4.3. A NON-HYDROSTATIC FLAT-BOTTOM OCEAN MODEL ENTIRELY BASE ON FOURIER EX 82 A. Wirth / Ocean Modelling 9 (2005) 71–87 When the results from both publications differed, our results were closer to those from Jones and Marshall (1993).

Conclusions tel-00545911, version 1 - 13 Dec 2010 We have introduced a new method of implementing a free-slip rigid-lid and a flat-bottom noslip boundary conditions in ocean models based on Fourier expansion (in all spatial directions). The method is inspired by the immersed or virtual boundary technique. Our method, however, explicitly depletes the velocity on the boundary induced by the pressure while at the same time respecting the incompressibility of the flow field. Using our method the reduction of spurious velocities at the boundaries is only constrained by the computer precision. No constraints, other than CFL, on the time step due to imposing boundary conditions appear. No filtering of the velocity field is necessary and spurious oscillations remain at a negligible level. The method was tested in various flow configurations involving horizontal boundaries, three of which were shown here. The method is not restricted to horizontal boundaries. Extensions of our method to ocean models with a realistic topography are discussed and further research on this matter is currently under way. We conclude by reminding the reader that the power of pseudo-spectral method based on Fourier expansion lies not only in their convergence properties but even more in the fact, that the number of operations needed for one time-step is Oðn logðnÞÞ, where n is the number of degrees of freedom in the problem. An increase of computer power over time, thus, continually increases the advantage of models based on Fourier expansion. Acknowledgements I am grateful to A. Lanotte, B. Barnier, Y. Morel, K.

Convergence properties In this appendix, we explore the convergence properties of the spatial discretization by numerical experiment. To this end errors due to the temporal discretization, being third order in time, have to be reduced. We thus consider a spin-up integration towards a stationary state. The same problem has then to be integrated for different spatial resolutions using the same time-step. To insure the feasibility of such endeavour a simple but challenging test problem has to be chosen. The problem chosen is two dimensional, that is a vertical slice through the ocean that spans 1000 m in the horizontal and the vertical direction. The sea surface is modeled by a free-slip and the
