Simulating the Agulhas system in global ocean models - nesting vs. multi-resolution unstructured meshes
Description: Many questions in ocean and climate modelling require the combined use of high resolution, global coverage and multi-decadal integration length. For this combination, even modern resources limit the use of traditional structured-mesh grids. Here researchers compare two approaches: A high-resolution grid nested into a global model at coarser resolution (NEMO with AGRIF) and an unstructured-mesh grid (FESOM). The Agulhas system around South Africa is used as a testcase. [Source: Ocean Modelling]
