Flat Shelf Upwelling Experiment (Part 1) | Weekly Research Update

This week I started running upwelling experiments using a flat-shelfed grid. As a reminder, the motivation for this experiment is to compare numerical simulations of wind-induced upwelling to an analytical solution. This experiment is still a work in progress. Currently, the model is mostly set up, and I’ve run a trial run. However, the experimental conditions need some refinement, and I have yet to set up a comparison to analytical solutions. More details in the “Preliminary Results” section below. Model Set Up For this experiment, I have switched to a simpler flat-shelfed grid (Figure 1). The shelf is perfectly flat with a depth of 100 m, and a vertical wall at the coastline. Fig 1. Flat-shelfed grid. To simplify this ex

Maybe you could use constant temperature and no atm forcing, then create the stratification with salinity, and use gradient boundary conditions for everything?
