Initialization for the “Neverland” configuration.

Global Functions

subroutine, public neverland_initialize_topography(
    D D,
    G G,
    param_file param_file,
    max_depth max_depth
    )

This subroutine sets up the Neverland test case topography.

Parameters:

g	The dynamic horizontal grid type
d	Ocean bottom depth in the units of depth_max
param_file	Parameter file structure
max_depth	Maximum ocean depth in arbitrary units

subroutine, public neverland_initialize_thickness(
    h h,
    G G,
    GV GV,
    US US,
    param_file param_file,
    eqn_of_state eqn_of_state,
    P_ref P_ref
    )

This subroutine initializes layer thicknesses for the Neverland test case, by finding the depths of interfaces in a specified latitude-dependent temperature profile with an exponentially decaying thermocline on top of a linear stratification.

Parameters:

g	The ocean’s grid structure.
gv	The ocean’s vertical grid structure.
us	A dimensional unit scaling type
h	The thickness that is being initialized [H ~> m or kg m-2].
param_file	A structure indicating the open file to parse for model parameter values.
eqn_of_state	integer that selects the equation of state.
p_ref	The coordinate-density reference pressure [Pa].
