Conclusions

Kickoff EPIDOM

A nudging methodology to generate initial states has been presented. The nudging to T and S seems to alter somehow the ocean transports (heat and MOC) comparing to a non nudged simulation.

When initialising from nudging experiments, the model initial shock is enhanced as the nudging to ocean reanalyses is « stronger ».

The initial shock is identified as the generation of El Niño states due to the model heat release.

When initialised from HISTNUD15, the model reaches the historical run in aproximately 3-4 yrs.

The model drift has a regional behaviour, in particular there is a strong warming drift in the Southern Hemisphere (south out of 35°S)
