Description
Summary:The Arctic 2 km Tide Model (Arc2kmTM) is a barotropic (depth-integrated) ocean tide model on a 2x2 kilometer (km) polar stereographic grid, developed using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). The present version of this model is based on dynamics only: there is no data assimilation or nudging to measurements. Arc2kmTM consists of spatial grids of complex amplitude coefficients for sea surface height and depth-integrated currents (“volume transports”) for 8 principal tidal constituents: 4 semidiurnal (M2, S2, K2, N2) and 4 diurnal (K1, O1, P1, Q1). See the Methods section for a description of model development. The Arc2kmTM gridded files are provided in both binary and NetCDF format and are designed to be used with the following open-source packages: the MATLAB “Tide Model Driver” (TMD) toolbox; the community Python-based pyTMD software; and the FORmula TRANslation (FORTRAN) “OSU Tidal Prediction Software” (OTPS). More information on these software packages is available in the model’s README file. ...
