Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) 1km Model, De Soto Canyon, January 2010-March 2013

This data is from a ROMS (http://www.myroms.org) free-running simulation of the De Soto Canyon region in the North East Gulf of Mexico. The simulation covers the time span January 2010 through March 2013. The vertical grid is stretched to focus vertical resolution near the surface and the horizontal grid has 1km resolution. CFSR data are used for the surface forcing and the model is nested in a data-assimilative global HYCOM model. Rivers are included through point sources with temperature, salinity and momentum fluxes specified and derived from USGS and NOAA data.
