S1 giaf.c112.tidal.2DE10 Schmittner ER03 2D 10 [1,310] Schmittner's "2DE" with tidal_mix_max=10.
S2 giaf.c112.tidal.3DE10 Schmittner ER03 3D 10 [1,310] Schmittner's "2DE" with tidal_mix_max=10.
S3 giaf.c112.tidal.2DGN.001 Schmittner GN13 ("new") 2D 100 [1,310] "2DGN". Same as S1, except E(x,y,z) from GN and tidal_mix_max=100
S4 giaf.c112.tidal.3DGN.001 Schmittner GN13 ("new") 3D 100 [1,310] "3DGN". Same as S2, except E(x,y,z) from GN and tidal_mix_max=100
S5 giaf.c112.tidal.3DGN.003 Schmittner GN13 ("new") 3D 100 [249,310] Same as S4, except E(x,y,z,t) from GN formed by imposing the 18.6-year lunar cycle on the otherwise time-invariant GN E(x,y,z). Note that this experiment started at the end of the fourth 62-year GIAF forcing cycle.
S6 giaf.c112.tidal.2DGN.005 Schmittner GN13 ("new") 2D 100 [1,310] Same as S5 -- E(x,y,z,t) from GN formed by imposing the 18.6-year lunar cycle on the otherwise time-invariant GN E(x,y,z) -- except
  1. 2D, not 3D,
  2. this experiment started at year 1, the first of the five 62-year GIAF forcing cycles,
  3. a tidal-diffusion "floor" value of 1.0 was imposed in a small region in the Denmark Strait in the two bottom-most active levels, in order to control instability.

Schmittner Pre-Production Cases

These cases are the first exploratory/production Schmittner cases, which followed extensive correctness-testing cases that are not listed here.

PP.S001 giaf.c112.tidal.2DE.000 Schmittner ER03 2D 100 N/A First attempt at "2DE". Produced unrealistic solutions.
PP.S002 giaf.c112.tidal.2DE50 Schmittner ER03 2D 50 [1,310] 2DE sensitivity: tidal_mix_max=50
PP.S003 giaf.c112.tidal.2DE5 Schmittner ER03 2D 5 [1,310] 2DE sensitivity: tidal_mix_max=5
PP.S004 giaf.c112.tidal.3DE.000 Schmittner ER03 3D 100 [1,310] First attempt at "3DE". Produced unrealistic solutions.

Schmittner Preliminary Exploratory Cases

These cases are the first failed exploratory/production Schmittner cases, which followed extensive correctness-testing cases that are not listed here.

E.S001 giaf.c112.tidal.2DE.001 Schmittner ER03 2D 1 N/A Same as PP.S001, except tidal_mix_max=1. Case failed.
E.S002 giaf.c112.tidal.3DGN.003 Schmittner GN13 ("new") 3D 100 [1,129) Same as S5 -- E(x,y,z,t) from GN formed by imposing the 18.6-year lunar cycle on the otherwise time-invariant GN E(x,y,z) -- except this experiment started at year 1, the first of the five 62-year GIAF forcing cycles. This experiment failed in January, year 129, due to an instability in the Denmark Strait.
E.S003 giaf.c112.tidal.2DGN.004 Schmittner GN13 ("new") 2D 100 [1,129) Same as E.S002, --(E(x,y,z,t) from GN formed by imposing the 18.6-year lunar cycle on the otherwise time-invariant GN E(x,y,z) -- except 2D. This experiment failed in January, year 129, due to an instability in the Denmark Strait, and nearly the same time and place as the 3D counterpart.
