Daily temperature, salinity, and velocity components from a one-way nested FVCOM-LCFE simulation, Loop Current System, 2010-03-20 to 2010-05-25

An unstructured-grid Finite-Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) is one-way coupled to a 3-km resolution North Atlantic HYCOM model to study the predictability and accuracy of Loop Current System. Special attention was paid to the simulation of the Loop Current Frontal Eddy (LCFE) events. The FVCOM-LCFE model domain covered the eastern Gulf of Mexico and northern part of the Caribbean near the Yucatan Strait. It had variable horizontal resolution, 3-km at the outer edge, 750-m in the Loop Current proper and LCFE area, 1.5-km in between 3-km and 750-m regions. Vertically, there are 81 uniform sigma layers. Simulation period was from 2010-03-20 to 2010-05-25. The simulation output was in NetCDF format. Similar results are available for 2009-04-11 to 2009-05-09 in U2.x857.000:0002 (https://doi.org/10.7266/f0qgx7q6).本数据集采用非结构化网格有限体积海洋模式（Finite-Volume Community Ocean Model, FVCOM）与3公里分辨率北大西洋HYCOM模式进行单向耦合，旨在探究环流水系 (Loop Current System) 的可预报性与模拟精度，重点关注环流锋面涡 (Loop Current Frontal Eddy, LCFE) 事件的模拟。FVCOM-LCFE模式的计算区域覆盖墨西哥湾东部海域及尤卡坦海峡附近的加勒比海北部区域。该模式采用可变水平分辨率：外边界区域分辨率为3公里，环流核心区与LCFE区域分辨率为750米，3公里与750米分辨率的过渡区间分辨率为1.5公里。垂直方向共设置81层均匀σ坐标层。模拟时段为2010年3月20日至2010年5月25日，模拟输出文件采用NetCDF格式。2009年4月11日至2009年5月9日的同类模拟结果可在U2.x857.000:0002中获取（https://doi.org/10.7266/f0qgx7q6）。
