Australia Ocean 3D Bluelink Forecast Data Sample

Brief description

This is a three-dimensional forecast of ocean state from the sea surface to the deep ocean. The OceanMAPS model is a Bureau of Meteorology operational global ocean forecast system with 0.1 degree horizontal resolution and variable vertical resolution. This model was build with the support of the Bluelink research partnership.\r\n\r\nThis dataset captures a one-year period and is provided to support anyone wanting to better understand the model or how to work with this data. \r\n \r\nLICENCE: The dataset referred to in this metadata record is available/ licenced under the “CC-BY-NC 3.0 au” license.
