Caspian Sea currents, reconstructed in SZ-COMPAS OGCM, experiment #245

Data format: NetCDF 4 (zipped)

Data dimension: cm/s

Missing value (land cells value): -10000

Array dimensions: 299 x 589

Data grid: geographical, uniform
    longitude: 46.7625 - 54.2125
    latitude:  36.5092 - 47.2892
    grid step: ~ 2 km

Depths: 1 m, 7 m, 15 m
    Note: sigma-coordinate is used in the upper 30 m sea layer.
    depth =  1 m - 1st sigma-horizon: upper model grid horizon (surface currents);
    depth =  7 m - 4th sigma-horizon;
    depth = 15 m - 8th sigma-horizon;
    In sea cells with bottom depth greater than 30 m,
        the data values are defined at ~1 m, ~7 m and ~ 15 m of depth;
    In sea cells with bottom depth less than 30 m, the data values are 
        actually defined at depths, equal to ~3%, ~23% and 50% of real water column height.

Files:
    1. SZ-COMPAS_CaspianSea_exp.245_uv_at_<depth>_m.nc - instantaneous currents
          at <depth> meter horizon; period = 2003, time step is 4 hours, first 
          record time is 2003-01-01 04:00:00.0 GMT.

    2. SZ-COMPAS_CaspianSea_exp.245_uv_mm_at_<depth>_m.nc - currents at <depth> meter 
          horizon, averaged over a month (monthly mean currents) in 2003-2005; 
          12 vector fields per year, defined on the last day of a corresponding month.
