[MITgcm-support] barotropic nondivergent run

[钱钰坤]

Hi all,


I want to investigate the wind-driven ocean dynamics using QG barotropic nondivergent setup of MITgcm.  So far as I know, QG (quasi-geostrophic) means using Cartesian coordinates with f0 and sbeta set in parameter file 'data' to mimic beta-plane approximation.  Barotropics means that only one single layer is used in the model.  I've no idea how to constrain the model to produce nondivergent flow.


I guess using the rigid lid option to force the flow nondivergent but I'm not sure.  Can anyone give some suggestions?  Many thanks in advance.
