Purpose:

The bathymetry data downloaded from NOAA ngdc and is used to build the computational grid of Barataria Bay and Northern Gulf of Mexico to predict the oil trajectories during the period of 2010 from April to August.

Data Parameters and Units:

Longitude (lon, degrees east); Latitude (lat, degrees north); Bathymetry/Depth (h, meters); nodes surrounding element (nv)
