities for water and ice.
  • use PPM transport of sea-ice.
  • allow transport of tracers.

The plan is to create the new ocean_SIS2/OM4_025 and maintain both OM4's while we evaluate them in CORE and CM mode. Once evaluated and rubber-stamped, we'll abandon the SIS1 versions of this experiment, and probably other experiments too.
