Supporting Data for Icelandic Riverine Freshwater Distribution, Offshore Export, and Alongshelf Connectivity

This dataset contains the supporting data for figures in “Icelandic Riverine Freshwater Distribution, Offshore Export, and Alongshelf Connectivity,” a manuscript for Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science by Michael M. Whitney (affiliated with the University of Connecticut). This study simulates Iceland’s shelf and open-ocean waters to investigate riverine freshwater distributions and transports. Tracers are applied to determine flushing times and quantify exports to the open ocean relative to downshelf transports. Results have broader relevance to Iceland’s coastal ecosystems and transports on other continental shelves. The dataset includes MATLAB data files that contain all the output data presented in the corresponding figures within the manuscript. Details about variables and units are described within the figure captions and manuscript text. Modified model code, settings, and input files are included for the Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) application. The FORTRAN code files have the modifications for tracers that allow for decay in deep waters. The manuscript contains complete descriptions of methods, analysis, and interpretation.

Whitney，隶属于康涅狄格大学（University of Connecticut）。 本研究以冰岛陆架及开阔海域为模拟对象，旨在探究河流淡水的分布与输运过程。研究通过示踪剂（tracer）计算水体更新时间，并量化对比了开阔海输出与陆架下侧输运的通量。本研究结果对冰岛沿岸生态系统及其他大陆架的输运研究具有广泛参考价值。 本数据集包含对应论文配图中全部展示数据的MATLAB数据文件，变量与单位的详细说明见论文配图图例及正文内容。同时附带了区域海洋模型系统（Regional Ocean Modeling System, ROMS）应用所需的修改版模型代码、配置参数及输入文件：其中FORTRAN代码文件实现了允许深层水体示踪剂衰减的修改功能；完整的研究方法、分析与解读说明均载于论文正文中。 ### MATLAB数据文件列表 Figure01_data.mat Figure02_data.mat Figure03_data.mat Figure04_data.mat Figure05_data.mat Figure06_data.mat Figure07_data.mat Figure08_data.mat ### 修改版ROMS代码文件列表 def_info.F mod_scalars.F read_phypar.F step3d_t.F wrt_info.F ana_passive.h ana_psource.h ### ROMS配置与输入文件列表 iceland.h roms.in boundary2km_lonlatgrid.nc rivers2km_with_additional_rivers_lonlatgrid.nc grid_iceland2km_lonlatgrid.nc iceland2km_lonlatgrid_tideforcing_M2_NA_phase010119.nc initial2km_lonlatgrid_yearend_dyes.nc windforcing2km_lonlatgrid.nc
