Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model Output
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
This archive has three distinct Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) outputs.
Description
The output grids are for isopycnal layers, at one-twelfth degree spatial and three-day temporal resolution. Water temperature, salinity, and velocity components are the primary output variables.
The model domain is the Atlantic Ocean from 65-70N to 28S latitude and in two cases includes the Mediterranean Sea. The three cases are briefly outlined below and differ primarily in the atmospheric forcing that is used.
