This course introduces the fundamentals of numerical simulation of ocean circulation, including basics of
programming language (Fortran), the differential format of terms in governing equations of Physical Oceanography,
horizontal curvilinear grid and vertical s-coordinate, initial and boundary conditions, explicit and implicit methods, high-
performance parallel computation, visualization of simulation and analysis methods. Students are required to develop,
tune and validate the Virtual Ocean System by themselves, analyze and visualize the model results from this system,
investigate the simulated multiscale oceanic processes, conduct sensitivity experiments and project the understandings
to study the real ocean circulations.

预达学习成果 Learning Outcomes
本课程在高年级以双语授课，要求学生掌握 Fortran 编程语言基础，海洋环流控制方程的数值解及其数学表述和数值方法
实现，区域海洋环流模拟系统框架下“虚拟海洋系统”的搭建、调优、验证方法，数值模拟结果的可视化和过程分析，以
及与现实海洋过程结合实现关键动力过程的清晰表达。课程中涉及物理海洋学基本数据的获取和数值分析等实践内容，与
理论学习相互补充，拓展学生的研究能力。
This course will be delivered in both Chinese and English for upper-division undergraduates (mostly seniors after year 2)
and graduate students, and by the end of the semester, students are expected to fully understand not only the basics of
programming language (Fortran) and numerical solutions for the governing equations of ocean circulation, but also
develop the capability to independently develop, tune and validate a “Virtual Ocean System”, analyze and visualize the
model results from this system and investigate the simulated multiscale oceanic processes that reveal the dynamics
governing the ocean circulation of real oceans. This course will also evolve the technologies of ocean observations and
numerical analyses, as essential complementary practices to help the students deepen their understandings on the key
oceanic processes.
