        • 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. (Type is String)

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.
