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 input and output files associated with the core simulations described in our paper on the dynamical slab ocean model. --------------------------------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. --------------------------------Reproducibility: To reproduce the simulations, users should download r3423 of the Generic-PCM from the SVN repository.Then, compile the GCM and place the compiled file into the respective subdirectories. For detailed installation and usage instructions, please refer to 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.
