3.12 Held-Suarez forcing atmospheric simulation on a latitude-longitude grid 2.8$ ^\circ$ resolution and on a cube-sphere grid with 32 square cube faces.

This example illustrates the use of the MITgcm for large scale atmospheric circulation simulation. Two simulations are described

  • global atmospheric circulation on a latitude-longitude grid and
  • global atmospheric circulation on a cube-sphere grid
The examples show how to use the isomorphic 'p-coordinate' scheme in MITgcm to enable atmospheric simulation.
