[MITgcm-support] cube sphere 510 initial conditions

[Wang, Zhaomin]

Dimitris,

Thanks. We have re-grided UVEL from cube sphere to spherical coordinate. So, UVEL should be eastward velocity after re-griding.

Zhaomin, UVEL is not eastward velocity, it is referenced relative to the grid, in the case of the ACC relative to the face 6 or the Antarctic face of the cube.  Did you rotate the velocity prior to generating your figures?

We thought that the initial conditions were obtained from some spin-up runs. However, we noticed that UVEL does not look right in the ACC, say, there is a reasonable eastward transport between the Antarctic and the South Africa, but a large westward transport between the Antarctic and Australia. We would like to know where we can find proper initial conditions that are the results of a spin-up run and forcing files for cs510 case.
