Description

This dataset contains output data files for the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) model runs. 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. Model output is limited to the SMODE field campaign region and uses 1hr ERA5 atmospheric forcings. ROMS model output files are provided in NetCDF format. Users should note that these files are very large and are encouraged to do analysis in the cloud rather than downloading.
