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.
