Particle trajectories in the Weddell and Bellingshausen seas

This dataset includes the results of Lagrangian particle tracking experiments with Parsels model in the Weddell Sea. Virtual particles were released every 8 hours during a year at 10 m below the surface with the spatial step of 1° of the longitude-latitude grid on the Weddell Sea shelf, where the ocean is shallower than 1500 m. 3D hydrodynamic fields for the model forcing were taken from the WAOM model simulation results (u,v,w,T,S). The following information for each particle is stored once every 5 days: longitude (lon in files), latitude (lat), time (time), depth (z), temperature (temp), salinity (sal), ice draft (ice), travelled distance (distance), ocean depth (dep). All particles’ trajectories are divided by release time between six *.zip archives. Each *.zip archive contains results in NetCDF format for 20 years of simulations and can be considered as an independent data set with 1/6 of the total number of released particles.本数据集包含威德尔海（Weddell Sea）采用Parsels模型（Parsels model）开展的拉格朗日粒子追踪实验结果。实验期间，每年内每8小时即在威德尔海陆架（水深小于1500米的海域）海面下10米处释放虚拟粒子，释放位置采用空间分辨率为1°的经纬度网格布设。模型强迫所需的三维水动力场（包含流速分量u、v、w，温度T与盐度S）取自WAOM模型的模拟结果。 每个虚拟粒子的下述参数每5天存储一次：经度（文件中记为lon）、纬度（lat）、时间（time）、水深（z）、温度（temp）、盐度（sal）、冰吃水（ice）、移动距离（distance）以及海洋水深（dep）。 所有粒子的轨迹按释放时间划分为6个*.zip压缩包。每个压缩包均包含20年模拟时长的NetCDF格式结果，可视为包含总释放粒子数1/6的独立数据集。
