Model output of the global eddy-rich configuration used in the Geoscientific Model Development publication: "Evaluation of the CMCC global eddying ocean model for the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (OMIP2)" Abstract: This paper describes the global eddying ocean-sea ice simulation produced at the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) obtained following the experimental design of the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project phase 2 (OMIP2). The eddy-rich model is based on the NEMOv3.6 framework, with a global horizontal resolution of 1/16° and 98 vertical levels, and was originally designed for an operational short-term ocean forecasting system. Here, it is driven by one multi-decadal cycle of the prescribed JRA55-do atmospheric reanalysis and runoff dataset in order to perform a long-term benchmarking experiment. To access the accuracy of simulated 3D ocean fields, and highlight the relative benefits of mesoscale activities, the GLOB16 performances are evaluated via a selection of key climate ...
