[MITgcm-support] Noise in Zonal Winds

[Nikole Lewis]

All-
     We've been using the MITgcm in a C32 cubed sphere configuration
on planets with high gravity and strong irradiation.   As gravity and
the strength of the irradiation are increased we sometimes see noise
in the vertical structure of the zonal winds.   An example is here:

Any suggestions on what might be the underlying cause of this noise
and how we could alter our set-up to eliminate it?

Thanks,
Nikole Lewis
