[MITgcm-support] Inertial Oscillations

[Dustin Carroll]

Hi Ashley,

Wouldn’t it be simpler to compute time-dependent BC’s for u and v offline...perhaps using a simple model like in Pollard and Millard 1970? I think this is what Dimitris is suggesting here — you can use periodicExternalForcing or the EXF pkg to have the BC’s vary in time.

However, I’m more familiar with prescribing constant velocities at every time step, and not velocities that are dependent upon time and Coriolis in a more precise manner by way of inertial oscillations.  So I guess to be more specific in my original question, I’m not sure if I will need to modify the obcs_calc.F file, or if I can somehow use the “prescribe” option within pkg/obcs to set the boundary conditions for velocity which are dependent upon both time and coriolis.  I know that there is a time forcing component, but I’m just not sure how everything fits together.
