Review text

Based on the Takano (UCLA) rigid-lid model, the author develops a numerical free-surface ocean model. The paper documents most of details of this free-surface model, and reports some numerical experiments. The equations of a free-surface model are discussed, and the main numerical features are described in details: the grid system, a version of finite volume method to deal with the deformable surface, discussion and treatment of the checkerboard noise, and the fractional time increment integration scheme of barotropic and baroclinic equations. The numerical results of a coarse calculation of real circulation in the North Pacific Ocean are used to compare the accuracy of free-surface and rigid-lid models. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0940.00050].
