OCCAM model development route

Performance comparison: OCCAM vs JAMSTEC (MOM 2) OCCAM : 1/4x1/4 o truly global ocean model, 36 vertical levels requires: 24 hours per model year using 128 T3E processors JAMSTEC : 1/4x1/4 o ocean model 75 o S to 75 o N, 55 vertical levels requires: 108 hours per model year using 10 NEC SX-4 processors suggesting: 1 SX-4 node = 4-5 T3E processors

OCCAM 1/4 x 1/4 o global ocean model Bryan-Cox + Twin-grids for truly global coverage. Pacanowski and Philander vertical mixing Free surface code Improved advection scheme (modified split-quick) Improved vertical advection of momentum Re-written for massively parallel processing. 14 model years integration with monthly mean winds (ECMWF, climatology) Starting from rest with Levitus '82 climatological values. 4 years with relaxation at all depths (initially to Levitus '82, Levitus '94 after day 180) Monthly mean Levitus values used to relax surface temperature towards climatology Salinity difference converted to a freshwater flux which affects the sea surface height. Full restarts saved every 15 days throughout; Every 3 days for last 2 years Other runs include: 5 year control run with 6 hourly ECMWF wind-stresses and pressure (1992 onwards) 5 year run with 6 hourly ECMWF wind-stresses and assimilation of T/P altimeter data True "running means" stored at 5 day intervals. OCCAM 1/8 x 1/8o global ocean model: Started from 8 model year state of the 1/4 o model Two model-year integration completed, Full restarts saved every 10 days
