Ocean model simulations in cold-water coral ecosystems off the coasts of Angola and Namibia in the Southeast Atlantic: Setup, boundary conditions and model results.

The dataset contains all essential data for the setup of high-resolution local area model implementations using the ROMS-AGRIF model version 3.1 in two cold-water coral regions off the coasts of Angola and Namibia in the Southeast Atlantic. The data include computational grids, initialization fields (temperature, salinity), and boundary conditions (temperature, salinity, currents, and sea surface height) for each model area. It also includes model output, which has been used in different studies of the local oceanography of the region .

Initialization, forcing and output data for each ROMS-AGRIF model implementation are provided in two compressed archive data files:

Angola Margin: Angola_Model_Setup1.7z

Namibia Margin: Namibia_Model_Setup1.7z

The data set description is provided in the file:
