timeModulatedMixing

Time modulation of mixing at moorings IC3 and M1 over Reykjanes Ridge.

After cloning this repository but before running the files, you must download the data files from this directory: https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AOg6743L2Qhaszg&id=540CC8F77784FF93%214430&cid=540CC8F77784FF93

Additionally, you must create these folders within 'figures':

• figures/main/extract,
• figures/main/param,
• figures/main/HIL,
• figures/main/NIW

Running Instructions

1. Ensure that the following data files which you should have downloaded are placed in the Data folder: merged_hourly_unfiltered_data_20142020.mat Mixing_parameterization_fields.mat WOCE_climatology.mat

2. Estimate barotropic tidal amplitude 'U': extractVelocity -> extractTide

3. Estimate (bottom) stratification 'Nbot': extractSalinity + extractTemperature -> extractNsquared

4. Estimate near-inertial wave energy 'Eniw': extractNiw (extractTide MUST be run before this)

5. Apply the time-modulation to the parametrisation of HIL (De Lavergne et al, 2020) and NIW (Alford, 2020): paramEhil -> paramFhil -> paramEpsHil -> paramKhil; paramEniw -> paramFniw -> paramEpsNiw -> paramKniw.
