19.1.2 GOSBC

Getting for the ocean model defined on the grid of mom is the purpose of subroutine gosbc^19.20 which is an acronym for get ocean . This is the counterpart of gasbc. All of the are two dimensional fields as described in Section 19.1.1. In the atmosphere, all quantities which are to be used as for MOM are defined on the A $_{i^\prime,j^\prime}$ grid in array where subscript m again refers to the ordering described in Section 19.3. Typically, they are quantities like windstress components, heatflux and precipitation minus evaporation. These must be accumulated in within the atmosphere model and averaged at the end of each time segment. Basically what needs to be done in gosbc is to interpolate the time averaged to which is defined on the ocean grid.
