The dataset has been constructed to enable partners to run the NOMADS simulations for the period 1 November 1998 to 31 October 1989. It contains the following data:
Gridded bathymetry, 1/12deg latitude by 1/8deg longitude
Ten tidal constants around the shelf break
Gridded meteorological data at 3-hourly intervals (approx. 75km resolution) -
Daily estimates of cloud cover derived from AVHRR imagery
Annual mean discharge of 43 rivers.
Thirty tidal constants across north and south boundaries
Residual elevation and current at hourly intervals across the boundaries
Monthly discharges from 16 rivers
Initial conditions for Temperature and Salinity for March and August 1989.
The data is available via anonymous ftp, subject to owner conditions. Please contact the NOMADS co-ordinator for details (rp@pol.ac.uk).
