Title
WarmWorld - ELPHE: Enabling Lagrangian particle tracking for high-resolution and unstructured meshes
General information
The project is part of BMBF funding initiative WarmWorld and aims to extend the usability of a widely applied Lagrangian particle tracking toolbox, Parcels, to ocean models with hexagonal and triangular grids such as ICON and FESOM2. It will intercompare three models, ICON, FESOM2 and NEMO, regarding their simulated particle paths in the Atlantic, employing a range of resolutions that enable various oceanic processes to be either parameterized or resolved. This will enable us to investigate which role these processes play in the distribution of water masses across the Atlantic.
