140722 was still wrong, i re-corrected and only ran the jtdw1-3 in 140723.
still had mistake in tagging dwbc (was tagging only half of the dwbc with zero), so made script inicheck.py to make sure that age tracer and psi matched up. started 140724 informed by this. should now be more flexible as well.
only 140724/jtdc worked, i made a mistake copying the others over and deleted them as they were repeats. shows a definite improvement, still going to try a few more things in 140725, like altering the extent of age tracer and position of various currents
forgot to move the topo with the dwbc, which is why i see instabilities in the dwbc when i move it less in 140728. will hard code in moving topo with dw. also will revert to g1=gs1=1.0 as in waterman papers. two-pronged set of runs in 140730. one is anattempt at a basecase with varying viscosity to see its effect on the age tracer especially. the other is a variation on the base case with variation of some parameters: distance to gs, steepness of slope and strength of dwbc. am saving shape of obstacle for more targeted testing. after this will write script to really quantify how well age tracer is doing, plot it better and do some analysis.
have written a few more scripts to make things go faster (though there is potential danger in how easy it is now...), one will copy all the runs from one date and modify the name of each slightly, one will copy a modified .f file to all others for that date. using this, i moved the dwbc to what i thought was over topography but was in fact further away on 140731. now i will move it back the other way again.
aligning topo and dwbc took longer than i thought. finally correct in 140803, which is the _4 iteration. on 140805 (and retroactively on 140806) started a few more variations on the basecase theme with fewer wrinkles, i.e. no gs, no bump in topography, and checking on moving the dw around a little.
trying to think about metrics and visualization, especially with regards to age. will see scripts popping up to reflect that. also realized that i changed gulf stream parameters to be like waterman and jayne's, but forgot that i have a slightly different parameter space and had already worried about transports. So, follow up on this and potentially reveryt
worked on plotuage.py script for checking the correspondance between advective time and age along the dwbc maximum. saved a large variety of those plots in 140811 and still working on interpretation. bottom line is that age tracer is having trouble, perhaps due to advection scheme. main issues arise when a gulf stream is included.
wrote agemtseries.py script to look at statistics of the age field as a time series. one thing i might change is make the spread above and below the mean representative of the spread to that side instead of just the std. because process is as of yet quite manual, and not super significant, have not changed.
wrote a quick script and documented results in 140812_2 of zonal dwbc transport within range of current
brute force redo of all runs in 140803 and 140805 with a smaller time step to see if that will help with the advective stability of tracer. should reconsider core runs and do some more thinking about all vars and stab soon.
