Data underlying the publication: "CAR36, a regional high-resolution ocean forecasting system for improving drift and beaching of Sargassum in the Caribbean Archipelago."

These data correspond to the <strong>1-year (2019)</strong> simulation from the regional ocean system CAR36. These <strong>daily hindcasts</strong> have been used in the study presented in the paper submitted in GMD editor and entitled: "CAR36, a regional high-resolution ocean forecasting system for improving drift and beaching of Sargassum in the Caribbean Archipelago", where the CAR36 system is fully described. <br> The uploaded files are in <strong>netcdf</strong> format: <em>CAR36_daily_SSH_20190102-20191224.nc</em> = 1-year daily hindcasts of <strong>Sea Surface Height </strong> <em>CAR36_daily_SST_20190102-20191224.nc </em>= 1-year daily hindcasts of <strong>Sea Surface Temperature</strong> <em>CAR36_daily_SSU_20190102-20191224.nc</em> = 1-year daily hindcasts of <strong>Sea Surface Current Speed (zonal component)</strong> <em>CAR36_daily_SSV_20190102-20191224.nc</em> = 1-year daily hindcasts of <strong>Sea Surface Current Speed (meridian component)</strong> All data are projected on the native model tripolar<strong> ORCA grid</strong> <strong>in 1/36° </strong>horizontal resolution. NB: In order to filter (in a 1st order) the semi-diurnal tidal signal (with a period of 12h30), the daily mean corresponds to a 25h-average.
