Long name: SOwISC12to30kmL80E3SMv3r3

This version of the Southern Ocean Regionally Refined Mesh (SORRM) has resolution that is:

  • 12 km around Antarctica
  • 30 km elsewhere
    It is intended to be similar to the IcoswISC30E3r5 mesh except in the Southern Ocean and around Antarctica.

This is a proposed E3SM v3 (E3) mesh for polar (formerly cryosphere) simulations. This is revision 3 (r3) of the mesh, which includes many changes from revision 2 outlined in MPAS-Dev/compass#807. The mesh is tagged on Compass as: https://github.com/MPAS-Dev/compass/releases/tag/mesh_SOwISC12to30E3r3 to aid reproduction in the future.

The mesh and the G- and B-case results are being reviewed here:
https://acme-climate.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OO/pages/4441145345/Review+SOwISC12to30E3r3

A 30-year G- and 50-year B-case have been run, and analysis is posted on the review page. Here are the simulation pages:

Approved based on test simulations referenced above and discussion in E3SM-Ocean-Discussion#106

I added a default finidat for 1850 conditions with the r05 land grid, which was interpolated from the end of the v3 LR spinup.
10 year test using this finidat is here: https://acme-climate.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PSC/pages/4628250625/20240923.v3.SORRME3r3.piControl.lndIC.chrysalis
Notably there is no initial drastic drop in sea level as in the case with a blank finidat.

@alicebarthel, @cbegeman and @proteanplanet, could you please review and hopefully approve this week?

I examined the land ice mass balance fields and they look as expected. We hope that the negative river runoff anomaly around Amery shown here will be reduced once we have a configuration with the deep firn model.

Approved on the basis of water column depth around ISC, examination of @proteanplanet's mesh figures, and review of simulation results in MPAS-Analysis pages linked above and separately generated surface mass flux figures in the SO.

Approving after examining @proteanplanet's mesh figures, @darincomeau's and @cbegeman's MPAS-Analysis pages.
The Ocean Heat uptake near Zapiola is visible immediately, but I could not find any mesh or topography irregularities in the region, so I don't think this mesh specifically enhances the dynamical problem.
