The included files define the global grid known as LLC90
which was introduced as part of the MITgcm / ECCOv4 ocean modeling framework Forget et al., 2015, doi:10.5194/gmd-8-3071-2015.
- the
tile00?.mitgrid
files are the native grid files (model input; 2D split in 5 subdomains). *.data
and*.meta
files are the corresponding model output after adding vertical discretization and land mask (3D; global domain).
In addition:
v4_basin.bin
is a map of ocean basin indices (useful to analyze model output).SSH.bin
,TrspX.bin
,TrspY.bin
,TauX.bin
, andTauX.bin
are time-mean 2D climatologies fromECCOv4 release 2
for sea surface height (m), wind stress (N/m2), and top-to-bottom seawater transport (m3/s).
