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-coord
inate, 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, anal
yze 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.
