“…(2) Biharmonic viscosity and diffusivity schemes are used at the horizontal directions in the equations of momentums and tracers (temperature and salinity), respectively. Meanwhile, the parameterization of mesoscale eddies from Gent and McWilliams [18] is turned off in the equations of tracers.…”

“…For the integrations considered here, the atmosphere model (CAM3) (Collins et al 2006b) is run at T85 resolution (approximately 1.4 degrees) with 26 vertical levels. The ocean model (Smith and Gent 2004) includes an isopycnal transport parameterization (Gent and McWilliams 1990) and a surface boundary layer formulation following Large et al (1994). The dynamic-thermodynamic sea ice model (Briegleb et al 2004;Holland et al 2006b) uses the elasticviscous-plastic rheology (Hunke and Dukowicz 1997), a sub-gridscale ice thickness distribution (Thorndike et al 1975;Lipscomb 2001) and the thermodynamics of Bitz and Lipscomb (1999).…”

“…Nonlinear momentum terms are solved using a vector invariant formulation (Adcroft et al 2004) with viscous dissipation following Leith (1969), but modified to dissipate divergence as well as vorticity. In our model configuration, the parameterization of geostrophic eddies using the method of Gent-McWilliams (GM)/Redi (Redi 1982;Gent and McWilliams 1990) was disabled. Furthermore, there is no overflow parameterization.…”
