“…Recent POP Ž . simulations of the North Atlantic Smith et al, 2000 have shown substantial improvement in both the mean flow and eddy variability as the resolution reaches 0.18. The California Current System will be a significant point of comparison for upcoming 0.18 global ocean simulations.…”

“…where Figure 10 (top left) shows the time-mean kinetic energy from a global 0.1 degree simulation of the North Atlantic Ocean (Smith et al, 2000). We use this data set to determine both the boundary of the North Atlantic ocean and an appropriate density function, and then construct the CVT mesh based on this information; see (Ringler et al, 2008) for details.…”

We review the use of Voronoi tessellations for grid generation, especially on the whole sphere or in regions on the sphere. Voronoi tessellations and the corresponding Delaunay tessellations in regions and surfaces on Euclidean space are defined and properties they possess that make them well-suited for grid generation purposes are discussed, as are algorithms for their construction. This is followed by a more detailed look at one very special type of Voronoi tessellation, the centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT). After defining them, discussing some of their properties, and presenting algorithms for their construction, we illustrate the use of CVTs for producing both quasi-uniform and variable resolution meshes in the plane and on the sphere. Finally, we briefly discuss the computational solution of model equations based on CVTs on the sphere.

“…One reason for these dissimilarities might be the different spatial resolution in each model. Previous studies have shown that when ocean models are integrated at higher resolution, the representation of these currents is improved due to the better representation of meso-scale features (Smith et al 2000;Bryan et al 2007). This is, however, not necessarily the case for the INM model, which has the highest spatial resolution compared to the other models shown in Fig.…”

We evaluated 11 coupled climate model simulations regarding the spatial structures of sea-surface temperature (SST) variability in the North Atlantic, during the second half of the twentieth century. The subset of models includes CCSM4, CSIRO, CanESM and MPI-ESM, participating in the fifth phase of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project. The evaluation was performed to determine the potential of these models to be used at a later stage as test beds for the evaluation of climate field reconstruction methods that will use the extremely long-lived bivalve mollusk Arctica islandica, an outstanding paleoclimate archive for the boreal and temperate North Atlantic (Schöne, Glob Planet Change 111:199–225, 2013). Several validation metrics such as the mean bias, variance, spatial and temporal co-variability and trends of the North Atlantic summer SSTs showed that some of the models can be used to test paleoclimatic reconstructions. However, most models showed shortcomings in simulating the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation. Concerning the co-variability of summer SSTs between proxy sites and the whole North Atlantic SST field, we found that these proxy locations contain a SST signal that might represent a (basin-wide) signal for the north-eastern North Atlantic basin
