195ec2cf04 Jean*0001 global ocean using the cubed-sphere grid 32x32x32 with 15 levels
                0002 =================================================================
                0003
                0004 Specific option:
                0005 * Use Non-Linear Free surface formulation with z* coordinate
                0006    with real fresh-water flux.
d6a28d3589 Jean*0007 * Oceanic set-up on the cubed-sphere grid using the vector-invariant
195ec2cf04 Jean*0008    formulation.
                0009
d6a28d3589 Jean*0010 Forcing :
195ec2cf04 Jean*0011  use Monthly mean climatological forcing (except P-E-R, annual mean).
                0012  same data set as global-ocean lat-long experiments but interpolated
                0013   on CS-32 grid.

                0015 Comments:
d6a28d3589 Jean*0016 * bathymetry :
195ec2cf04 Jean*0017  designed to be coupled to Atmospheric model, therefore includes
                0018  most of the semi-enclosed sea (Mediterranean, Black-Sea, Red-Sea,
                0019    Hudson Bay ...)
                0020  bathy_cs32.bin: initial bathymetry
                0021    h < 0 is meant to stay wet-point whatever delZ(1) is ; Consequently
                0022    the global ocean area is not affected by the vertical resolution.
                0023  bathy_Hmin50.bin: bathymetry file used in the current set-up
                0024     generated from bathy_cs32.bin using matlab script mk_bathy4gcm.m
                0025  mk_bathy4gcm.m matlab script that deepen all shallow point up to 50m.
                0026 * global integral of E-P-R and annual mean net Q flux are zero.
985602cfcd Jean*0027 * package thSIce and bulk_forc are included but not used in the standard
                0028   set-up.
                0029
44905da139 Jean*0030 * additional forcing fields and parameter files are provided (in input.thsice)
d6a28d3589 Jean*0031   in order to illustrate the use of thSIce pkg.
985602cfcd Jean*0032   the output of a short run (20.iter) is given in results/output_thsice.txt

44905da139 Jean*0034 October 1rst, 2005:
                0035 * input.viscA4/data has been added to test biharmonic viscosity on CS-grid
d6a28d3589 Jean*0036   with side-drag. However, this set of parameters has only be used for
44905da139 Jean*0037   short tests and is not recommended to begin with.
