Influence of Atmospheric and Oceanic Model Resolution on Volume and Heat Transports through Arctic Gateways in Coupled Climate Simulations
Coupled climate simulations were performed with four different combinations of atmospheric and oceanic horizontal resolutions in our mixed-resolution experiments (OCE_LR+T63, OCE_LR+T127, OCE_HR+T63, OCE_HR+T127). We investigated the effect of horizontal grid resolution on volume and heat transports...
