A 1/16 degrees eddying simulation of the global NEMO sea-ice-ocean system

Analysis of a global eddy-resolving simulation using the NEMO general circulation model is presented. The model has 1/16 degrees horizontal spacing at the Equator, employs two displaced poles in the Northern Hemisphere, and uses 98 vertical levels. The simulation was spun up from rest and integrated for 11 model years, using ERA-Interim reanalysis as surface forcing. Primary intent of this hindcast is to test how the model represents upper ocean characteristics and sea ice properties.
