ABSTRACT

We have developed the Hallberg Isopycnal Model (HIM) into a realistic one degree global model useful for studies of ocean circulation, biogeochemistry, and climate. Mixed layer depths in the bulk mixed layer scheme we use are sensitive to an included parameterization for the efficiency of wind-driven mixing. The overflows are sensitive to parameterizations of the bottom boundary layer. We will present preliminary results of CFC-11, CFC-12, and perturbation anthropogenic CO2 distributions.
