[MITgcm-support] [EXTERNAL] Issue with surface ocean currents

[Menemenlis, Dimitris (US 329B)]

Hi Kunal, are you “prescribing” the boundary conditions or do you use a sponge?
If the former, I wonder whether the accumulation of turbulence inside the domain could be caused
the reflection of circulation features generated or evolved inside the domain that then
reach the lateral boundaries and are inconsistent with the prescribed obcs?

Hello Dimitris,

I am using SODA (T,S,U and V) as my boundary conditions and EXF forcing from ERA5.

Recently, Martin suggested in a query, not to use leith and smag simultaneously. Guess, I need to change that.

The eddies are becoming too extreme by half of the year, dismantling the circulation.
Thanks,
Kunal
