NWSJEMS Circulation Model Outputs: 5km Resolution

The dataset comprises output from a circulation model of the NWS based on the three-dimensional non-linear hydrodynamic model referred to as MECO. The model spans the Pilbara coast (Ningaloo to Port Hedland) with a horizontal resolution of approximately 5km and vertical resolution expanding from 3 m near the surface to a maximum of 200m at depths below 1000m. Outputs cover the period from August 1996 to May 1998 with hourly outputs of sealevel, surface temperature, surface salinity, surface currents, depth-averaged currents, and bottom friction velocity, as well as 5 day outputs of the full 3-dimensional fields of temperature, salinity, and velocity.本数据集包含美国国家气象局（National Weather Service, NWS）基于名为MECO的三维非线性水动力模型所构建的环流模型的模拟输出结果。该模型覆盖皮尔巴拉海岸（宁加卢至黑德兰港）海域，水平分辨率约为5千米；垂直分辨率从表层附近的3米随深度递增，在1000米以深海域最大可达200米。模拟输出的时间跨度为1996年8月至1998年5月，其中包含逐小时输出的海平面、表层水温、表层盐度、表层海流、垂向平均海流及底摩擦流速数据；同时还包含每5日输出一次的全三维温度场、盐度场及流速场数据。
