Currents from the Northern Region Circulation Model

The Northern Region Circulation (MECO) Model was developed as part of the FRDC Surrogates 1 project. It covers the region from Joseph Bonaparte Gulf to Torres Strait with a fixed horizontal resolution of 0.05 degrees. Outputs included sea level, currents, bottom stress, and other physical parameters. For this dataset the monthly mean non tidal currents for the Northern Marine Region were used to create GIS map layers

北部区域环流（MECO）模型作为FRDC替代物1（FRDC Surrogates 1）项目的组成部分开发而成。该模型覆盖从约瑟夫·波拿巴湾（Joseph Bonaparte Gulf）至托雷斯海峡（Torres Strait）的海域，固定水平分辨率为0.05度。其输出包含海平面、海流、底应力及其他物理参数。本数据集采用北部海洋区域的非潮汐月均海流数据，用于生成地理信息系统（GIS）地图图层。
