Abstract:

HYCOM + NCODA (HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model + Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation) Gulf of Mexico 1/25° Reanalysis (GOMu0.04/expt_50.1) was downloaded from HYCOM Consortium data server (https://hycom.org/data/gomu0pt04/expt-50pt1). This dataset supports the publication: Meza‐Padilla, R., Enriquez, C., Liu, Y., & Appendini, C. M. (2019). Ocean Circulation in the Western Gulf of Mexico Using Self‐Organizing Maps.

Purpose:

The model output was analyzed using a machine learning technique, the dual Self-Organizing Map (SOM), with a focus on the ocean circulation in the western Gulf of Mexico and its influence by Loop Current eddies.

Data Parameters and Units:

Current velocity (m/s) and salinity (PSU).
