The Kiel runs [ORCA025-KAB001 and KAB002] Arne Biastoch IFM-GEOMAR
ORCA025-KAB001 and KAB002 KAB001: as G70, but… pure CORE forcing (except for river runoff, full temporal resolution, ) 2 additional tracers: CFC-11 and SF6 (both initialized in 1959) no Katabatic winds “pragmatic approach”: weak SSS (300d / 10m) + polar 3D T/S restoring (180 d) KAB002: as KAB001, but… only (based on KAB001) strong SSS restoring (as G70, but without increased restoring under sea ice) SSS 3D T/S:
Polar Restoring: Strong Surface vs. Weak 3D Pragmatic approach: strong (20d) surface SSS-restoring –OR- weak (180d) 3D T/S restoring
