Visualizing NeverWorld2: A set of ocean simulations to study mesoscale eddies across resolutions

Published: 10 September 2023 Publication History

Abstract

NeverWorld2 is an idealized configuration implemented using the Modular Ocean Model dynamical core (MOM6) for studying mesoscale eddies. It was run at four horizontal grid spacings of 1/4°, 1/8°, 1/16°, and 1/32°. The model was configured to use adiabatic physics, which allows the solutions to achieve a quasi-equilibrium state relatively fast. This visualization shows eddies being resolved at these four resolutions. The eddies that are resolved at the highest resolutions imply significant computational cost savings because of NeverWorld2’s adiabatic physics.
