Abstract:

This dataset includes observed and model simulated current data (36-h filtered) on Buoys C18, C12, and C11 in 2007;  model simulated monthly-mean near surface salinity and current components over the model grid in April and May 2007;  surface and bottom particles trajectories results in April 2007.

Purpose:

To develop a regional 3D Earth System Model that includes interfacial exchange processes between sediment, water, and atmosphere; biogeochemical processes, the transport of organisms, and the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on all of these processes.

Data Parameters and Units:

Observed and modeled velocity (cm/s); Temperature (degrees C); Particle locations (longitude and latitude).
