[MITgcm-support] Nonlinear equations of state

[Dave Munday - BAS]

Dear MITgcm-ers,

I’ve just been trying to make a decision about which particular nonlinear EOS to use for a very long-running two basin sector model with biogeochemistry. In reading the docs the MDJWF EOS is described as “more accurate and less expensive”, which is appealing when running models for 10-20 000 years. A lot of the verification experiments are set to use JMD95Z or JMD95P. Is there a reason to prefer them over MDJWF?

Many thanks,

Dave
