Content | Global oceanic angular momentum mass and motion terms Ocean model : MITgcm configured on the LLC540 (Lat-Lon-Cap) grid Horizontal domain : Global Horizontal resolution : LLC540: Decomposition of the globe into 13 square tiles with 540 divisions per side Nominal resolution therefore 1/6 x 1/6 degree Vertical resolution : 50 levels ranging in thickness from 10 m at surface to 460 m at depth Boussinesq model? : Yes Tabulated mass term corrected for volume changes due to steric effects? : Yes Ocean model forcing : 6-hourly ERA-Interim values of surface wind stress, heat flux, freshwater flux, and sea-level pressure Atmospheric tides were subtracted from the sea-level pressure fields Data assimilated : None |
Documentation | File units : kg-m**2/s for OAM 1. The tabulated date corresponds to the midpoint (12 UTC) of a 24-hour-long averaging interval. 2. The mean has been removed from the tabulated OAM The mean OAM mass term (kg-m**2/s; x,y,z) = -3.34898958E+15 -1.51640597E+15 -1.32642578E+16 The mean OAM motion term (kg-m**2/s; x,y,z) = -8.19818015E+23 1.01417870E+24 1.19444831E+25 |
