MASNUM model data and results

This repository contains all publicly available data required in the Indian Ocean modeling using the MASNUM ocean circulation model, as well as the simulated temperature, diffusive term and current results. 

Gebco_08: the topography based on the global General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans 2008 (GEBCO_08) data.

Levitus: the annually mean Levitus data are interpolated as the initial temperature and salinity.

NCEP_NCAR: The surface forcing including the momentum, heat and wind stress fluxes are calculated from the monthly mean surface fields of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction / National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis data set from 1948 to 2021.

OSCAR: the multi-year (1993-2021) monthly mean Ocean Surface Current Analyses Real-time (OSCAR) data are regarded as a reference in the comparison of the simulated current.

results: the simulated temperature, diffusive term and current results using the MASNUM ocean model.

result_glob: the global simulated results that can provide the data for the open boundary conditions in the Indian Ocean modeling.

WOA13: The simulated temperature in the last 1 year are compared with the monthly World Ocean Atlas 2013 (WOA13) climatologic data which is regarded as a reference.

BOA-Argo: The grided products from the Argo data, and used to validate the modeling further.
