Southern Ocean Nest at 1/12掳
ORION12 is a nested configuration designed to better resolve the mesoscale eddy variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). The ACC is a current of global significance and its rich mesoscale eddy field shapes its dynamics and water mass properties. ORION12 features a 1/12掳 AGRIF nest embedded between 30掳S and 68掳S into a global ocean model at 1/4掳 (ORCA025).
