The dataset consists of temperature, salinity and sea surface height data generated from a 40 year run of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory Coastal Ocean Modelling System (POLCOMS) numerical model. The dataset consists of 41 data files in Climate and Forecast (CF) compliant NetCDF format. The data are supplied as a gridded dataset covering the entire northwest European continental shelf and extending out into the Atlantic Ocean. The grid resolution varies from 7.8 km to 14.2 km along the longitudinal axis and is at 12.3 km on the latitudinal axis. The model contains 40 depth layers. The model run was from 01 January 1964 to 31 December 2004 and the generated data were averaged over a 25 hour tidal cycle to create daily mean values. The data were generated from the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory Coastal Ocean Modelling System (POLCOMS) numerical model. The model simulations were run on the HECTOR supercomputer managed by the University of Edinburgh. The dataset was generated to look at multi-decadal variability and trends in temperature of the northwest European continental shelf. The data were generated by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) Liverpool as part of Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) National Capability (NC) funding.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Hydrodynamic modelling of potential temperature, salinity and sea surface height was undertaken throughout the Atlantic margin of the north-west European shelf by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Liverpool (formerly the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL)). The model simulations were part of NERC National Capability research looking at multi-decadal trends and variability in temperature over the north-west European continental shelf, for 40 years from 1964 to 2004. Detailed information about the model simulations is available at https://www.bodc.ac.uk/data/documents/nodb/316641/. The data were provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for archive. No quality control or assessments of the data have been undertaken by BODC; data have been stored as supplied by the data originator. Instrument(s) used to collect data: Ocean models. |
