    General Ocean Turbulence Model interface for multilayer

    This module interfaces the multilayer solver with GOTM.

    Vertical diffusion of momentum, temperature and salinity is handled by GOTM.

    The temperature and salinity fields are undefined by default. If the calling solver defines them, the corresponding GOTM vertical diffusion routines will be called.

    scalar T = {-1}, S = {-1};

    The surface fluxes of momentum, heat and short-wave radiation are provided as surface fields by the calling solver. They are zero by default.

    // surface wind stress (eg. in Pa or N/m^2)
    (const) vector airsea_tau      = zerof;
    // surface heat flux (eg. in W/m^2)
    (const) scalar airsea_heat_flux = zeroc;
    // surface short-wave radiation flux (eg. in W/m^2)
    (const) scalar airsea_swr_flux  = zeroc;

    Implementation

    It uses the relevant headers from the C interface to GOTM.

    The corresponding GOTM libraries need to be linked. Note that the GOTM environment variable need to point to the proper installation directory.

    The initialisation tries to call the relevant initialisation functions from GOTM, as they appear in the original gotm.F90 source code.

      //             order accurate), \theta=1 for Backward Euler (first-order
      //             accurate). Note that only \theta=1 guarantees positive

    Vertical diffusion is part of the “viscous terms” of the multilayer event loop. We just copy the relevant fields into the corresponding GOTM fields, call GOTM and retrieve the updated fields.

    event viscous_term (i++)
    {
      struct { realtype * x, * y; } gotm_u = { meanflow_u.a, meanflow_v.a };
      struct { realtype * x, * y; } gotm_t = { &airsea_tx, &airsea_ty };
      foreach() {
        memcpy (&meanflow_h.a[1], &h[], nl*sizeof(double));
        foreach_dimension() {
          *gotm_t.x = airsea_tau.x[];
          memcpy (&gotm_u.x[1], &u.x[], nl*sizeof(double));
        }
        if (T.i >= 0)
          memcpy (&meanflow_t.a[1], &T[], nl*sizeof(double));
        if (S.i >= 0)
          memcpy (&meanflow_s.a[1], &S[], nl*sizeof(double));
        
        double z = zb[];    
        foreach_layer() {
          meanflow_z.a[point.l + 1] = z + h[]/2.;
          z += h[];
        }
    
        airsea_heat = airsea_heat_flux[];
        airsea_i_0 = airsea_swr_flux[];
        gotm_step (i);
        
        foreach_dimension()
          memcpy (&u.x[], &gotm_u.x[1], nl*sizeof(double));
        if (T.i >= 0)
          memcpy (&T[], &meanflow_t.a[1], nl*sizeof(double));
        if (S.i >= 0)
          memcpy (&S[], &meanflow_s.a[1], nl*sizeof(double));
      }
    }

    The GOTM cleanup function deallocates Fortran fields etc.

    event cleanup (t = end)
    {
      gotm_clean_up();
    }

    Utility functions

    This function uses GOTM to initialize a vertical temperature profile corresponding to a squared buoyancy frequency NN for a given constant salinity and top temperature.

    void constant_NNT (double T_top, double S_const, double NN,
    		   scalar T)
    {
      foreach() {
        double z = zb[];
        foreach_layer()
          z += h[];
        T[0,0,nl-1] = T_top;
        for (int l = nl - 2; l >= 0; l--) {
          double pFace = G*(z - h[0,0,l]/2.);
          double alpha = eqstate_eos_alpha (&S_const, &T[0,0,l+1], &pFace, &G,
    					&meanflow_rho_0);
          T[0,0,l] = T[0,0,l+1] - 1./(G*alpha)*NN*h[0,0,l];
          z -= h[0,0,l];
        }
      }
    }
