Bottom Stress from the Northern Region Circulation Model

Updated: 2008-07-10

The Northern Region Circulation Model was developed as part of the FRDC Surrogates 1 project . It covers the region from Joseph Bonaparte Gulf to Torres Strait with a fixed horizontal resolution of 0.05 degrees. Outputs included sea level, currents, bottom stress, and other physical parameters. For this dataset the maximum current velocity (max u & V) were used to create GIS map layers
