The NCAR/CSM Pacific Basin Ocean Model

Experiment Database

A suite of uncoupled runs from spring thru fall of 1997:

  • p001.01 -- a baseline run using the unaltered pac-3.c code (FSU monthly pseudo-stress, Brady heat flux formula).
  • p001.02 -- same as p001.01 except a few KPP mixing scheme parameters are altered slightly.
  • p001.03 -- same as p001.02 except with 7-levels and no KPP mixing scheme.
  • p001.04 -- same as p001.02 except using NCEP wind stress climatology (1985-1988) .
  • p001.05 -- same as p001.04 except using new heat flux formula using NCEP & ISCCP climatology (1985-1988).
  • p001.06 -- same as p001.05 except forcing doesn't use observed air temperature.
  • p001.07 -- same as p001.05 except forcing uses observed SST.
  • p001.08 -- same as p001.05 except with 7-levels and no KPP mixing scheme.
  • p001.09 -- same as p001.05 except net solar factor is 0.8
  • p001.10 -- same as p001.05 except no KPP mixing scheme.

1997 - 1999:

  • pac3.c code create Apr 1997 (same as pac-3.c, under CVS)
  • pac3.d code was released Aug 1998, is compatible with CSM1.2 (Jul 1998), and has some kpp modifications
  • pac3.e code was released Aug 1999, which has a KPP bug fix (wrt background diffusion)

Uncoupled runs run in the fall of 1999 to answer questions about the reproducability of results from 1997...

  • p001.11 -- same as p001.01 except uses pac3.e code using NCEP & ISCCP climatology (1985-1988). (doesn't look like p001.05)
  • p001.12 -- same as p001.01 except uses pac3.d code using NCEP & ISCCP climatology (1985-1988). (doesn't look like p001.05)
