Hello,
What is the effect of T_cline in the height of the sigma vertical levels?
Does this affects the mixing layer?
Thank you,
Mauro
Understanding T_cline
You can find scripts that allow you to experiment with the vertical grid parameters in part of the discussion thread "Stretching parameters - vertical coordinates" on this bulletin board. There is also some discussion of these parameters in the old manual for SCRUM, which can be found at
http://marine.rutgers.edu/po/models/scrum.html
One issue is that the model uses the minimum of T_cline and the smallest water depth in the grid to determine the region of high resolution near the surface. However, when the minimum depth is calculated, it includes depths inside the land mask! This is probably a bug, and I will try to send a bug report in on it soon, as soon as find the code and fix it. (bug reports without working code are just whineing...)
