PUBLIC INTERFACE

PUBLIC ROUTINES

1. ocean_nphysics_tensor_init

   DESCRIPTION

   Initialise this module.

   
   
   

2. register fields

   DESCRIPTION

   Register diagnostic fields.

   
   
   

3. compute_tensors

   DESCRIPTION

   Compute the tensor components for the diffusion and skew-diffusion tensor.

   
   
   

4. sine_taper

   DESCRIPTION

   Calculate a sine taper for those points shallower than the given threshold. The depth_function gives the depth (in metres) at each (i,j,k) point. The threshold_depth is the depth (in metres) at each (i,j) point. The returned taper gives a value in the range [0, 1] at each (i,j,k) point, where those points at a depth below the threshold are set to 1.0 and those above approach 0.0 as they approach the surface according to a sine function.

   
   
   

5. diffusion_tensor

   DESCRIPTION

   Compute the components of the neutral diffusion tensor.

   
   
   

6. compute_diffusion_tapers

   DESCRIPTION

   Compute the taper functions to be applied to the components of the diffusion tensor.

   
   
   

7. compute_masked_tensor

   DESCRIPTION

   This function applies the boundary conditions relevent to the flags tmask_neutral_on and tmask_sigma_on.
