Biogeochemical Model of the Mississippi Sound and Bight, from March 17 to April 18, 2016

Model output of circulation, water mass and dynamical properties (currents, temperature, salinity, and sea level) for the Mississippi Bight and Mississippi Sound region of the northern Gulf of Mexico. The model application is newly developed as part of the GOMRI-funded CONCORDE consortium and has been configured with 400 m spatial resolution and 24 vertical layers. Surface atmospheric forcing is from a 1 km hourly product that resolves the diurnal sea breeze, which was also developed as part of the CONCORDE consortium’s modeling component (the CONCORDE Meteorological Analysis - CMA). Observed freshwater input derived from available tide gauge stations are applied as rivering forcing, and the Naval Research Laboratory-Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NRL-NCOM) output at 1km was used as outer boundary condition forcing. The model output provided in this dataset provides hourly resolution of physical parameters (currents, temperature, salinity, water levels) for the time frame around the Spring 2016 sampling campaign of the CONCORDE observational teams (March 17 to April 18, 2016).墨西哥湾北部密西西比湾与密西西比海峡区域的环流、水团及动力特性（海流、温度、盐度与海平面）数值模式输出结果。本数据集所依托的数值模式由GOMRI资助的CONCORDE联合研究项目全新开发，空间分辨率设为400米，共包含24层垂直分层。地表大气强迫数据来自分辨率为1千米的逐小时产品，该产品可解析昼夜海陆风循环，同样由CONCORDE联合研究项目的模拟组分——CONCORDE气象分析系统（CMA）开发完成。径流强迫采用基于现有验潮站观测得到的淡水输入量，外边界强迫条件则采用分辨率为1千米的美国海军研究实验室-海军近岸海洋模式（Naval Research Laboratory-Navy Coastal Ocean Model, NRL-NCOM）的输出结果。本数据集提供的模式输出结果，覆盖了CONCORDE观测团队2016年春季采样任务（2016年3月17日至4月18日）前后时段内，各物理参数（海流、温度、盐度、水位）的逐小时分辨率数据。
