Abstract

Model output of the hydrographic properties, velocity, and diagnostic terms from a West Antarctic Peninsula model. These data were published in Wang et al. (2022).

Cite Dataset

The model outputs are from a high-resolution (1.5 km) numerical model - Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), including dynamic sea-ice and static ice shelves. The model simulation covers the period 2006-2012 and is forced by atmospheric output from the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System and ERA-Interim. More details of the model simulation can be found in Graham et al. (2016).  The model outputs list here cover the period from December/02/2007 – November/31/2009.

ROMS version used: ROMSv3.6. Information on ROMS model can be found at: https://www.myroms.org/wiki/

The dataset includes eleven sets of data files (netcdf, data).  See "Data Files" section for access.

  1. Model grid file (sub_grid.nc) that contains the model grid information for the specific region.
  2. The varinfo.dat specifies the information about the input/output rules for the model.
  3. Model output of the simulated potential temperature (temp.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of potential temperature.
  4. Model output of the simulated salinity (salt.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of salinity.
  5. Model output of the simulated velocity (u.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of u-velocity.
  6. Model output of the simulated velocity (v.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of v-velocity.
  7. Model output of the diagnostic (temp_rate.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of diagnostic field: potential temperature, time rate of change.
  8. Model output of the diagnostic (temp_hdiff.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of diagnostic field: potential temperature, horizontal diffusion term.
  9. Model output of the diagnostic (temp_vdiff.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of diagnostic field: potential temperature, vertical diffusion term.
  10. Model output of the diagnostic (temp_xadv.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of diagnostic field: potential temperature, horizontal XI-advection term.
  11. Model output of the diagnostic (temp_yadv.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of diagnostic field: potential temperature, horizontal ETA-advection term.
  12. Model output of the diagnostic (temp_vadv.nc) for the specific region. The file contains daily average of diagnostic field: potential temperature, vertical-advection term.
