HINDCAST_MODELS readme % S.H. Suanda, 10/01/2021, suandas@uncw.edu

This is a readme for the ISDE Modeling group hindcast model results
for the ONR Inner-Shelf DRI experiment (2015 - 2017). Files are saved
in MATLAB format (.mat). This folder
includes:

1) this readme
2) Representative atmospheric forcing time series for model runs
(/ATMO)
3) Hourly surface temperature and velocity from Y2000 simulations (/HSY2000)
4) Hourly surface temperature and velocity from Y2015 simulations (/HSY2015)
5) Hourly surface temperature and velocity from Y2017 simulations (/HSY2017)
6) Daily-averaged 4D temperature and velocity from Y2017 simulations (/DDY2017)
7) MATLAB functions to plot (/FUNCTIONS)



This is the start of our model-output archive for ISDE.
It includes the surface temperature and velocities from the following model years and nests:
Y2000: 200m
Y2015: 600m, 200m, 66m, 22m
Y2017: 600m, 200m, 40m

It also includes 4D daily-averaged files of depth-time resolved temperature, and horizontal velocities u,v:
Y2017: 600m, 200m, 40m

3 Example MATLAB functions to make quick plots of these data are also provided (see test_plots_ptsal.m):

animate_ptsalsim.m (Animates the sea surface T, u, v for a single ISDE simulation)
make_ptsaldeptime.m (Plots T, u, v depth-time plot at virtual mooring through 2017)
make_ptsaltrans.m (Plots T, u, v x-shore transect for chosen day during 2017)

Potential additions: SWAN runs, WWave coupled simulations
