[MITgcm-support] A question about the currents

[pan fei]

I'm really sorry for the disturbance. I found the text of my previous email consisted of error codes, maybe it is related to my email. So I use another email to resend the question. Thank you so much.

Hi everyone,

Recently, I ran a global ocean model configuration which is similar with the global_with_exf but with 1 grid*1 grid resolution. Strangely, I found the currents were mainly located on the equator (e.g., strong westward currents over eastern equatorial Pacific), and there are no western boundary currents and  ACC.

Attached are the currents at the time of 40 years.

Here is my data file:
