Model input for initial submission of "Development of a next-generation general ocean circulation model for the Great Lakes" to Geoscientific Model Development.

This dataset contains the numerical model input files that were used to produce the model simulation presented in "Development of a next-generation general ocean circulation model for the Great Lakes." When using these files to run a model, most files should be placed inside a directory named INPUT/ that resides in the working directory where the model is being run. The following files should be at the top level in the working directory: data_table, diag_table, field_table, input.nml. For large files, e.g. for ERA5 forcig files, a subset in time is provided for the first year of the simulation.
