CCCMA CGCM3.1 (t63), Canada
| Type: | Model |
| Description: | CCCMA CGCM3.1 (t63), Canada Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) Coupled Global Climate Model (CGCM3)Version 3 The T63 version has a surface grid whose spatial resolution is roughly 2.8 degrees lat/lon and 31 levels in the vertical. As before the ocean grid shares the same land mask as the atmosphere, but in this case there are 6 ocean grids underlying every atmospheric grid cell. The ocean resolution is therefore approximately 1.4 degrees in longitude and 0.94 degrees in latitude. This provides slightly better resolution of zonal currents in the Tropics, more nearly isotropic resolution at mid latitudes, and somewhat reduced probles with converging meridians in the Arctic. |
