Brief description of the setup.

•Initialized with Levitus 05 January climatology for T and S, and SODA January 1958-2007 mean for velocity and SSH. Southern BC – Levitus 05 monthly climatology for TS, and SODA monthly 1958-2007 mean for velocity and SSH.

•Atmospheric forcing from CORE corrected normal year analysis (obtained from 1958-2004 fields).

•River input is from CORE, it is imposed as surface fresh water input.

•No tidal forcing.

•Sea ice.

•Nudging towards T and S climatology is applied. Scale of T- nudging: 20 days at the surface to 100 days at 1000 m depth; scale of S-nudging: 50 days to 100 days from surface to 1000 m.

•Current run – 6 years. Time step – 0.25 hour.

•All results below are from the sixth year of integration.
