Ocean model: ROMS_AGRIF

Parent grid:

  • 1/4 degree resolution (i.e. 20-25 km)
  • 228 X 192 X 32 grid points
  • Bottom topography: ETOPO2
  • Lateral boundary conditions: World Ocean Atlas 2001 monthly climatology OR SODA (1958-2001 experiment) OR ECCO (1993-2005 experiment)
  • Surface forcing: Dasilva monthly climatology OR NCEP reanalysis

    • + Embedded child models depending on the scientific question
