3.13 Surface Driven Convection
Figure 3.10:
Schematic of simulation domain
for the surface driven convection experiment. The domain is doubly periodic
with an initially uniform temperature of 20 .

This experiment, figure 3.10, showcasing MITgcm's non-hydrostatic capability, was designed to explore
the temporal and spatial characteristics of convection plumes as they might exist during a
period of oceanic deep convection. It is
- non-hydrostatic
- doubly-periodic with cubic geometry
- has 50 m resolution
- Cartesian
- is on an -plane
- with a linear equation of state
