1-km ROMS Model Output for Drake Passage and Scotia Sea (November–December 2017)

Abstract

Model output with 1-km, 3-hr resolution, and 50 sigma layers was produced using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS, https://www.myroms.org/), a free-surface, hydrostatic, primitive equation model (Shchepetkin and McWilliams, 2005). 10-day runs covering 12-November-2017 through 29-December-2017 were initialized using 1/12º resolution Operational Mercator. Flux forcing was computed with turbulent fluxes from bulk formulae (Fairall et al., 1996; Large and Pond, 1981) using the atmospheric state obtained from JRA-55 (Tsujino et al., 2018). The model is described in Ferris et al. (2024b) and is provided courtesy of Harper Simmons.
