•Major changes from
MICOM
–New vertical
coordinate scheme
–Multiple mixed layer
models, including non-slab models
–Interior convection
due to static instability (two layers exchange fluid when the upper one is more dense)
–Hydrostatic and momentum equations modified to handle non-isopycnic densities and horizontal density gradients
–Choice of
temperature-salinity, temperature-density, or salinity-density advection
