| Description | |
| Summary | This dataset contains 18 velocity microstructure datasets collected between 1995 and 2013, as well as output from the Atlantic Margin Model 1/60 (AMM60) numerical model using NEMO software. Model data include: temperature and salinity output, model bathymetry, tidal velocity data, and tidal conversion term details. Velocity microstructure datasets contain the parameters: turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, temperature, water depth, and time. The model was generated as part of Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Discovery Science project "Pycnocline Mixing in Shelf Seas (PycnMix)" lead grant reference NE/L003325/1 with child grants NE/L0036001/ and NE/L003287/1, by scientists at Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), National Oceanography Centre (NOC), and Bangor University School of Ocean Sciences. |
