The regional MOM5 will have a fully eddy-resolving horizontal resolution of 0.1° in the GOM region from 10°N to 30°N and from 100°W to 70°W, decreasing linearly to 0.25° in the rest of the model domain. The regional MOM5 has 25 vertical z-coordinates, and is driven by the surface forcing fields obtained from CMIP5 dataset under the historical, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios. The initial and boundary conditions are obtained from CMIP5. The ocean boundaries at 65°N and 20°S will be treated as closed, but are outfitted with about 5° of buffer zones in which the temperature and salinity will be linearly relaxed toward the corresponding fields obtained CMIP5 dataset. The sea surface salinity (SSS) of the model are also relaxed toward CMIP5 dataset. Two additional buffer zones will be located in the northwestern corner over the Labrador Sea, and in the Gulf of Cadiz (representing the Mediterranean Sea). The restoring time scale for the northern and southern boundaries will vary linearly from 25 days at the inner edge to 5 days at the walls. The timescale for the Labrador Sea region will be 25 days and, for the Mediterranean Sea, 365 days. The MOM4 model simulations are initialized from CMIP5 model simulations and are continuously run from 1900 to 2100. The available variables include temperature, salinity, sea surface height, current vectors, etc. Purpose: To create high resolution predictions of the oceanographic environment under climate change conditions, through to 2100 Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 19000101 Ending_Date: 21001231 Currentness_Reference: observed Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: irregular Spatial_Domain: Description_of_Geographic_Extent: Northern central Atlantic Ocean Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -100 East_Bounding_Coordinate: 20 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 65 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 20 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: NCEI Geoportal Filter Theme_Keyword: CoRIS_Metadata Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere Theme_Keyword: 004 Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: Geographic Information > Climate Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Temperature > Water Temperature Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Salinity/Density > Salinity Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Circulation > Ocean Currents Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: downscaled climate model Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CRCP Project Theme_Keyword: Developing downscaled climate models for coral reef management into the 21st Century Theme_Keyword: 175 Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Atlantic Ocean Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Place Thesaurus Place_Keyword: OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: None Data_Set_Credit: Fisheries and the Environment (NOAA), Coral Reef Conservation Program (NOAA) Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: No formal attribute accuracy tests were conducted Logical_Consistency_Report: not applicable Completeness_Report: Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract.Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for addtional details.
