Future Topics

A backlog of topics proposed for future "Decoding MOM6" sessions. These don't have notes yet — get in touch with @chrisb13 or @adele-morrison if you'd like to present one.

  • Pressure solver - barotropic / baroclinic split
  • Timestepping / Advection schemes
  • Vertical velocity diagnostics
  • MEKE
  • EPBL
  • KPP
  • Submesoscale parameterisation
  • Ice shelf code
  • Ocean fresh-water forcing / water balance
  • How to create a new MOM6 diagnostic
  • Horizontal viscosity
  • Advection schemes
  • Bottom drag (Callum? Luwei?)
  • Opacity for shortwave penetration
  • For low res: GM / Redi eddy params
  • Explicit tides, self attraction and loading
  • Regional boundary conditions
  • Bulk formulae
  • How to work out how a diagnostic was calculated (general syntax + keywords to search for)
  • Different initialisation options - thickness + tracers, topography (all these preset options)
  • Coord config vs use_regridding (layer vs ale mode) - how to change your vertical coordinate or target coordinate and what it means
  • Regridding of diagnostics and vanished layer output - how to change in diag_table, what it means for output
  • Equations of state and different types of salinity, temperature in initialisation, model running and output
  • What does the sea ice model do for the ocean ?
  • MOM5/MOM6 code differences?
  • Shear mixing
  • Internal tide mixing
  • Lee wave mixing
  • Bottom boundary mixing
  • Background mixing
