This dataset contains data from ROMS simulations near the U.S. West Coast with realistic atmospheric forcing, tidal forcing and remote internal wave forcing. FS800b has remote internal wave forcing while FS800a does not have remote internal wave forcing at the open boundaries. The ROMS simulations have 4-km horizontal resolution and 60 sigma-layers. All data is along the local x- and y- axis of the rotated C-grid. Data is stored in netcdf format. We also include the altimeter dataset (see Buijsman et al., 2020; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2020.101656) used in validating the semidiurnal internal tides.

(3) Near-inertial wave energetics modulated by background flows in a global model simulation

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5765439

This data set contains Near-Inertial modal and undecomposed baroclinic energy terms from a forward global HYCOM simulation (EXPT 19.2) with realistic atmospheric forcing. This is a 4-km simulation with 41 layers. All data is on the native tri-polar grid. Data is stored as netcdf4 classic. The 2D data sets are 7055 x 9000 (lat x lon).

(2) M2 internal tide modal energy terms from a global HYCOM simulation

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6643378

This data set contains M2 modal energy terms from a forward global HYCOM simulation (22.1) with realistic tide and atmospheric forcing as discussed in https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2020.101656

This is a 4-km simulation with 41 layers. All data is on the native tripole grid. Data is stored as netcdf4 classic. The 2D data sets are 7055 x 9000 (lat x lon).

The data set contains

The time-mean and depth-integrated M2 mode 1-5 energy terms: x (eastward) and y (northward) fluxes, KE, APE, conversion, flux divergence, and the intermodal energy conversion (topographic mode coupling) term. The terms are computed for a two-week time series starting on GMT 01-Sep-2016 01:00:00. For details see the paper.
