GOSI9: UK Global Ocean and Sea Ice configurations by C. Guiavarc'h, D. Storkey, A. T. Blaker, E. Blockley, A. Megann, H. Hewitt, M. J. Bell, D. Calvert, D. Copsey, B. Sinha, S. Moreton, P. Mathiot, P. Mathiot, B. An

“…The temperature and salinity drifts are largely reduced thanks to the upgrade to NEMO 4.0.4 and the adoption of fourth-order horizontal and vertical advections helping to reduce the numerical mixing. To improve the representation of the Southern Ocean, a scale-aware form of the Gent–McWilliams parameterization and the application of a partial-slip lateral boundary condition on momentum in the Southern Ocean have been added, resulting in a stronger and more realistic Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport and a reduction in the temperature and salinity biases along the shelf of Antarctica. …”
