Description

This dataset contains daily output from two numerical simulations in the North Pacific domain, using the 0.1 degree Parallel Ocean Program (POP) model in the Community Climate System Model 4 framework. The atmospheric forcing in the first simulation is taken from a 0.6 degree resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) simulation, and the forcing in the second simulation is the low-pass filtered forcing used in the first experiment. Therefore, these two simulations would be valuable for potential studies evaluating the role of mesoscale atmospheric forcing on the physical state of the ocean (e.g. circulation, sea surface height and mixed layer conditions).
