Tonkin Gulf tidal modelling

Structured grid's files:

• roms grid
• SYMPHONIE notebook grid
• Land/sea polygons

General input files:

• mesh file (rescue)
• boundary codes file (rescue)
• bathymetry file (rescue, optional)

Tidal input files

• T-UGOm spectral input file (quadratic friction)
• T-UGOm spectral input file (linear friction)
• tidal boundary conditions file (rescue)
• spectrum file

Preliminary step:

First, go to today's directory :

cd ~/tuesday

Make sure you have exported the environment variables :

. export_path_aerotp

Exercise I: unstructured grid creation from a structured one

T-UGOm spectral tidal solver can be used to rapidly compute a tidal atlas from a structured grid.

Exercise II: tidal simulation

1. generation of model input files
2. model setting
3. tidal simulations
4. validation against tide gauges and altimetry
