This dataset contains five spin-up simulations with the global ocean model ICON-O. The spin-up runs start from Levitus and run for 100 years with OMIP forcing.
The five different set-ups are as follows:
- spinup_R2B6: homogeneous grid with 40km horizontal resolution, vertical z-coordinate, top level 11m thick
- spinup_R2B65_zstar_11m: homogeneous grid with 40km horizontal resolution, vertical z*-coordinate, top level 11m thick
- spinup_R2B65_zstar_2m: homogeneous grid with 40km horizontal resolution, vertical z*-coordinate, top level 2m thick
- spinup_R2B8: homogeneous grid with 10km horizontal resolution, vertical z-coordinate, top level 11m thick
- spinup_BCT: telescoping grid with 8-80km horizontal resolution, vertical z-coordinate, top level 11m thick
All five set-ups run with 128 vertical levels.
These simulations are used as spin-up runs for the following simulations with ICON-O including tides (these spin-up simulations are run without tides).
The following ICON-O model output is saved for each run (if available):
