ROMS outputs and configuration files

The Free and RODAS_SST experiments were conducted using the ROMS ocean model for the Southwest Atlantic at a 1/12° resolution. The Free experiment is a simulation without data assimilation, serving as a control for comparative analyses. In contrast, the RODAS_SST experiment incorporates daily Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data assimilation from the OSTIA product, simulating conditions closer to observations. Both experiments aim to evaluate the impact of data assimilation on regional oceanic dynamics, including variables such as SST, ocean currents, and sea surface height. The files cover the period of 2009-01-01 to 2012-12-31. This repository provides not only the model outputs but also the complete set of author-generated codes. This includes the specific ROMS configuration files (e.g., .in and .h header files) necessary to replicate the model setup and the data assimilation framework. Additionally, we have included the Python scripts used for post-processing the datasets, calculating error metrics, and generating the high-resolution figures presented in the associated manuscript.
