Global Functions

subroutine, public mom_initialize_fixed(
    G G,
    US US,
    OBC OBC,
    PF PF,
    write_geom write_geom,
    output_dir output_dir
    )

MOM_initialize_fixed sets up time-invariant quantities related to MOM6’s horizontal grid, bathymetry, and the Coriolis parameter.

Parameters:

g	The ocean’s grid structure.
us	A dimensional unit scaling type
obc	Open boundary structure.
pf	A structure indicating the open file to parse for model parameter values.
write_geom	If true, write grid geometry files.
output_dir	The directory into which to write files.

subroutine, public mom_initialize_topography(
    D D,
    max_depth max_depth,
    G G,
    PF PF,
    US US
    )

MOM_initialize_topography makes the appropriate call to set up the bathymetry. At this point the topography is in units of [m], but this can be changed later.

Parameters:

g	The dynamic horizontal grid type
d	Ocean bottom depth [m]
pf	Parameter file structure
max_depth	Maximum depth of model [m]
us	A dimensional unit scaling type
