[MITgcm-support] GCM grid spacing?

[Alice Alpert]

Dear MIT GCM mailing list,

I am a graduate student working with Jake Gebbie at WHOI trying to run a 
simple model using ECCO reanalysis derived from the MIT GCM. We are 
running an advection-diffusion model to look at tracer movement through 
the Equatorial Pacific, using as the initial condition a timestep from 
ECCO-GODAE 1x1 version 3: ECCO 1x1 1992-2007 MIT current state estimate: 
Adjoint 1x1 grid: iteration v3-73 (real month averages). However, we are 
having trouble with divergent flow, and we wonder if it could be due to 
the grid spacing we are specifying in the advection-diffusion model. 
Does anyone have access to the grid spacing used natively by the GCM so 
that we can match it? We would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank 
you very much.

Cheers,
Alice Alpert
