The table below contains links to 42 day-long re-analysis ocean fields (computed in May 2013) estimated for the 2006 AWACS-SW06 exercise in the Middle Atlantic Bight Region. The re-analysis fields are the output of a nested, data-assimilative dynamical model simulation carried out using our MSEAS system for the time period 14 August - 25 September, 2006. Note: There are two type of output files for each model domain, with different orientations for the velocity components: Along Grid the velocities are oriented along the grids. i.e. "Zonal" (U) components are at 60 degrees counter-clockwise from East, approximately along-shore; while "Meridional" (V) components are at 60 degrees counter-clockwise from North, approximately across-shelf. Geographic the velocities are expressed as true zonal and meridional components.

To extract data from these files in Matlab, we have these tools.

To plot data from these files in Matlab, we have these tools.

The file names are interpreted as follows:

                                            output

where the velocity orientation is:

"Geographic" if _geo is present in the file name

"Along Grid" otherwise
