affect by Uwind and Vwind

#1 Unread post by wjlee »

Hello! everyone.!

I think ROMS is affected by Uwind and Vwind alot in shallow depth of water.
How about your think ?
and
I'd like to know methods to reduce effects of those valuables.

sincerely thank you.!!

You think the effect of winds is too strong? How are you obtaining wind stress from wind? It is known that the BULK_FLUXES stress algorithm is too strong in the case of high winds, also it doesn't account for the currents (it is a function of winds only, not of winds-currents).

This is your 2-D case? You might try out a stronger bottom drag where it gets shallow.

Hello! Thank you for your reply

I run 3-D ROMS. I calculate wind stress by using the BULK_FLUXES in the ROMS.
I set 2 models. One of the models is Pair, Uwind, Vwind and tides(TPXO6) as input. and the other is tides(TPXO6) only as input.
There is no diffrence between 2 models except for the inputs.
I run the 2 models respectively and substract zeta of one model from zeta of the oher model. so I got the differences. Its values were reasonalbe in the most of regions but values in shallow depth of water were very big.
so I just doubt the inputs. but I don't know what to do now.

How about your think ?

Please let me know.
thank you.
