A Gulf of Finland (GoF) configuration for the NEMO ocean model.
This setup has 0.25 NM (nautical mile) or approximately 500 m horizontal resolution.
The version in this repository is a development version of the configuration that uses NEMO 4. There are bound to be bugs and suboptimal settings. Any settings may change without prior warning.
Sevaral papers that use this configuration have been published. Those papers use earlier versions of the configuration and mainly NEMO 3.6. Notable changes have taken place both in the settings and inputs. Please take this into consideration when using this setup.
Some basic validation of this setup has been performed, but this setup has not yet been as thoroughly validated as previous versions.
The EXP00 directory has a small one day test run of the configuration. The test run uses FMI HIRLAM atmospheric forcing and Copernicus CMEMS boundary condition. To run, you'll need to compile NEMO 4 with seaice and NetCDF 4. You can use the SPITZ12 setup as a starting point.
Your makenemo line may look something like:
./makenemo -r SPITZ12 -n NEMOGOF -m yourarch add_key key_netcdf4
and cpp file:
bld::tool::fppkeys key_mpp_mpi key_iomput key_si3 key_netcdf4
The NEMO version used here is the release-4.0 branch. There are no source code changes. Repository revision 11342 has been tested.
This configuration is based on the original work by Roman Vankevich, see Vankevich et al. (2016).
Since then, it has been further developed at the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) by Antti Westerlund. See Westerlund et al. (2018, 2019) and Westerlund (2018).
If you refer to this configuration in your work, please cite at least Vankevich et al. (2016) and Westerlund et al. (2019).
