Description

Data output from ORCA2_LIM3_GEOMETRIC, in relation to the publication

Corrigendum to "Acute sensitivity of global ocean circulation and heat content to eddy energy dissipation time-scale"
J. Mak, D. P. Marshall, G. Madec, and J. R. Maddison

The data here are from ORCA2 calculations with the GEOMETRIC eddy energy advection by mean flow bug fixed, following the experimental procedure reported in "Acute sensitivity of global ocean circulation and heat content to eddy energy dissipation time-scale". The resulting conclusions do not change; ORCA2 calculations display a larger sensitivity compared to the ORCA1 calculations it would seem (the sensitivity seems to be more to do with grid resolution, and less with fixing the bug or GEOMETRIC parameter choices).

Various folders have been split out for easier downloading.

  • nemo3.7-8666 contains modified NEMO GEOMETRIC code
  • python contains the post-processing routines, and plotting commands are given in plot_talks.ipynb. The file directory pointers are relative paths and set up for the data organisation given here in this repository
  • ORCA0083-N01 contains reference data from a ORCA012 calculation
  • ORCA2_LIM3 contains sample raw and processed data outputs, as well as restart files for re-running calculations if needed. Spinup data ending at year 1500 is in EXP_GEOM_x100/{SPINUP, RESTARTS}. Rest of the data is from year 3001 to 3100.

Notes

Financial support from NERC NE/R000999/1, and acknowledgements to HK RGC Early Career Scheme 2630020 as well as the Center for Ocean Research in Hong Kong and Macau. The time-stamps of the data files here are correct, unlike in ver.1 where they were off by 500 years (due to an oversight in specifying the start date).
