Short NameSMODE_L4_NCOM_V1
DescriptionThis dataset contains model output from the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) run during the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) field campaign. 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. NCOM model output consists of daily files during the deployment dates of the pilot campaign in Fall 2021, IOP1 in Fall 2022, and IOP2 in Spring 2023. Data consists of ocean variables such as salinity, sea water temperature, water depth, and surface wind stress, and are available in netCDF format.
