== Boundary Conditions for GEOS-5 ==

This page will describe the available boundary conditions for the GEOS-5 GCM

=== Atmospheric Resolutions ===

Supported atmospheric resolutions are

*Lat-Lon
**72x46 (4-degree)
**144x91 (2-degree)
**288x181 (1-degree)
**576x361 (1/2-degree)
*Cubed-Sphere
**c24 (4-degree equiv.)
**c48 (2-degree equiv.)
**c90 (1-degree equiv.)
**c180 (56 km, 1/2-degree equiv.)
**c360 (28 km, 1/4-degree equiv.)
**c720 (14 km, 1/8-degree equiv.)
**c1440 (7 km, 1/16-degree equiv.)
**c2880 (3.5 km)

=== Ocean Resolutions ===

Ganymed 4.1 currently has support for three data oceans for SSTs:

==== Reynolds ====

Reynolds is a 1-degree ocean SST boundary condition.

==== MERRA-2 ====

MERRA-2 is a 1/4-degree ocean SST boundary condition.

==== OSTIA ====

OSTIA is a 1/8-degree ocean SST boundary condition.
