The concurrent simulation of ocean circulations and ocean tides is carried out with the Max-Planck Institute Ocean Model (MPIOM/TP6M L40 mpiom-1.6.3.) forced by the full luni-solar tidal potential as an additional body force and by the surface fluxes of momentum, heat and freshwater derived the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis for the period 1981-2012. A tripolar grid with a horizontal resolution of about 0.1 degrees is used. There are total 40 vertical levels in z-coordinates. More details can be find in Li and von Storch (2020).
The file name of the data sets is composed as follows.
STORMTIDE2_TP6ML40_<variable_acronym>_3d_1hr_<date>_<run>.nc
There are five 3-dimensional hourly variables: sea_water_potential_temperature (tho), sea_water_salinity (sao), sea_water_x_velocity (u), sea_water_y_velocity (v) and upward_sea_water_velocity (w), for January, April, July and October of 2012.
2012 is the last year of the simulation. Storing four months hourly was doable at the time when the simulation is produced. One run is provided.
