[MITgcm-support] MITgcm 40km resolution Arctic simulation

[Menemenlis, Dimitris (3248)]

Hi Jonny, I have added some information that hopefully answers your questions:
http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/arctic/cs_36km/readme.txt
http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/data1/arctic/run_template2/README_arctic2.txt
If something is not clear, please let me know and I will try to improve description.
I cc to support list as this may be useful information for other MITgcm users.

Cheers

Dimitris Menemenlis

Hi Dimitris

I hope that you're well.

I am making good progress with the Arctic configuration of the MITgcm and will be visiting Chris Hill and Jean-Michel Campin at MIT in January.

I will be taking this regional version of the MITgcm and using different bathymetry and forcing data for a different area of the world and will therefore need to create my own binary input files. I can now easily read and plot the binary data in MATLAB using the readbin and writebin functions I found in the ~/MITgcm install directory which is great!

The only issue with this is that there many input files in the http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/data1/arctic/run_template2/ directory which I will need equivalent copies of for my new configuration.

Do you know is there any more documentation regarding these (many) input files? I ask this because although I can read them in now with no problem, I do not know exactly what they represent (e.g. what is the different between LATC.bin and LATG.bin, or what is the structure and meaning of the OBEt_arctic_210x192.stable file?).

Many thanks for any ideas!
