Multiresolution ocean simulations with FESOM

Unstructured meshes offer geometric flexibility. In the context of large-scale ocean modeling they enable simulations with a regional focus in an otherwise global setup.

Description
Summary:Unstructured meshes offer geometric flexibility. In the context of large-scale ocean modeling they enable simulations with a regional focus in an otherwise global setup. The Finite-Element Sea ice-Ocean circulation Model (FESOM) offers such functionality. A brief review of current FESOM-assisted research will be given, to illustrate the utility of the approach. New developments include a global cell-vertex finite-volume setup which is compared to FESOM in global ocean simulations.
