A “pressure correction” method used solved as a Poisson equation pressure field with Neumann boundary conditions in geometry complicated that basins. major objective study make this inversion, and hence nonhydrostatic modeling, efficient parallel computers. separated into surface,...
Ocean models based on consistent hydrostatic, quasi‐hydrostatic, and nonhydrostatic equation sets are formulated discussed. The quasi‐hydrostatic more accurate than the widely used hydrostatic primitive equations. Quasi‐hydrostatic relax precise balance between gravity pressure gradient forces by including in a manner cosine‐of‐latitude Coriolis terms which neglected models. Nonhydrostatic employ full incompressible Navier Stokes equations; they required study of small‐scale phenomena ocean...
Abstract. This paper presents the ECCO v4 non-linear inverse modeling framework and its baseline solution for evolving ocean state over period 1992–2011. Both components are publicly available subjected to regular, automated regression tests. The includes sets of global conformal grids, a model setup, implementations data constraints control parameters, an interface algorithmic differentiation, as well grid-independent, fully capable Matlab toolbox. is dynamically consistent estimate without...
Height coordinate ocean models commonly represent topography as a “staircase” of discontinuous steps that are fitted to the model grid. Here ramifications an alternative approach studied in which “shaved cells” used irregular topography. The problem is formulated using finite-volume method and care taken ensure discrete forms have appropriate conservation properties. Two representations topography, “partial step” “piecewise linear,” considered compared with staircase some standard problems...

Target applications range from operational numerical weather prediction to climate-system change predictability studies.
A promising approach to improve climate-model simulations is replace traditional subgrid parameterizations based on simplified physical models by machine learning algorithms that are data-driven. However, neural networks (NNs) often lead instabilities and climate drift when coupled an atmospheric model. Here we learn NN parameterization from a high-resolution simulation in idealized domain coarse graining the model equations output. The has structure ensures constraints respected, it leads...
