Abstract:

The dataset is created by NEK500, which is non-hydrostatic, moving-mesh, spectral element numerical solver for Navier-Stokes equation. This dataset contains the results of the comparison of simulated Langmuir circulation using the Navier-Stokes (N-S) and the Craik-Leibovich (C-L) equations. Specifically, this data is for passive tracer field (temperature), which is used to show how material are being transported. These data have been used to generate figure 3(g, h) in the manuscript: Wang, P., & Özgökmen, T. M. (2018). Langmuir Circulation With Explicit Surface Waves From Moving-Mesh Modeling. Geophysical Research Letters, 45(1), 216–226. doi:10.1002/2017gl076009
