! === module MOM ===
SPLIT = True ! [Boolean] default = True
! Use the split time stepping if true.
CALC_RHO_FOR_SEA_LEVEL = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, the in-situ density is used to calculate the
! effective sea level that is returned to the coupler. If false,
! the Boussinesq parameter RHO_0 is used.
ENABLE_THERMODYNAMICS = False ! [Boolean] default = True
! If true, Temperature and salinity are used as state
! variables.
USE_EOS = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, density is calculated from temperature and
! salinity with an equation of state. If USE_EOS is
! true, ENABLE_THERMODYNAMICS must be true as well.
DIABATIC_FIRST = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, apply diabatic and thermodynamic processes,
! including buoyancy forcing and mass gain or loss,
! before stepping the dynamics forward.
USE_CONTEMP_ABSSAL = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, the prognostics T&S are the conservative temperature
! and absolute salinity. Care should be taken to convert them
! to potential temperature and practical salinity before
! exchanging them with the coupler and/or reporting T&S diagnostics.
ADIABATIC = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! There are no diapycnal mass fluxes if ADIABATIC is
! true. This assumes that KD = KDML = 0.0 and that
! there is no buoyancy forcing, but makes the model
! faster by eliminating subroutine calls.
USE_LEGACY_DIABATIC_DRIVER = True ! [Boolean] default = True
! If true, use the a legacy version of the diabatic subroutine.
! This is temporary and is needed avoid change in answers.
OFFLINE_TRACER_MODE = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, barotropic and baroclinic dynamics, thermodynamics
! are all bypassed with all the fields necessary to integrate
! the tracer advection and diffusion equation are read in from
! files stored from a previous integration of the prognostic model.
! NOTE: This option only used in the ocean_solo_driver.
USE_REGRIDDING = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If True, use the ALE algorithm (regridding/remapping).
! If False, use the layered isopycnal algorithm.
BULKMIXEDLAYER = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, use a Kraus-Turner-like bulk mixed layer
! with transitional buffer layers. Layers 1 through
! NKML+NKBL have variable densities. There must be at
! least NKML+NKBL+1 layers if BULKMIXEDLAYER is true.
! BULKMIXEDLAYER can not be used with USE_REGRIDDING.
! The default is influenced by ENABLE_THERMODYNAMICS.
THICKNESSDIFFUSE = True ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, interface heights are diffused with a
! coefficient of KHTH.
THICKNESSDIFFUSE_FIRST = True ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, do thickness diffusion before dynamics.
! This is only used if THICKNESSDIFFUSE is true.
BATHYMETRY_AT_VEL = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, there are separate values for the basin depths
! at velocity points. Otherwise the effects of topography
! are entirely determined from thickness points.
DT = 5400.0 ! [s]
! The (baroclinic) dynamics time step. The time-step that
! is actually used will be an integer fraction of the
! forcing time-step (DT_FORCING in ocean-only mode or the
! coupling timestep in coupled mode.)
DT_THERM = 5400.0 ! [s] default = 5400.0
! The thermodynamic and tracer advection time step.
! Ideally DT_THERM should be an integer multiple of DT
! and less than the forcing or coupling time-step, unless
! THERMO_SPANS_COUPLING is true, in which case DT_THERM
! can be an integer multiple of the coupling timestep. By
! default DT_THERM is set to DT.
THERMO_SPANS_COUPLING = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, the MOM will take thermodynamic and tracer
! timesteps that can be longer than the coupling timestep.
! The actual thermodynamic timestep that is used in this
! case is the largest integer multiple of the coupling
! timestep that is less than or equal to DT_THERM.
HMIX_SFC_PROP = 100.0 ! [m] default = 1.0
! If BULKMIXEDLAYER is false, HMIX_SFC_PROP is the depth
! over which to average to find surface properties like
! SST and SSS or density (but not surface velocities).
HMIX_UV_SFC_PROP = 100.0 ! [m] default = 0.0
! If BULKMIXEDLAYER is false, HMIX_UV_SFC_PROP is the depth
! over which to average to find surface flow properties,
! SSU, SSV. A non-positive value indicates no averaging.
MIN_Z_DIAG_INTERVAL = 0.0 ! [s] default = 0.0
! The minimum amount of time in seconds between
! calculations of depth-space diagnostics. Making this
! larger than DT_THERM reduces the performance penalty
! of regridding to depth online.
INTERPOLATE_P_SURF = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, linearly interpolate the surface pressure
! over the coupling time step, using the specified value
! at the end of the step.
DTBT_RESET_PERIOD = 0.0 ! [s] default = 5400.0
! The period between recalculations of DTBT (if DTBT <= 0).
! If DTBT_RESET_PERIOD is negative, DTBT is set based
! only on information available at initialization. If 0,
! DTBT will be set every dynamics time step. The default
! is set by DT_THERM. This is only used if SPLIT is true.
FIRST_DIRECTION = 0 ! default = 0
! An integer that indicates which direction goes first
! in parts of the code that use directionally split
! updates, with even numbers (or 0) used for x- first
! and odd numbers used for y-first.
CHECK_BAD_SURFACE_VALS = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, check the surface state for ridiculous values.
SAVE_INITIAL_CONDS = True ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, write the initial conditions to a file given
! by IC_OUTPUT_FILE.
IC_OUTPUT_FILE = "MOM_IC" ! default = "MOM_IC"
! The file into which to write the initial conditions.
WRITE_GEOM = 1 ! default = 1
! If =0, never write the geometry and vertical grid files.
! If =1, write the geometry and vertical grid files only for
! a new simulation. If =2, always write the geometry and
! vertical grid files. Other values are invalid.
ENSEMBLE_OCEAN = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If False, The model is being run in serial mode as a single realization.
! If True, The current model realization is part of a larger ensemble
! and at the end of step MOM, we will perform a gather of the ensemble
! members for statistical evaluation and/or data assimilation.
! === module MOM_domains ===
REENTRANT_X = True ! [Boolean] default = True
! If true, the domain is zonally reentrant.
REENTRANT_Y = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, the domain is meridionally reentrant.
TRIPOLAR_N = False ! [Boolean] default = False
! Use tripolar connectivity at the northern edge of the
! domain. With TRIPOLAR_N, NIGLOBAL must be even.
NIGLOBAL = 60 !
! The total number of thickness grid points in the
! x-direction in the physical domain. With STATIC_MEMORY_
! this is set in MOM_memory.h at compile time.
NJGLOBAL = 55 !
! The total number of thickness grid points in the
! y-direction in the physical domain. With STATIC_MEMORY_
