Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model Output

This archive has three distinct Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) outputs. The output grids are for isopycnal layers, at one-twelfth degree spatial and three-day temporal resolution. Water temperature, salinity, and velocity components are the primary output variables. The model domain is the Atlantic Ocean from 65-70N to 28S latitude and in two cases includes the Mediterranean Sea. The three cases are briefly outlined below and differ primarily in the atmospheric forcing that is used.

* MICOM.ICOADS
* International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) mean wind forcing
* Domain: 28S to 65N, 98W to 17E
* 16 isopycnal layers
* Six years of data

* MICOM.ECMWF
* ECMWF mean wind forcing
* Domain 28S to 70N, 98W to 36E, includes the Mediterranean Sea
* 20 isopycnal layers
* Three years of data

* MICOM.DAILY
* ECMWF 6-hourly forcing (wind, surface radiation, air temperature and humidity)
* Domain 28S to 70N, 98W to 36E, includes the Mediterranean Sea
* 20 isopycnal layers
* 1979-1986

Details about the model forcing, mixing parameterization, bottom topography, computational requirements, and browse graphics are available at the MICOM website [http://oceanmodeling.rsmas.miami.edu]

本存档包含三个独立的海米岛等密度坐标海洋模型（Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model，简称MICOM）输出。输出网格针对等密度层，空间分辨率为十二分之一度，时间分辨率为三天。水温、盐度和流速分量为主要输出变量。模型区域覆盖大西洋，从65-70N纬度至28S纬度，其中两种情况包含地中海。以下简要概述了三种情况，它们的主要区别在于所采用的气象强迫条件。

* MICOM.ICOADS
* 国际综合海洋大气数据集（International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set，简称ICOADS）平均风强迫
* 范围：28S至65N，98W至17E
* 16个等密度层
* 六年数据

* MICOM.ECMWF
* ECMWF平均风强迫
* 范围：28S至70N，98W至36E，包含地中海
* 20个等密度层
* 三年数据

* MICOM.DAILY
* ECMWF每六小时强迫（风速、表面辐射、空气温度和湿度）
* 范围：28S至70N，98W至36E，包含地中海
* 20个等密度层
* 1979-1986年数据
