Abstract

This archive has three distinct Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) outputs. 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. * MICOM.ICOADS * International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) mean wind forcing * Domain: 28S to 65N, 98W to 17E * 16 isopycnal layers * Six years of data * MICOM.ECMWF * ECMWF mean wind forcing * Domain 28S to 70N, 98W to 36E, includes the Mediterranean Sea * 20 isopycnal layers * Three years of data * MICOM.DAILY * ECMWF 6-hourly forcing (wind, surface radiation, air temperature and humidity) * Domain 28S to 70N, 98W to 36E, includes the Mediterranean Sea * 20 isopycnal layers * 1979-1986 Details about the model forcing, mixing parameterization, bottom topography, computational requirements, and browse graphics are available at the MICOM website [http://oceanmodeling.rsmas.miami.edu]
