Description
Renamed cpp option BIO_FASHAM to BIO_FENNEL to avoid some confusions. It seems that there are some users publishing results with this model. The version in ROMS is very loosely based on Fasham et al. (1990) model. Users should cite the Fennel et al. (2006) reference to be more accurate. This version of the model have evolved substantially over the last few years and became a quite different model with a lot of options.
The routine fasham.h was also renamed to fennel.h. The following information was added to fennel.h to provide a better information about this ecosystem model:
! This routine computes the biological sources and sinks for the ! Fennel et at. (2006) ecosystem model. Then, it adds those terms ! to the global biological fields. ! ! This model is loosly based on the model by Fasham et al. (1990) ! but it differs in many respects. The detailed equations of the ! nitrogen cycling component are given in Fennel et al. (2006). ! Nitrogen is the fundamental elemental currency in this model. ! This model was adapted from a code written originally by John ! Moisan and Emanule DiLorenzo. ! ! It is recommended to activate always the "BIO_SEDIMENT" option ! to ensure conservation of mass by converting the organic matter ! that is sinking out of the bottom most grid cell into inorganic ! nutrients (i.e., instantanaous remineralization at the water- ! sediment interface). Additionally, the "DENITRIFICATION" option ! can be activated. Hence, a fraction of the instantenous bottom ! remineralization is assumed to occur through the anearobic ! (denitrification) pathway and thus lost from the pool of ! biologically availalbe fixed nitrogen. See Fennel et al. (2006) ! for details. ! ! Additional options can be activated to enable simulation of ! inorganic carbon and dissolved oxygen. Accounting of inorganic ! carbon is activated by the "CARBON" option, and results in two ! additional biological tracer variables: DIC and alkalinity. ! See Fennel et al. (2008) for details. ! ! If the "pCO2_RZ" options is activated, in addition to "CARBON", ! the carbonate system routines by Zeebe and Wolf-Gladrow (2001) ! are used, while the OCMIP standard routines are the default. ! There are two different ways of treating alkalinity. It can be ! treated diagnostically (default), in this case alkalinity acts ! like a passive tracer that is not affected by changes in the ! concentration of nitrate or ammonium. However, if the option ! "TALK_NONCONSERV" is used, the alkalinity will be affected by ! sources and sinks in nitrate. See Fennel et al. (2008) for more ! details. ! ! If the "OXYGEN" option is activated, one additional biological ! tracer variable for dissolved oxygen. "OXYGEN" can be activated ! independently of the "CARBON" option. If "OCMIP_OXYGEN_SC" is ! used, in addition to "OXYGEN", the Schmidt number of oxygen in ! seawater will be computed using the formulation proposed by ! Keeling et al. (1998, Global Biogeochem. Cycles, 12, 141-163). ! Otherwise, the Wanninkhof's (1992) formula will be used. ! ! References: ! ! Fennel, K., Wilkin, J., Levin, J., Moisan, J., O'Reilly, J., !
