Larval dispersal histogram data for ATLAS deliverable D1.6 "Biologically realistic Lagrangian connectivity" (https://www.eu-atlas.org/resources/atlas-partners-document-area/atlas-deliverables/455-d1-6-biologically-realistic-lagrangian-connectivity/file). Tar archive files are ordered by ATLAS case study source region and with folders by larval behaviour type. The numbered behaviour types are described in deliverable D1.6. Each netcdf histogram file, e.g. hists_age_21.nc, contains the histogram for larvae of a single age in 5-day steps, from 00 (0 days) to 37 (185 days). Within each file histogram file, particle counts in each Viking20 model grid-cell are contained in a 4-d array with dimensions (launch month, lauch year, model gridsquare y index, model gridsquare x index). The Viking20 grid in the North Atlantic is the ORCA tripolar grid. Details of the model mesh are in the included file viking20_mesh_mask.tgz Histograms are in netcdf files: ============================ $ ncdump -h hists_age_00.nc netcdf hists_age_00 { dimensions: coordinate = 4 coordinate_1 = 50 coordinate_2 = 1719 coordinate_3 = 1784 variables: int64 coordinate(coordinate) coordinate:units = "month" coordinate:long_name = "Launch month" int64 coordinate_1(coordinate_1) coordinate_1:units = "year" coordinate_1:long_name = "Launch year" int64 coordinate_2(coordinate_2) coordinate_2:units = "index" coordinate_2:long_name = "J index" int64 coordinate_3(coordinate_3) coordinate_3:units = "index" coordinate_3:long_name = "I index" int64 data(coordinate, coordinate_1, coordinate_2, coordinate_3) data :long_name = "particle count" // global attributes: :Conventions = "CF-1.6" } ==========================================
