TL;DR: LOVECLIM 1.2 as discussed by the authors is a 3D Earth system model of intermediate complexity, which includes representations of the atmosphere, the ocean and sea ice, the land surface (including vegetation), the ice sheets, the icebergs and the carbon cycle.

TL;DR: The new version of the three-dimensional Earth system model of intermediate complexity LOVECLIM reproduces well the major characteristics of the observed climate both for present-day conditions and for key past periods such as the last millennium, the mid-Holocene and the Last Glacial Maximum, but some biases are still present in the model.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extended version of the Csanady model, called the idealised model (IM), is applied to the lagoon of Mururoa located in the Pacific.

TL;DR: The authors focus exclusively on the dynamically passive tracers and analyze some different approaches to the numerical discretization, findingMonotonic schemes are designed but are found to be rather complex, while simpler, linear schemes are shown to produce unphysical undershooting and overshooting.

TL;DR: Another reason why simple discretizations of rotated diffusion operators cause problems in ocean models was discussed in this article, where Isoneutral diffusion in a z-coordinate ocean model was discussed.
