Primitive Equations
The governing equations consist of the following momentum, continuity, temperature, salinity, and density equations:
ρ = ρ(θ,s)
where "x","y", and "z" are the east, north, and vertical axes in the Cartesian coordinate system; "u","v", and "w" are the x, "y", "z" velocity components; "θ" is the potential temperature; "s" is the salinity; "ρ" is the density; "P" is the pressure; "f" is the Coriolis parameter; "g" is the gravitational acceleration; Km is the vertical eddy viscosity coefficient; and Kh is the thermal vertical eddy
