This PR implements support for 3D velocities in CROCO (and potentially also ROMS, but not tested). Users can simply call
FieldSet.from_croco()
and provide thew
field from CROCO output in theirvariables
list and call theAdvectionRK4_3D
kernel. Under the hood, Parcels will then replace the kernel withAdvectionRK4_3D_CROCO
, which works slightly different from the normal 3D advection kernel because it converts the vertical velocity in sigma-units.In particular, the following algorithm is used (note that the RK4 version is slightly more complex than this Euler-Forward version, but the idea is identical)
We have tested this algorithm on an idealised setup (created by @vesnaber) of a purely zonal flow over a sloping bottom. Particles indeed stay on their depth levels (so cross sigma-levels) as expected, with this algorithm. So we think this is an appropriate scheme.
To make this work under the hood, we had to adapt Parcels to convert from particle depth (in m) to sigma-coordinates in Field interpolations. In a call such as
fieldset.U[time, particle.depth, particle.lat, particle.lon]
, theparticle.depth
will thus under-the-hood be converted tosigma
(= particle.depth / fieldset.H[time, particle.depth, particle.lat, particle.lon]
).Todo before this PR can be merged
