  • "QU.240km" : Quasi-uniform spherical mesh, with approximately 240km horizontal resolution

  • "mpaso.IcoswISC30E3r5" : Icosahedral 30 km MPAS-Ocean mesh with ice shelf cavities

  • "mpasli.AIS8to30" : 8-30 km resolution planar non-periodic MALI mesh of Antarctica

  • "doubly_periodic_4x4": Doubly periodic planar mesh that is four cells wide in both the x and y dimensions.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – Name of the file containing the dataset. (e.g. "QU.960km")

  • cache_dir (path-like, optional) – The directory in which to search for and write cached data
