CGCM3.1(T63)

Country of origin: Canada
Host Organisation: Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling & Analysis (CCCMA)

Description :

Atmosphere: T63, 1.9° degrees lat/lon and 31 levels in the vertical. Ocean: The ocean grid shares the same land mask as the atmosphere, but in this case there are 6 ocean grids underlying every atmospheric grid cell. The ocean resolution is therefore approximately 1.4 degrees in longitude and 0.94 degrees in latitude. This provides slightly better resolution of zonal currents in the Tropics, more nearly isotropic resolution at mid latitudes, and somewhat reduced problems with converging meridians in the Arctic.
