Brief description
The dataset comprises output from a circulation model of the NWS based on the three-dimensional non-linear hydrodynamic model referred to as MECO. The model spans the Pilbara coast (Ningaloo to Port Hedland) with a horizontal resolution of approximately 5km and vertical resolution expanding from 3 m near the surface to a maximum of 200m at depths below 1000m. Outputs cover the period from August 1996 to May 1998 with hourly outputs of sealevel, surface temperature, surface salinity, surface currents, depth-averaged currents, and bottom friction velocity, as well as 5 day outputs of the full 3-dimensional fields of temperature, salinity, and velocity.Lineage
