3.11.3.3 File input/data.pkg
This file uses standard default values and does not contain
customisations for this experiment.
3.11.3.4 File input/eedata
This file uses standard default values and does not contain
customisations for this experiment.
3.11.3.5 File input/topog.bin
This file is a two-dimensional () map of
depths. This file is assumed to contain 64-bit binary numbers giving
the depth of the model at each grid cell, ordered with the x
coordinate varying fastest. The points are ordered from low
coordinate to high coordinate for both axes. The units and
orientation of the depths in this file are the same as used in the
MITgcm code (Pa for this experiment). In this experiment, a depth of
0 Pa indicates a land point wall and a depth of
Pa indicates open ocean.
3.11.3.6 File input/deltageopotjmd95.box
The file contains 12 identical two dimensional maps () of
geopotential height anomaly at the bottom at rest. The values have
been obtained by vertically integrating the hydrostatic equation with
the initial density field (from input/lev_t/s.bin). This file
has to be consitent with the temperature and salinity field at rest
and the choice of equation of state!
3.11.3.7 File input/lev_t/s.bin
The files input/lev_t/s.bin specify the initial conditions for
temperature and salinity for every grid point in a three dimensional
array (). The data are obtain by interpolating Levitus
[36] monthly mean values for January onto the model
grid. Keep in mind, that the first index corresponds to the bottom
layer and highest index to the surface layer.
3.11.3.8 File input/trenberth_taux/y.bin
Each of the input/trenberth_taux/y.bin files specifies 12
two-dimensional () maps of zonal and meridional wind stress
values, and , that is monthly mean values from
Trenberth [50]. The units used are .
3.11.3.9 File input/lev_sst.bin
The file input/lev_sst.bin contains 12 monthly surface
temperature climatologies from Levitus [36] in a three
dimensional array ().
3.11.3.10 File input/shi_qnet/empmr.bin
The files input/shi_qnet/empmr.bin contain 12 monthly surface
fluxes of heat (qnet) and freshwater (empmr) by Jiang et al.
[34] in three dimensional arrays (). Both fluxes are
normalized so that of one year there is no net flux into the
ocean. The freshwater flux is actually constant in time.
