Bay of Plenty Ocean Hindcast

The Bay of Plenty Ocean Hindcast model is a 25+ years (1993-2020) 3D hydrodynamic hindcast for the Bay of Plenty region. While this repository contains a sample file of the daily average for one month, the full dataset can be downloaded from the Moana Project THREDDS server Model results are available as hourly and daily average values for temperature, salinity, velocity (u, v, w), and sea surface elevation. A full description of the simulation is provided by Montaño M. M., Suanda S. H., de Souza J. M. A. C. (2023).
