Check ORCA bathymetry

 

New(3): year 10 of a 10 years spin_up (March 2006)

Summary table comparing original ORCA and 3 new bathymetry runs:

 

Transport means (Sv) OLD NEW(1) NEW(2) NEW(3)
Total (across 5.74°S) 22.8 23.3 22.4 21.7
Vitiaz St 12.0 26.4 16.4 16,4
Solomon St 10.8 –3.7 3.3 2,1
St Georges Channel --- --- 2.7 3,2
New Ireland Coastal C. 17.4 1.8 10.0
