[MITgcm-support] 回复： barotropic nondivergent run

[钱钰坤]

Hi Matt,


Thanks for your reply but it seems a little odd to me that the model is always non-divergent, at least for horizontal non-divergent (not 3D non-divergent).


For atmosphere simulation, horizontal non-divergent model may limit the evolution of synoptic systems.  For non-hydrostatic simulation in the ocean, non-divergent dynamics is also improper.


I can find a pre-defined momentum diagnostic monHDIV representing the horizontal divergence.


As I see, in a barotropic model described by three variables (u, v, h), free surface (h) variations are caused by mass convergence/divergence.  When the non-divergence constrain is put, the model can be reduced to only a single variable streamfunction.  Then how can I used MITgcm to mimic such dynamics?

Hi Yu-Kun

The MITgcm is always non-divergent

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.
