Arctic-North Atlantic High Resolution Model
The model is implemented using a 1/8o ROMS model. 50 vertical levels.
Grid size [1258 x 780 x 50]

Arctic-North Atlantic High Resolution Model
Proposed Simulations
- Model-spin up: 1985 -1989
- Hindcast simulation: 1990 - 2007
- Forecast simulation: 2008 - 2028
 Initial field
    - SODA fields (u,v,t,s,ssh) from 1st 1985 January

Arctic-North Atlantic High Resolution Model
Forcing
- COREv2 fields (winds, heat flux, specific humidity, surface air pressure, air temperature, precipitation and river runoff)
- Fields available from 1958-2007
- Issue with leap years (has 365 days all years)
- Time-series off by 12 days due to 12 leap years
* Fixed leap year issue
* Made CORE fields ROMS compatible

Arctic-North Atlantic High Resolution Model
Boundary Conditions (SODA)
- Western boundary closed
- Southern boundary open
- Eastern and Northern boundary (either open or closed and replaced with point sources at Mediterranean and Bering Strait). Discussion?

Arctic-North Atlantic High Resolution Model
Simulation Log
- Difficult to test the model with the high resolution set-up due to size.
-  JuliaÕs low resolution model used to test NASA cluster, ROMS code and CORE forcing.
Low-Res climatology run
Low-Res climatology run with sea-ice
Low-Res interannual run
Low-Res interannual run with sea-ice
? High-Res interannual run starting from 1985 with sea-ice

Arctic-North Atlantic High Resolution Model
High-Res Simulation
- crashes after 1st time step
- Netcdf writing issue (has a limit of 2GB on 32-bit and 4GB on 64-bit)
- We have to be judicious about what variables to write
-  Storage intervals (save 1-day, 3-day or 5-day output?)
* Debugging is ongoing
