[MITgcm-support] How to build a regional ocean and sea ice model for Arctic region

[chris hill]

Liuyu,

 One option would be to work with some part of face 3 of the
510*510*6*50 cube. Then you would have maybe a 400*300*50 sub-region.
You could use pretty much the same code as for the global cube and take
boundary conditions from the global cube. This would be smaller  - what
computing resources do you have?

So:  How to build a regional ocean-sea ice coupled model for Arctic with resolution about 18km ?  Which kind of coordinate should be more suitable?  How to prepare the needed forcing fields? How to deal with the boundary conditions?
