[MITgcm-devel] Tidying up

[Chris Hill]

Hi All,

 We need to get a table of timeave outputs together for people looking at
the high-res CS run.

 Is there any information on the location and units of the time averages
from the pkg/timeave anywhere in the current manual? I took a look, but
couldn't find anything. 

 On the Wiki it looks like CNH, AJA and JMC are down to add material for
pkg/timeave, so if nobody has done anything I will start.

This is the table in pkg/TIMEAVE_STAV.h. 

C     TimeAve_*    :: time of temporal integration (s) *** for each thread
***
C     TimeAve_half :: half time_step multiple (used for state variables)
C     TimeAve_full :: full time_step multiple (used for for intermediate
var.) 
C     uFluxtave    :: zonal surface wind stress (N/m^2,
C                     >0 for increase in uVel, i=1 held at western face)
C     vFluxtave    :: meridional surface wind stress (N/m^2,
C                     >0 for increase in vVel, j=1 held at southern face)
C     tFluxtave    :: net surface heat flux (W/m^2, >0 for increase in
theta)
C     sFluxtave    :: net surface salt flux (g/m^2/s, >0 for increase in
salt)
C     etatave      :: surface displacement (r unit, i.e. ocean:z, atmos:p)
C     uVeltave     :: zonal velocity (m/s, i=1 held at western face)
C     vVeltave     :: meridional velocity (m/s, j=1 held at southern face)
C     wVeltave     :: vertical velocity ([r]/s, i.e.: ocean:m/s atmos:Pa/s)
C     thetatave    :: potential temperature (oC, held at pressure/tracer
point)
C     salttave     :: salinity (ppt, held at pressure/tracer point)
C     Eta2tave     :: eta * eta
C     TTtave       :: theta * theta
C     UUtave       :: uVel * uVel (used to compute the averaged KE)
C     VVtave       :: vVel * vVel (used to compute the averaged KE)
C     UVtave       :: uVel * vVel (at vorticity point, i.e. grid-corner)
C     KEtave       :: Kinetic Energy

C     uZetatave    :: uVel*Relativ_Vorticity_3 (computed at v point)
C     vZetatave    :: vVel*Relativ_Vorticity_3 (computed at u point)
C     phiHydtave   :: Hydrostatic (ocean) pressure / (atmos) geo- Potential
C     phiHydLowtave:: Hydrostatic (ocean) pressure / (atmos) geo- Potential
C                     at the fixed boundary: (ocean) bottom pressure
