Abstract
The dataset is a 37 year control run of a NEMO-based 1/12 degree grid spacing model of the Southern Ocean as part of the ORCHESTRA LTS-M project. It uses the NEMO "extended" grid, although ice cavities are closed. The model was run on Archer, the national HPC platform. The dataset covers the full length of the model run (excluding a three year spinup period) and includes regular (5 day mean) output of the model state, as well as more frequent (1 day mean) output of surface variables and fluxes and 1 month mean of more extensive transport diagnostics.
Forced by the GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) CORE2 (corrected normal year forcing version 2.0) normal year forcing. With some additional forcing as supplied by the UK Met Office (freshwater runoff, tidal friction, geothermal heating) and additional freshwater runoff to suppress polynya formation. Initialised from January of a climatology of ECCOv4r2 (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean) in nominal year 1948.
