Tide Namelist Group

The &tide namelist group defines tidal indices and related quantities. The following options are available:

y_T_thresh_abs (type: real, default: 0)

Absolute threshold on dimensionless tidal potential \(y_{\rm T}\) in order for a partial tide to contribute

y_T_thresh_rel (type: real, default: 0)

Relative threshold on dimensionless tidal potential \(y_{\rm T}\) in order for a partial tide to contribute

omega_c_thresh (type: real, default: 0)

Threshold on dimensionless co-rotating frequency \(\omegac\) in order for a partial tide to be treated as dynamic rather than static

alpha_frq (type: real, default: 1)

Scaling factor for the dimensionless co-rotating frequency \(\omegac\) (see eqn. 24)

l_min (type: integer, default: 2)

Minimum harmonic degree \(\ell\) in spatial expansion of tidal potential

l_max (type: integer, default: 2)

Maximum harmonic degree \(\ell\) in spatial expansion of tidal potential

m_min (type: integer, default: -HUGE)

Minimum azimuthal order \(m\) in spatial expansion of tidal potential

m_max (type: integer, default: HUGE)

Maximum azimuthal order \(m\) in spatial expansion of tidal potential

k_min (type: integer, default: -10)

Minimum orbital harmonic \(k\) in temporal expansion of tidal potential

k_max (type: integer, default: 10)

Maximum orbital harmonic \(k\) in temporal expansion of tidal potential
