Additional information is also available in the form of posters.
It includes a discussion of the underlying model equations and information on the model grid, the representation of advection and diffusion, the timestepping scheme and the free surface scheme used by the model. The report also contains information on how the model was initialised for the first main run, how it was forced, the changes that were introduced during the model run and the format of the archived data sets. The report is available as a Portable Document Format or PostScript file. Meridional mass and heat transports and their divergences are calculated, and zonal averages compared with the air-sea exchange values of Doney et al. The large scale distribution of sea surface height and near-surface currents are shown to be well reproduced by the model, but their variance is underestimated, severely so in areas of weak variability.
