Ocean Modeling Discussion

Hi, I don't think the vertical mixing of my model is working fine. If I check AKv with the limiter, just the layer befow the surface the value is too high almost everywhere in the model. The area where the stripes appear is where AKv at the limit persists for longer in the vertical. https://i.imgur ...

Hi! Yes. increasing AKT_LIMIT and AKV_LIMIT to 1 the pattern disappear. I am a bit confused, I think there are some gaps in my understanding. If I set the limit to 1 is it not too high? Doesn't it mean that the model is mixing too much? I am also worried abou the stripes, why the mixing would be ...

Hello everyone, I am trying to set-up the model for the Eastern Pacific with a 20 km resolution and 40 vertical levels. In the northern part there is always a lot of over mixing. I am blaming the mixing since once I turn off LIMIT_VVISC the noise disappears. I think it is due to buoyancy/wind mixing ...
