Global Functions

logical function, public register_advection_test_tracer(
    HI HI,
    GV GV,
    param_file param_file,
    CS CS,
    tr_Reg tr_Reg,
    restart_CS restart_CS
    )

Register tracer fields and subroutines to be used with MOM.

Parameters:

hi	A horizontal index type structure
gv	The ocean’s vertical grid structure
param_file	A structure to parse for run-time parameters
cs	The control structure returned by a previous call to register_advection_test_tracer.
tr_reg	A pointer that is set to point to the control structure for the tracer advection and diffusion module
restart_cs	A pointer to the restart control structure

subroutine, public initialize_advection_test_tracer(
    restart restart,
    day day,
    G G,
    GV GV,
    h h,
    diag diag,
    OBC OBC,
    CS CS,
    sponge_CSp sponge_CSp
    )

Initializes the NTR tracer fields in tr(:,:,:,:) and it sets up the tracer output.

Parameters:

restart	.true. if the fields have already been read from a restart file.
day	Time of the start of the run.
g	The ocean’s grid structure
gv	The ocean’s vertical grid structure
h	Layer thicknesses [H ~> m or kg m-2]
diag	A structure that is used to regulate diagnostic output.
obc	This open boundary condition type specifies whether, where, and what open boundary conditions are used.
cs	The control structure returned by a previous call to register_advection_test_tracer.
sponge_csp	Pointer to the control structure for the sponges.

subroutine, public advection_test_tracer_column_physics(
    h_old h_old,
    h_new h_new,
    ea ea,
    eb eb,
    fluxes fluxes,
    dt dt,
    G G,
    GV GV,
    CS CS,
    evap_CFL_limit evap_CFL_limit,
    minimum_forcing_depth minimum_forcing_depth
    )

Applies diapycnal diffusion and any other column tracer physics or chemistry to the tracers from this package. This is a simple example of a set of advected passive tracers.

Parameters:

g	The ocean’s grid structure
gv	The ocean’s vertical grid structure
h_old	Layer thickness before entrainment [H ~> m or kg m-2].
h_new	Layer thickness after entrainment [H ~> m or kg m-2].
ea	an array to which the amount of fluid entrained
eb	an array to which the amount of fluid entrained
fluxes	A structure containing pointers to thermodynamic and tracer forcing fields. Unused fields have NULL ptrs.
dt	The amount of time covered by this call [s]
cs	The control structure returned by a previous call to register_advection_test_tracer.
evap_cfl_limit	Limit on the fraction of the water that can be fluxed out of the top layer in a timestep [nondim]
minimum_forcing_depth	The smallest depth over which fluxes can be applied [m]

subroutine, public advection_test_tracer_surface_state(
    state state,
    h h,
    G G,
    CS CS
    )

This subroutine extracts the surface fields from this tracer package that are to be shared with the atmosphere in coupled configurations. This particular tracer package does not report anything back to the coupler.

Parameters:

g	The ocean’s grid structure.
state	A structure containing fields that describe the surface state of the ocean.
h	Layer thickness [H ~> m or kg m-2].
cs	The control structure returned by a previous call to register_advection_test_tracer.

integer function, public advection_test_stock(
    h h,
    stocks stocks,
    G G,
    GV GV,
    CS CS,
    names names,
    units units,
    stock_index stock_index
    )

Calculate the mass-weighted integral of all tracer stocks, returning the number of stocks it has calculated. If the stock_index is present, only the stock corresponding to that coded index is returned.

Parameters:

g	The ocean’s grid structure
h	Layer thicknesses [H ~> m or kg m-2]
stocks	the mass-weighted integrated amount of each tracer, in kg times concentration units [kg conc].
gv	The ocean’s vertical grid structure
cs	The control structure returned by a previous call to register_advection_test_tracer.
names	the names of the stocks calculated.
units	the units of the stocks calculated.
stock_index	the coded index of a specific stock being sought.

Returns:

the number of stocks calculated here.

subroutine, public advection_test_tracer_end(CS CS)

Deallocate memory associated with this module.

Parameters:

cs	The control structure returned by a previous call to register_advection_test_tracer.
