Ocean Modeling Discussion

For the simplest case, the upper 5m have density of about 1000kg/m^3 while the rest 315m have density of ~1230kg/m^3; thus the reduced gravity is about 2.5.

The spatial resolution is 0.5km and the maximum depth is ~320m.

The baroclinic phase speed is around 3m/s while the tracers time step is 25s; this time step is sufficiently small, isn't it ?

Hi Kate, I'm using linear equation of state with known thermal and haline coefficients for the Dead Sea. After few time steps, the model produced negative (!) salinities and negative relative densities. Constraining the salinities and relative densities to be postive in rho_eso.F didn't result in ...

Hi, I'm trying to simulate the dynamics of highly stratified fuild. I ran ROMS-2.2 with the following initial conditions: for the salinity I sued 10 PSU for the upper 5m while the rest bottom water had salinity of 278PSU. These values are characteristics salinities for the Dead Sea I'm simulating ...
