GLOBAL 0.72; HYCOM OCEAN/CICE SIMULATION

Purpose

Results of these control runs using the glb 0.72 grid are used as a series of sensitivity tests to improve the glb 0.72 coupled configuration.

Setup

Coupled Model Components::

Hycom and CICE4.0

Grid:

Hycom hybrid coordinated grid

Forcing:

The Common Ocean-Ice Reference Experiments (CORE) data set (Large and Yeager, 2004)

or Nogaps forcing

Coupling:

Hycom and CICE

Cases

expt47.6 :

Control case using a 2002 restart and nogaps forcing

expt01.2 :

Control case of expt012 with Core IAF forcing

expt01.3 :

Control case of expt012 with Core IAF forcing and albedos moved to; albicev 0.83 albicei 0.45 albsnowi 0.73

expt01.3_86 :

Case of expt013 with Core IAF forcing and albedos moved to; albicev 0.86 albicei 0.45 albsnowi 0.73

expt01.4 :

Case of expt012 with Core IAF forcing and albedos moved to; albicev 0.86 albicei 0.45 albsnowi 0.73 and ustar_min = 5e-4

expt01.5 :

Case of expt012 with Core IAF forcing and albedos moved to; albicev 0.86 albicei 0.45 albsnowi 0.73 and ustar_min = 5e-7

expt20.5 :

Case of expt205 with Core IAF forcing and albedos moved to; albicev 0.86 albicei 0.45 albsnowi 0.73 and ustar_min = 5e-4 with Alex's expt 20.5 setup with salinity restoring changed in southern ocean

expt20.6 :

Case of expt205 with Core IAF forcing and albedos unchanged from orig ALEX; and ustar_min = 5e-3 orig value with Alex's expt 20.5 setup with salinity restoring changed in southern ocean

Observations:
