3.4 Example experiments

The MITgcm distribution comes with more than a dozen pre-configured numerical experiments. Some of these example experiments are tests of individual parts of the model code, but many are fully fledged numerical simulations. A few of the examples are used for tutorial documentation in sections 3.8 - 3.10. The other examples follow the same general structure as the tutorial examples. However, they only include brief instructions in a text file called README. The examples are located in subdirectories under the directory verification. Each example is briefly described below.
