Is there a separate boundary layer equations solved for surface wind forcing and bottom boundary layer in Phillips two layer model in MOM6 or they are directly applied to top and bottom layers?
Thank you!

Surface wind forcing and bottom drag in Phillips two layer model
- Thread starter Shikhar Rai
- Start date
The surface boundary layer option is not enabled in the Phillips two-layer example (BULKMIXEDLAYER = False). The wind stress is distributed over the top-most 20 m.
DIRECT_STRESS = True ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, the wind stress is distributed over the topmost HMIX_STRESS of fluid
! (like in HYCOM), and KVML may be set to a very small value.
HMIX_STRESS = 20.0 ! [m] default = 20.0
! The depth over which the wind stress is applied if DIRECT_STRESS is true.
DIRECT_STRESS = True ! [Boolean] default = False
! If true, the wind stress is distributed over the topmost HMIX_STRESS of fluid
! (like in HYCOM), and KVML may be set to a very small value.
HMIX_STRESS = 20.0 ! [m] default = 20.0
! The depth over which the wind stress is applied if DIRECT_STRESS is true.
Thank you so much for your reply.
So the force in x direction is tau_x/HMIX_STRESS not tau_x/h1? here h1 means the layer thickness of top layer.

Thank you very much.
