Short summary

We present an efficient ocean model coupled to a 3-D climate model (the Generic-PCM) that captures key features of ocean heat transport, matching well the global heat flows of more complex models. It closely reproduces Earth’s sea surface temperatures and sea ice, while influencing atmospheric circulation consistently. Balancing speed and accuracy, the model is ideal for exoplanet and paleoclimate studies, where observations are limited and broad parameter exploration is necessary.
