Abstract:

The 1km resolution NCOM model, assimilating all available near-real-time satellite and in situ observations, was run from 2017-04-19 to 2017-05-30. The model output provides the guidance for the drifter deployments during the Submesoscale Processes and Lagrangian Analysis on the Shelf (SPLASH) experiment.

Purpose:

The ocean model forecasts provide 3-dimensional evolution of currents, temperature and salinity. These complement the in situ observations of the SPLASH experiment.

Data Parameters and Units:

Eastward Water Velocity (meter/sec); Northward Water Velocity (meter/sec); Water temperature (deg C); Salinity (psu); Longitude (degrees east); Latitude (degrees north); Depth (meters); Time (hour since 2000-01-01 00:00 UTC); Water Surface Elevation (meter).
