    • summary: This is a subset of a global ocean simulation named LLC4320 based on MITgcm. The simulation has a norminal 1/48 deg horizontal resolution, about 2km in the mid-latitudes. The model has 90 vertical levels, with about 1-m vertical resolution at the surface and 30 m down to 500 m, for better resolving the upper-ocean processes. The model has zero parameterized horizontal diffusivity. In the vertical direction, the K-profile parameterization (KPP; Large et al. 1994) is used for boundary layer turbulent mixing. The model is forced by the 6-hourly ERA-Interim atmosphere reanalysis. In addition, a synthetic surface pressure field consisting of the 16 most dominant tidal constituents is used to dynamically mimic the tidal forcing.

    • comments_1: Net heat flux into the ocean surface from all processes: air-sea turbulent and radiative fluxes and turbulent and conductive fluxes between the ocean and sea-ice and snow.
    • comments_2: Note: oceQnet does not include the change in ocean heat content due to changing ocean ocean mass (oceFWflx). Mass fluxes from evaporation, precipitation, and runoff (EXFempmr) happen at the same temperature as the ocean surface temperature. Consequently, EmPmR does not change ocean surface temperature. Conversely, mass fluxes due to sea-ice thickening/thinning and snow melt in the model are assumed to happen at a fixed 0C. Consequently, mass fluxes due to phase changes between seawater and sea-ice and snow induce a heat flux when the ocean surface temperaure is not 0C. The variable TFLUX does include the change in ocean heat content due to changing ocean mass.
