Abstract/Summary

This dataset consists of outputs from a baroclinic hydrodynamic model for the North-West European Shelf. It contains simulation periods conducted over monthly time spans. These include: historic reanalysis periods: January 2017; June 2018 and climate projection periods: June 1992; January 1996; January 2050; June 2053; January 2090; June 2093. The outputs contain sea surface height, bottom and top temperature, bottom and top salinity, and seabed stress diagnostics, bottom and top current speed, as well as barotropic (depth integrated) velocities. The data are delivered on a regular grid at approximately 1.5km resolution, at an hourly frequency. The baroclinic hydrodnamic model is NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) and the North-West Shelf configuration is based on a rotated 1.5 km grid used for NORTHWESTSHELF_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_PHY_004_013. The reanalysis atmospheric forcing is given by the ECMWF ERA-5 Numerical Weather Prediction reanalysis. Future projections are forced by HadGEM3-GC3.05 PPE derived surface forcing and ocean lateral boundaries (Tinker et. al 2023). To reduce spin up time, the simulations are restarted from conditions base on the consistent AMM7 simulations interpolated to the AMM15 grid. The North Western boundary of the AMM15 grid, not covered by AMM7, is constructed by integrating a set of consistent AMM15 boundaries provided by the Met Office (not publicly available) and interpolating over the missing region. The outputs were generated under the ECOWind ACCELERATE project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under reference NE/X008886/1.
