摘要

NASA’s Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) infrastructure was used to couple a cloud-admitting (7-km grid, 72 levels) configuration of the GEOS atmospheric model with a mesoscale-resolving (2–4-km grid, 90 levels) Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) configuration of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (MITgcm), and to conduct a 14-month “nature” simulation initialized with January 20, 2020, 21Z conditions. The output of this simulation is contained in the dataset described here. The NASA GEOS/ECCO Coupled Nature Run includes astronomical tidal forcing in the ocean component of the simulation, an interactive aerosol component and aerosol-cloud interactions in the atmosphere, and the storage of copious amounts of model output. The inclusion of tidal forcing permits a more realistic representation of vertical mixing in the ocean and of high-frequency variability that is aliased in satellite observations. All of the above make this simulation well suited as a nature run in Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) and for the study of high frequency/wavenumber coupled processes in weather and climate.
