FESOM (Finite-Element/volumE Sea ice-Ocean Model) is amulti-resolution ocean general circulation model that solves the equations of motion describing the ocean and sea ice usingfinite-element andfinite-volume methods onunstructured computational grids. The model is developed and supported by researchers at theAlfred WegenerInstitute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), in Bremerhaven, Germany.

Overview

[edit]

FESOM implements the idea of using meshes with variable resolutionto simulate the circulation of the global ocean with regional focus. Becauseof the broad range of scales characterizing theocean circulation, downscalingis commonly needed to describe processes on regional scales. FESOM allows globalmulti-resolution cross-scale simulations without traditional nesting.

The dynamical core of the new version (FESOM2) switches from thefinite-element method used in the original version of FESOM to thefinite-volume method for the sake of better computational efficiency. Both versions include the Finite-Element Sea Ice Model (FESIM).[1] FESOM is also used as the ocean component of the AWI-CM, the coupled atmosphere-ocean climate model developed atAWI.

History

[edit]

The prototype version of FESOM appeared in 2004 due to work of Sergey Danilov,Gennady Kivman and Jens Schröter. Ralph Timmermann extended it to a full global ocean – sea ice configuration in 2009. Qiang Wang rewrote its numerical algorithm and parameterizations from 2008 through 2014, which led to essentially improved numerical and physical performance. The last release of FESOM with the finite-element dynamical core is FESOM1.4 (Wang et al., 2014).[2] The release of AWI-CM using FESOM is by Sidorenko et al. in 2015.[3]
