v2 v3 4 4 PALM allows for studying the ocean mixed layer (OML) by using an ocean option where the sea surface is defined at the top of the model, so that negative values of ''z'' indicate the depth. Hereafter, we keep the terminology and use the word ''surface'' and index ''0'' for variables at the sea surface and top of the ocean model. For a list of ocean specific parameters, see the following Table 3. 5 5 6 [[Image(Table3.png, 600px,border=1)]]6 [[Image(Table3.png,450px,border=1)]] 7 7 8 8 The ocean version differs from the atmospheric version by a few modifications, which are handled in the code by distinction of cases, so that both versions share the same basic code. In particular, seawater buoyancy and static stability depend not only on ''θ'', but also on the salinity Sa. In order to account for the effect of salinity on density, a prognostic equation is added for Sa (in PSU, ''practical salinity unit''):
