Summary

The idealized test domain is utilized to study vertical tracer mixing without the presence of advection terms. The tracer starts to mix under the application of a surface stress. The model results are intended to be accessed from the THREDDS data server available through the related external resources. The model NetCDF files are stored on this trusted digital repository to ensure backup and longevity of these data.

Purpose

The wind induced mixed-layer deepening case provides a simplified analysis of mixing processes in the vertical direction. Because of the mixing in vertical direction and no advection, this test case is used to verify the implementation of physical mixing terms in the model. The tracer in consideration is temperature that is initialized by prescribing a vertical linear variation at the surface to the bottom and starts to mix under the application of surface stress.
