- summary: The model domain spans the region 6.7 S - 6.7 N, 38.75 E - 65 E. The spatial resolution increases from about 22 km at the N/S boundaries to a resolution of about 5.5 km at the equator. In the zonal direction a constant resolution of 11 km is used. In the vertical, 40 generalized terrain-following levels define a mean vertical resolution of 5 m at the surface that gradually decreases to about 300 m at the deeper levels. At the open boundaries, the model is constrained by seasonal fields from the Global Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). Near the boundaries the model is gradually nudged to the seasonal HYCOM fields. At the surface, the model is forced with the seasonal cycle of surface forcing fields from the CONTROL experiment. This experiment explores the role of intrinsic internal variability by performing two integrations. The first integration allows for a 1-day damping timescale for the largest wavenumber. The second integration allows for a higher amount of numerical noise by setting damping timescale of 5 days, but is otherwise identical to the first integration. The difference of these two runs (this file) shows how small numerical noise is amplified by the seasonally evolving background state and is therefore an indicator of internal instability.
