It employs an atmospheric horizontal grid of 3.75 x 3.75 degrees and 26 levels in the vertical with a spectral dynamical core (T31) and an oceanic horizontal grid that consists of a nominal 3 degree resolution with 60 levels in the vertical. This low-resolution version (T31 x 3) can be used for a variety of applications including long equilibrium simulations, development work, and sensitivity studies. 1 The simulation available here is the CCSM4 T31 preindustrial control simulation, and is documented in the reference publication cited below. 1This paragraph is taken with the lead author's permission from Shields et al.
