Experiment title : AUS2200 simulation of June 2016 east coast subtropical cyclone with Tasman Sea SST replaced with climatology SST.
Summary :
We would like to run an additional AUS2200 simulation of the East Coast Low complex of early June 2016. This simulation will investigate the relative roles of the record warm waters in the Coral and Tasman Seas. For this simulation we will replace the Tasman Sea SST with climatological SST while employing a buffer around the edge of the adjusted region to avoid sharp SST gradient features. Aside from the SST change, the simulation will be run under the same setup as previous experiments (ECL-2016_smooth and ECL-2016_smallshift).
Experiment Name : ECL-2016_tasclim
People : Chris Chambers, Yi Huang
Model: AUS2200
Initial conditions: A box of the 1980 to 2019, 3 June ERA5 climatology SST over the Tasman Sea region will be inserted into the 3 June 2016 SST. 3 or more buffer boxes will be added at the box edge to smooth the edge transition.
Run plan: 5 day, 0000 UTC 3 June to 0000 UTC 8 June, 2016
Total KSUs required : 5 days * 16 kSU/day = 80kSU
Total storage required : 2 TB
