[ecco-support] How to generate the input forcing field

[Wang, Ou (329B)]

Qihua,

Could you be more specific about what kind of forcings that you wanted to generate?

ECCO v4r3’s forcing files<ftp://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/Version4/Release3/input_forcing/> can be easily read using the Matlab toolbox gcmfaces<http://wwwcvs.mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/matlab_class/>. The user guide<http://wwwcvs.mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/matlab_class/gcmfaces.pdf?revision=1.12&view=co> of gcmfaces provides useful information about how to install and make use of the toolbox.

The directions of the forcings can be found in the overview document<ftp://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/Version4/Release3/doc/v4r3_overview.pdf> of v4r3 (Table 5 in section 3.9).

Best,
Ou Wang

Dear officer,

Sorry to disturb you. Recently I run ECCO and I'd like to use the my own forcing field, I'd like to my own forcing data to fit for LLC90 grid. But I don't know how to generate this forcing files by myself. So could you please send me any matlab scripts associated with generating  the input forcing field?

As I know the wind stress has some special  rules such as positive zonal wind stress indicates wind from east to west (which is opposite to our normal understanding). I was also wondering if there are any other special rules for the input forcing field. Actually I didn't see these rules in the readme file. I'll be very grateful if anyone can send me some instruction files about these special rules.

Thanks so much and happy new year!

Regards,

Qihua
