Add open boundaries (SSH + 2d velocities) #2

Open jpolton opened 3 years ago

jpolton commented 3 years ago

Tidal forcing is harmonic whereas SSH and 2D velocity forcing is time varying. All boundary files can be made with the PyNEMO tool.

This step does not require temperature and salinity structure in the simulation so is a natural progression in forcing from tide only, though will be more interesting when atm forcing is also added.

need to transfer data from MO: ·hourly barotropic currents ·hourly SSH

@micdom @mpayopayo

After tide-only, adding time varying open boundaries is probably the next logical step and would be an opportunity to replace the problem ACCORD files with relevant files.

These data could also come from the CMEMS service for AMM15, unless there is something special about the MO source. Under IMMERSE, the PyNEMO tool is updated by Tom Prime to make this 'easy'.

@jpolton @mpayopayo OK, sounds as a plan. If I'm not wrong CMEMS service for AMM15 has only 25h de-tided data and interpolated on z vertical levels. If that's ok, then we can use them, otherwise we need to go back to the MO source.

I think that that will be OK. Actually de-tided and z-levels is good (more simple)
