Brief description of this project

• MODELS Various locally maintained modeling efforts.

  • AML Richard Seager's Atmospheric Mixed Layer.
  • CCM3 Various projects using CCM3.10 on our local Beowulf system.
  • CAM3 Model output from our Beowulf CAM3.1 runs
  • LOAM the Lamont Ocean AML Model.
    • tav1_spin10 Sample run directory.

• DATASETS Various local datasets.

  • KEDDY Eddy Mixing Coefficients (for LOAM/ISOGM) derived by Felix Tubiana from the WOCE SAC data.
  • NCEP3 NCEP data, basin mean trend removed by J. Miller in three time intervals, 49-58,59-78,79-2000.
  • PHC_WOCE blend of PHC(upper)+WOCE_SAC(lower), from Felix Tubiana
  • NorAm_SNWD Daily North American Snow Depth dataset - use monthlyAverage to get monthly means.
  • USTAR Used in the AML to parameterize the transient eddy fluxes, see Hazeleger et al.
  • ZGLOBE Various global bathymetry datasets, obtained from the high resolution ETOPO5 by computing maximum/median value in a coarse resolution box, from Martin Visbeck.
