Abstract:
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).

Metadata Record:
Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
