Bay of Plenty Climatology

<p>The Bay of Plenty Climatology is a daily&nbsp;climatology estimated from a 25+ years (1994-2020) high-resolution (~1 km horizontal resolution) hydrodynamic hindcast of&nbsp;Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.</p> <p>This repository contains&nbsp;12 files, corresponding to&nbsp;each month, with&nbsp;the 3D daily climatology for sea surface elevation,&nbsp;temperature, salinity, velocity (u, v) and in z-coordinates.&nbsp;</p> <p>For practicality the time units are referenced to hours since&nbsp;day 0 and the calendar used is a 366 day-year.&nbsp;</p> <p>For more information about available datasets please visit the project webpage at&nbsp;https://www.moanaproject.org/</p> <p>For the sigma coordinates version of the climatology please access the&nbsp;<a href="http://thredds.moanaproject.org:6443/thredds/catalog/moana/BoP_1km/catalog.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moana Project THREDDS server</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>A description of the configuration of the simulation is provided by Monta&ntilde;o M. M., Suanda S. H., de Souza J. M. A. C. (2023).
