3-D water current, vertically averaged 2-D water current, 3-D salinity, 2-D water level collected from Numerical model (i.e., FVCOM) simulated current and salinity time series in Barataria Bay and adjacent Louisiana-Texas continental shelf from 20160822 to 20170831 (NCEI Accession 0300132)

Description

The Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM) was applied over the northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf that includes Barataria Basin to simulate three-dimensional circulation patterns driven by larger rivers and river diversion, tides, and winds. The numerical model mesh covers a much larger computational domain which extends longitudinally from Mobile Bay, Alabama to west of Galveston Bay, Texas and offshore to ~ 300m-1000 m isobaths over the Alabama-Mississippi-Louisiana-Texas continental shelf and slope. Simulated hydrodynamic variables include sea level elevation, u- and v-velocity component, salinity, and turbulence parameters. The FVCOM simulation period is from 22 August 2016 to 31 August 2017. Output file is in NETCDF (Network Common Data Form) format, which is a set of software libraries and self-describing, machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data. Output time interval is daily (at 00:00 GMT everyday).
