NIVA OXYDEP wind speed dependency

[Mehrnoosh-Abbasian]

Hello everyone,

I am currently running GOTM-FABM and using the NIVA OxyDep model. In the nivaoxydep.f90 file, it seems that the model might depend on wind speed as a time series, but I'm not entirely sure. Could anyone help confirm if wind speed is indeed used as a time series in this model?

Hi Mehrnoosh,

Yes, wind speed is required to calculate air-sea flux of oxygen in nivaoxydep.F90.

Cheers,

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE.

For completeness, oxydep requests wind speed with this line. If you use FABM/oxydep within GOTM, it is GOTM that needs to supply the wind speed. Most GOTM setups use meteorological forcing that includes the Northward and Eastward wind components; it will then use these to calculate the wind speed provided to FABM/oxydep.
