Abstract

Abstract The present paper considers numerical properties of two different approaches to discretization of the isoneutral diffusion. The necessity of an alternative treatment of the isoneutral diffusion in a terrain-following climate ocean model as opposed to the more convenient rotated tensor formalism is studied. A new method of the approximation of the isoneutral diffusion based on a non-local computational stencil is formulated. The validity of the non-local discretization of the isoneutral diffusion operator with regard to a terrain-following vertical coordinate in the INMCM ocean model is demonstrated.
