[MITgcm-support] What is the use of "gendata.m" in "verification/tutorial_barotropic_gyre"?

[Moon]

Hi Jody,
Thanks for your advice! By "intergrate...", I mean, just as you put it, "use the MITgcm for solitary wave simulations appropriate to the South China Sea". In fact, I've read some paper of Q. Li and D. Farmer, but didn't notice their papers related to MITgcm. I'll try to get in touch with them.
Thanks again:)!
Moon

Actually I have derived an N-soliton solution which can describe internal solitary wave (ISW) and I'm willing to use MITgcm to conduct some simulations on it. But....here come the questions:


1) Is it possible to integrate my solution into MITgcm? What should I do?


What do you mean by "integrate my solution into MITgcm"?  MITgcm is a fully non-linear code.  You run the code with appropriate forcing and boundary conditions to get solitons. In your case, you will definitely need the non-hydrostatic term.  


2) I've learned that all the packages used in a specific experiment are wrote in packages.conf. Do you know the minimum set of packages we need while investigating ISW?


You should be fine with the "gfd" package for the basics. You may want to think about your turbulence scheme, and there are a few choices (though none of them terribly good for solitary waves).  I'm pretty sure Q. Li and D. Farmer used the MITgcm for solitary wave simulations appropriate to the South China Sea - you might check their papers, or contact them directly.  


Cheers,   Jody
