Model configuration and input files for: "CARIB12: A Regional Community Earth System Model / Modular Ocean Model 6 Configuration of the Caribbean Sea"

This collection hosts the configuration and input files to reproduce the regional CESM/MOM6 simulation in: "CARIB12: A Regional Community Earth System Model / Modular Ocean Model 6 Configuration of the Caribbean Sea". The initial, open boundary conditions and monthly means for the sponge layers were generated from the GLORYS12V1 reanalysis: https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2021.698876

The tidal amplitudes and phases were generated from the TPXO model: https://doi.org/10.1175/1520-0426(2002)019<0183:EIMOBO>2.0.CO;2 

The monthly Chlorophyll-a climatology was generated from the SeaWifs mission dataset: 10.5067/ORBVIEW-2/SEAWIFS/L3M/CHL/2018

The river runoff to ocean was generated from the GloFAS dataset: https://doi.org/10.24381/cds.a4fdd6b9 

The topography was generated from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission: https://doi.org/10.1029/2019EA000658 and smoothed with a Cressman weighted interpolation scheme.

This collection does not include the JRA55-do atmospheric forcing dataset: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2018.07.002
