Main Model Config: INALT60
Description: The configurations INALT60 and INALT20r have been developed by Franziska U. Schwarzkopf and René Schubert in coordination with Arne Biastoch within three distinct phases: After the first phase, both configurations have been introduced as part of the INALT family in Schwarzkopf et al. (2019; https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-12-3329-2019). Subsequently, in the second phase, the configurations have been further developed as described in Schubert et al. (2019; https://doi.org/10.1029/2019MS001724). Based on this development, a series of four parallel model experiments has been executed that formed the basis for the dissertation of René Schubert (https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:8-mods-2020-00151-7) and the publications Schubert et al. (2019, 2020 (https://doi.org/10.1175/JPO-D-19-0311.1), 2021(https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-00271-y)). Finally, in a third phase, a series of longer parallel INALT20r experiments have been developed that has not yet been used for further publications.

Coupling: ocean-only
Domain Size: INALT60 consists of a 1/4degree global host, a first 1/20degree nest and a secondary 1/60degree nest for the core Agulhas region. It has1442×1021grid points in the host grid, 1804×1024 in the first nest and 2404×1483 in the second nest. The global 1/4degree configuration without both nest is called ORCA025
