Description

This dataset provides ancillary data for the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) model runs, and is intended for expert users. S-MODE aims to understand how ocean dynamics acting on short spatial scales influence the vertical exchange of physical and biological variables in the ocean. The ancillary data include files required to initialize the model, forcing fields, grid files, and configuration files. ROMS ancillary files are provided in NetCDF format.
