Short summary
This article applies Schwarz-Christoffel (SC) conformal mappings for single-connected and multiple-connected regions to the generation of general orthogonal grids for OGCMs, to achieve 1) the enlarged lat-lon proportion, 2) the removal of landmass and easier load balancing, 3) better spatial resolution on continental boundaries, and 4) alignment of grid lines to large-scale coastlines. The generated grids could be readily utilized by the majority of OGCMs that support general orthogonal grids.
