Abstract | A 1D-vertical model originally developed by Florian Lemarie to test different vertical mixing parameterisations implemented in the full version of the CROCO source code. The model is run as a python script, simplifying the setup and testing of different 1D model configurations. The python script loops through time and calls a 1D version of the CROCO Fortran code at each time-step. A description of the input variables and how to implement the code is provided in scm_oce.pdf. Some examples of how the model has been used to benchmark oceanic vertical mixing parameterization against standard test cases is provided in comodo_params.pdf. The provided example configuration is described in "Fearon, G., Herbette, S., Veitch, J., Cambon, G., Lucas, A. J., Lemarié, F., & Vichi, M. (2020). Enhanced vertical mixing in coastal upwelling systems driven by diurnal‐inertial resonance: Numerical experiments.

Methods | Florian Lemarie implemented the parameterisation of vertical mixing in CROCO, a description of which is available in the online documentation - https://croco-ocean.gitlabpages.inria.fr/croco_doc/. He developed this python wrapper for the CROCO fortran code to test the mixing parameterisation implemented in the full version of the CROCO source code. This python wrapper was used to set up and test various simulations described in "Fearon, G., Herbette, S., Veitch, J., Cambon, G., Lucas, A. J., Lemarié, F., & Vichi, M. (2020). Enhanced vertical mixing in coastal upwelling systems driven by diurnal‐inertial resonance: Numerical experiments.
