ProfileWithDoubleGaussianExponentialPlusPycnocline

Build a mixed Gaussian-exponential pycnocline profile used by the built-in benchmarks.

Developer documentation: this item describes internal implementation details.

Declaration 

 [rhoFunc,N2Func,zIn] = ProfileWithDoubleGaussianExponentialPlusPycnocline(rho_0,D,delta_p,z_p,L_s,L_d,z_T,L_deep,N0,Nq,Np)

Parameters

  • rho_0 reference surface density
  • D water-column depth
  • delta_p pycnocline thickness scale
  • z_p pycnocline center depth
  • L_s shallow Gaussian scale
  • L_d deep Gaussian scale
  • z_T transition depth to the exponential tail
  • L_deep deep exponential scale
  • N0 surface buoyancy frequency
  • Nq mixed-layer buoyancy-frequency scale
  • Np pycnocline buoyancy-frequency scale

Returns

  • rhoFunc density function handle
  • N2Func buoyancy-frequency function handle
  • zIn depth domain for the constructed profile
