type  mom_meke_types/meke_type

This type is used to exchange information related to the MEKE calculations.

Type fields:

  • % meke :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable Vertically averaged eddy kinetic energy [L2 T-2 ~> m2 s-2].

  • % gm_src :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable MEKE source due to thickness mixing (GM) [R Z L2 T-3 ~> W m-2].

  • % mom_src :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable MEKE source from lateral friction in the momentum equations [R Z L2 T-3 ~> W m-2].

  • % mom_src_bh :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable MEKE source from the biharmonic part of the lateral friction in the momentum equations [R Z L2 T-3 ~> W m-2].

  • % gme_snk :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable MEKE sink from GME backscatter in the momentum equations [R Z L2 T-3 ~> W m-2].

  • % kh :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable The MEKE-derived lateral mixing coefficient [L2 T-1 ~> m2 s-1].

  • % kh_diff :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable Uses the non-MEKE-derived thickness diffusion coefficient to diffuse MEKE [L2 T-1 ~> m2 s-1].

  • % rd_dx_h :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable The deformation radius compared with the grid spacing [nondim]. Rd_dx_h is copied from VarMix_CS.

  • % ku :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable The MEKE-derived lateral viscosity coefficient [L2 T-1 ~> m2 s-1]. This viscosity can be negative when representing backscatter from unresolved eddies (see Jansen and Held, 2014).

  • % au :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable The MEKE-derived lateral biharmonic viscosity coefficient [L4 T-1 ~> m4 s-1].

  • % le :: real, dimension(:,:), allocatable Eddy length scale [L ~> m].

  • % khth_fac :: real Multiplier to map Kh(MEKE) to KhTh [nondim].

  • % khtr_fac :: real Multiplier to map Kh(MEKE) to KhTr [nondim].

  • % backscatter_ro_pow :: real Power in Rossby number function for backscatter [nondim].

  • % backscatter_ro_c :: real Coefficient in Rossby number function for backscatter [nondim].
