Iinital condition and Spin up

For the spin-up procedure, a methodology based on a slow connection of the forcing terms (baroclinic force, windstress) is used. This methodology consists of defining an initial condition where the initial fields of salinity and temperature are interpolated from the external 3D solution (MyOcean or RTOFS), a null velocity field is assumed, and a SSH field with null gradient is also considered. A coefficient that varies linearly between 0 and 1 along the “connection” period of 5 days is multiplied by the baroclinic force and wind stress. Because the forces are slowly connected, the velocity reference solution of the OBC also needs to be slowly connected. The nudging term in the momentum equation is multiplied by a coefficient C given by:

C=(Elapsed Time/Connection Period)^4;     Elapsed Time<Connection Period

C=1                                 ;     Elapsed Time>=Connection Period

In this way, the velocity field near the boundary also converges slowly to the reference solution. To minimize the perturbations suffered by the initial condition of salinity and temperature along the spin-up period, a relaxation period variable in time was also assumed for these properties. The idea is to assume a relaxation period that increases with time; this way, in the beginning of the run the temperature and salinity fields have a stronger nudging when the external and internal activity is more intense due to the spin-up process. In the end of the spin-up period, the nudging in the model interior (out of the FRS area) is null. For the forces, a connection coefficient was assumed with a linear evolution over 5 days. For the reference solution a quadratic evolution was imposed. For the slow connection of the forcing mechanisms, the methodology followed by Mellor (2004) for the baroclinic force was assumed. This evolution allows, in the first instants, a strong nudging across the entire domain. With time, the model tends to be free except in the flow relaxation scheme area.
