Native horizontal resolution

lon: 1.125°

lat: 0.27° - 0.53°

1°; refined in equatorial, coastal, and polar regions

Initial conditions

POP2 model using Levitus data and a state of rest, carbonate chemistry from GLODAPv2 pre-industrial

DIC and TA (GLODAPv2 preindustrial); N, Si, and O2 (WOA13); Fe (PISCES, corrected with observations), temperature and salinity from PHC3.0 climatology

Spin up procedure

180 years with CORE forcing and 1850 pCO2, switch to JRA forcing for 14 years;

3x cycling through JRA with historical forcing

Spun up from 1611-1957 with JRA55-do v1.3, repeating the year 1961.
