Turn on the Tides (ToTs)
Yumi Abe, Clément Bertin, Hugo Plombat, Hinne Van Der Zant, Rebecca Zaj

What happens when we turn on the tides in ECCO V4r5?

Developments

  • Add spice tidal Toolkit developed by Oliver Jahn at MIT and port it to ECCOv4r5 solution + Debugging.

Simulations

  • 5 years with monthly diagnostics.
  • 1 year with hourly diagnostics.

Outcomes

  • LLC90 capture tidal amplitude and phase in the open ocean. Coastal ocean is however less consistent.
  • An increase in the ocean water volume has been observed resulting from a decrease of the sea ice volume in the Arctic Ocean.
  • We observe an enhanced vertical mixing (deeper MLD) showing an increase in the heat water flux further increasing the melting of Arctic sea ice.
