Vertical velocity at the surface

#1 Unread post by fridase »

Hello.
I am new to ROMS.
I have edited the Upwelling test case. I have removed the bathymetry so that the depth is uniform 150 m. I have also edited the analytical wind stress to simulate an offshore wind farm. I want to look at upwelling and downwelling, and want to plot the vertical velocity at the surface. When I plot vertical velocity further down the water column, i get a dipole with upwelling and downwelling as expected nearby the farm. However, for the surface, the results are very different and seem noisy and random almost. Why is this happening?
I would appreciate feedback. Thanks.

- Frida
