Comparison between BRAN and ROMS #29

Open DEHewitt opened 4 years ago

DEHewitt commented 4 years ago

I think it would be useful to compare output between BRAN and ROMS to see how varying spatial resolution impacts settlement patterns. I'm thinking of this because of the width of the shelf and the BRAN resolution (~11km).

@HaydenSchilling I've been thinking about this and do you think we'd need to also do simulations using other advection schemes?

HaydenSchilling commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure I understand? Do you mean limit it to surface only? (possibly a good idea) or actually changing the way particles are advected? I would try to keep things consistent between the models.

DEHewitt commented 3 years ago

I think limiting to the surface is a good idea - but that's not what I was talking about. I just meant do you think we'd need to use other types of advection (e.g., not just AdvectionRK4, but the other ways too), trying each combination of model and advection scheme? I guess we could go down this rabbit-hole a fair way though...

HaydenSchilling commented 3 years ago

I would probably avoid changing advection schemes as I don't know enough about them.

DEHewitt commented 3 years ago

Me either. Just thought it might be useful to be comprehensive. Maybe this could be something we chat with the PARCELS Users Group about? Also, see Nooteboom et al., 2020 for a similar idea.

Also, note Moninya has a very high resolution model (~750m) offshore of the Hunter/Port Stephens region... described in Ribbat et al., 2020
