Dataset for "A Fast and Physically Grounded Ocean Model for GCMs: The Dynamical Slab Ocean Model of the Generic-PCM (rev. 3423)"

This repository provides the model code, the input and output files associated with the core simulations described in our paper on the dynamical slab ocean model of the Generic-PCM. --------------------------------Brief Description: The aquaplanet and modern_earth directories contain subdirectories with the core simulations of the paper. These subdirectories contain the .def files (i.e., the initial conditions) required to start the simulations. The diagfi file contains output from the final model year. The start1.nc and startfi1.nc files are the start files required by the GCM. The datadir folder contains the required ancillary data to run the model: aerosol properties, continuum data, correlated-k tables, stellar spectra, and surface conditions. The path to this directory must be correctly set in callphys.def when running the model. The trunk_r3423 folder contains a frozen version of the model code used in this study. --------------------------------Reproducibility: To reproduce the simulations, users should download r3423 of the Generic-PCM from the SVN repository. A frozen version of the model code is archived in this repository under the trunk_r3423 directory. Please note that the executable (*.e) files in trunk_r3423/LMDZ.COMMON/bin/ are directly usable only if running the model with the University of Geneva's HPC clusters, Baobab and Yggdrasil. For other users, please compile the GCM using your institution's cluster. Detailed installation and usage instructions are available in the official Generic-PCM documentation. --------------------------------Video supplement: The video file aquaplanet-sst.mov illustrates the temporal evolution of sea surface temperature (SST) for the zero-obliquity aquaplanet simulations. The top-left and bottom-left panels show the SST for the OHT ON and OHT OFF cases, respectively. The right panel displays the difference between the two, highlighting the impact of ocean heat transport (OHT). Notable features include Ekman-induced equatorial cooling and diffusion-driven high-latitude warming in the OHT ON case. This animation is intended to complement Figs. 3 and C1 of the paper.
