Detailed Description¶

By Robert Hallberg, April 1994 - June 2002.

This subroutine initializes the fields for the simulations. The one argument passed to initialize, Time, is set to the current time of the simulation. The fields which are initialized here are: u - Zonal velocity [L T-1 ~> m s-1]. v - Meridional velocity [L T-1 ~> m s-1]. h - Layer thickness [H ~> m or kg m-2] (must be positive) D - Basin depth [Z ~> m] (positive downward) f - The Coriolis parameter [T-1 ~> s-1]. If ENABLE_THERMODYNAMICS is defined: T - Temperature [C ~> degC]. S - Salinity [S ~> ppt]. If SPONGE is defined: A series of subroutine calls are made to set up the damping rates and reference profiles for all variables that are damped in the sponge. Any user provided tracer code is also first linked through this subroutine.

Forcing-related fields (taux, tauy, buoy, ustar, etc.) are set in MOM_surface_forcing.F90.

These variables are all set in the set of subroutines (in this file) Phillips_initialize_thickness, Phillips_initialize_velocity, Phillips_initialize_topography and Phillips_initialize_sponges that seet up fields that are specific to the Phillips instability test case.

us :: [in] A dimensional unit scaling type
h :: [out] The thickness that is being initialized [Z ~> m]
depth_tot :: [in] The nominal total depth of the ocean [Z ~> m]
param_file :: [in] A structure indicating the open file to parse for model parameter values.
just_read :: [in] If true, this call will only read parameters without changing h.
