Neverworld2

This dataset includes the output from idealized primitive equation MOM6 simulations, and is useful for studying ocean mesoscale turbulence over a hierarchy of grid resolutions (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 degree). The model has intermediate complexity, incorporating basin-scale geometry with idealized Atlantic and Southern oceans, and with non-uniform ocean depth to allow for mesoscale eddy interactions with topography. The model is perfectly adiabatic and spans the equator, and thus fills a gap between quasi-geostrophic models, which cannot span two hemispheres, and idealized general circulation models, which generally have diabatic processes and buoyancy forcing. The dataset includes a total of 8 experiments because the simulations were run with two different depths over which the wind stress was applied (hmix = 5 and 20 m).
