Abstract:

Subset of the Global HYCOM data for the Gulf of Mexico region. Each daily NetCDF file contains all model variables. This dataset reports latitude, longitude, ocean mixed layer thickness, surface downward heat flux in air, water flux into the ocean, surface temperature trend, surface salinity trend, sea surface elevation, depth, salinity, potential temperature, eastaward velocity and northward velocity. Longitudes conform with the -180.0 +180.0 notation.

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:

HYCOM parameters: Longitude (degrees East); Time (days since 1900-12-31 00:00:00); Date (day as %Y%M%D); Latitude (degrees North); Ocean mixed layer thickness (m); Surface downward heat flux in air (w/m^2); Water flux into ocean (kg/m^2 s); Surface temperature trend (deg C/day); Surface salinity trend (psu/day); Sea surface elevation (m); Depth (m); Salinity (psu); Sea water potential temperature (deg C); Eastward seawater velocity (u, m/s); Northward seawater velocity (v, m/s)
