| Type: | Model |
| Description: | Instituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia Global climate model version INGV-SXG is a global coupled model representing atmosphere, sea ice, land surface, and oceans. Model components consist of: INGV-SXG (SINTEX-G). ECHAM4.6, OPA8.2, LIM(Louvain-La-Neuve sea-ice model).(2005) Resolution: Atmosphere - horizontal res: T106 (about 1.125o x1.125o).vertical res: L19 Ocean OPA8.2 - Quasi-isotrope tri-polar grid (2 poles in the northern hemisphere, one over Canada and the other over Siberia. 2° resolution Mercator grid (i.e.x=y) with enhanced meridional resolution in the vicinity of the equator and in Med and Red seas (1°) sea ice LIM - Horizontal resolution: same as ocean model (2° in longitude and roughly 2° cos(phi) in latitude; equations for ice motion and transport written in curvilinear, orthogonal coordinates; staggered spatial grid of type B). Layers: 3 (1 in snow and 2 in ice), Thickness categories: 2 (level ice and leads). |
