The Modular Arbitrary-Order Ocean-Atmosphere Model: MAOOAM v1.0

This paper describes a reduced-order quasi-geostrophic coupled ocean–atmosphere model that allows for an arbitrary number of atmospheric and oceanic modes to be retained in the spectral decomposition. The modularity of this new model allows one to easily modify the model physics. Using this new mode...
