Ocean Climatology Extraction and Adjustment Program for the Mediterranean Program SOVEL
Abstract
SOVEL was written as part of the Ocean Thermal Structure Analysis package for Fleet Weather Central, Rota, Spain. Its primary purpose is to extract the temperature and salinity levels (by one-degree squares) in desired locations from an ocean climatology tape. It takes the corresponding analyzed sea-surface temperature and the mixed layer depth at given locations which are read from input cards and adjusts the upper standard levels to these parameters. An additional feature of the program is the adjustment of the temperature and salinity gradients below the mixed layer depth. These gradients can be sharp indeed in the Mediterranean. Their sharpness varies with various parameters and seasons and this variation has been taken directly into consideration with this program.
