Dataset for: Mesoscale and submesoscale mechanisms behind asymmetric cooling and phytoplankton blooms induced by hurricanes: a comparison between an open ocean case and a continental shelf sea case

This modeling dataset contains physical and biological variables that simulate the response of the idealized ocean in the Northern Hemisphere to an idealized translating tropical cyclone. The data was generated by the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), coupled with a biological model, and the variable values are recorded every two hours for ten full days. The dataset contains the model output (e.i., currents, temperature, salinity, phytoplankton, Zooplankton, and nutrients), model set up configuration, idealized hurricane information, and bathymetric data for both study cases: Deep ocean (Case 1) and Continental Shelf Sea (Case 2). This dataset supports the publication: McGee, L., & He, R. (2018).
