M2 internal tide modal energy terms from a global HYCOM simulation

This data set contains modal energy terms from a forward global HYCOM simulation (22.1) with realistic tide and atmospheric forcing as discussed in https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2020.101656 (On the interplay between horizontal resolution and wave drag and their effect on tidal baroclinic mode waves in realistic global ocean simulations, 2020, MC Buijsman, GR Stephenson, JK Ansong, BK Arbic, JAM Green, ... Ocean Modelling 152, 101656). Please cite this article when using these data. 

This is a 4-km simulation with 41 layers. All data is on the native tripole grid. Data is stored as netcdf4 classic. The 2D data sets are 7055 x 9000 (lat x lon).

The data set contains

The time-mean and depth-integrated M2 mode 1-5 energy terms: x (eastward) and y (northward) fluxes, KE, APE, conversion, flux divergence, and the intermodal energy conversion (topographic mode coupling) term. The terms are computed for a two-week time series starting on GMT 01-Sep-2016 01:00:00. For details see the paper.

Positive seafloor depth, and latitude and longitude coordinates
