The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2). (2017, methodology): “These include the use in MERRA-2 of the cubed-sphere computational grid (e.g., Putman and Lin 2007), which removes the need for gravity wave ﬁltering at high latitudes, as well as daily SIC and SST boundary conditions (Donlon et al. 2012; Reynolds et al. 2007; Taylor et al. 2000), as compared with…”
Simulations of global hurricane climatology, interannual variability, and response to global warming using a 50-km resolution GCM. (2009, methodology): “…the finite-volume dynamical core (Lin 2004) on a latitude–longitude grid has been replaced by a finite-volume core using a cubedsphere grid topology (Putman and Lin 2007); the number of vertical levels has been increased from 24 to 32; the prognostic cloud fraction scheme has been replaced by a…”
