[MITgcm-support] coarser cube-sphere grid

[Menemenlis, Dimitris (3248)]

Annegret, sorry for breaking link.  I moved file to
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40292774/ECCO/gridsdispo.pdf

Gael, is there a more permanent version of this document under CVS somewhere?

Thanks

We therefore decided to use a Lat/Lon/Cap configuration or a part of it. I want to make myself familiar with this kind of grid and I want to ask if you could give me some information or a description of the LLC grids you mentioned in the MITgcm-support list two years ago (http://mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-support/2011-December/007557.html). Unfortunately, the link to this description of the LLC grids doesn't work anymore.
