MPAS-Ocean Shallow Water Meshes

The MPAS_Ocean_Shallow_Water_Meshes directory contains planar hexagonal mesh files in NetCDF format necessary for running a verification suite of shallow water test cases for the barotropic solver of ocean models using a mimetic finite volume spatial discretization based on the TRiSK scheme. It also contains mesh plots showing the cell centers, edge centers, vertices, and orientation of the normal vectors at the edges; plots of high resolution meshes superimposed on low resolution ones; plots of state variables interpolated from edges and vertices to cell centers along with the interpolation error; plots of state variables interpolated from a high resolution mesh to a low resolution one; and plots of various spatial operators of the TRiSK scheme applied to the state variables along with their error and convergence plots. The associated code can be cloned from the Github repository Rotating_Shallow_Water_Verification_Suite. Please download the MPAS_Ocean_Shallow_Water_Meshes.zip file, unzip it, and place the resulting directory within the meshes directory of Rotating_Shallow_Water_Verification_Suite
