Details

There are a large number of parameters and parameterizations in use in the various AOMIP models. We present below a summary of these values for each of the AOMIP model components: ocean, sea-ice, atmosphere (see tables below).

Vertical Grid Coordinates	Horizontal grid coordinates
Time step	Upper surface and bottom layers
Open boundaries	Bottom topography
Equation of state	Friction
Mixing	Advection methods
Restoring	Rivers
Sea ice dynamics	Sea ice thermodynamics
Atmosphere-Ocean exchange	Atmosphere-ice exchange
Ocean-ice exchange	Radiation
