Ocean Modeling Discussion

Sorry about the delay, and thanks for your offer of help. Before you spend any of your time, I think there's some more I can look at on my end, but it's good to know that this behavior is at least unexpected. My current working hypothesis is that the blow-up is a result of a growing instability that ...

Sorry about the .ps files, attached here as jpegs. These are just quick plots from ncview, but it gives the general picture.

In terms of domain size it is 200 x 100 x 60 (NX, NY, NZ). The uniform vertical grid case I tried was NZ=250.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I'm running an idealized channel simulation (periodic in the y-direction), with a linear bottom slope in the x-direction. Domain is 60 km x 30 km x 1600 m (resolution 300 m x 300 m x 2-30 m). The simulation begins with uniform flow in the positive y-direction, and a uniform stratification ...
