Dataset for: Vertical and horizontal resolution dependency in the model representation of tracer dispersion along the continental slope in the northern Gulf of Mexico

This dataset contains four of the nine sets of model output resulting from an investigation on the effects of horizontal and vertical resolution on model representation of tracer dispersion along the continental slope in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The investigation involved a collaborative effort between the Ecosystem Impacts of Oil and Gas Inputs to the Gulf (ECOGIG) and Gulf of Mexico Integrated Spill Response (GISR) research consortia. This dataset contains the GISR-funded contribution to the study. The model output from the remaining five datasets will be submitted separately by ECOGIG. This dataset supports the publication: Bracco, A., Choi, J., Kurian, J., & P. Chang. (2018).
