Supporting GFDL data for Southern Ocean Freshwater release model experiments Initiative (SOFIA)

This output was produced in coordination with the Southern Ocean
Freshwater release model experiments Initiative (SOFIA) and is the Tier 1
experiment where freshwater is delivered in a spatially and temporally
uniform pattern at the surface of the ocean at sea surface temperature in
a 1-degree latitude band extending from Antarctica’s coastline. The total
additional freshwater flux imposed as a monthly freshwater flux entering
the ocean is 0.1 Sv. Users are referred to the methods section of Beadling
et al. (2022) for additional details on the meltwater implementation in
CM4 and ESM4. The datasets in this collection contain model output from
the coupled global climate model, CM4, and Earth System Model, ESM4, both
developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The
ocean_monthly_z and ocean_annual_z output are provided as z depth levels
in meters as opposed to the models native hybrid vertical ocean coordinate
which consists of z* (quasi-geopotential) coordinates in the upper ocean
through the mixed layer, transitioning to isopycnal (referenced to 2000
dbar) in the ocean interior. Please see README for further details. Note:
This data collection is hosted at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Laboratory. Data DOI capability is provided by PUL. Please refer to the
README for a detailed description of the dataset. For questions, please

the title of the dataset. See "how_to_access_data.txt" to access
data files from GDFL servers.
