Description

This directory contains simulation data used in manuscript
"Generation and intensification of mesoscale anticyclones by orographic wind jets: the case of Ierapetra Eddies forced by the Etesians" submitted to jGR Oceans.

Data are intended for the reviewers and may be updated until the review process is complete.

Each simulation is stored in netCDF format with the following variables
sim_init
    physical parameters:
        Rd    (m)        ~ Radius of deformation
        Ho    (m)        ~ unperturbed layer thickness
        Iox   (N/m^2)  ~ wind stress intensity in x
        Ioy   (N/m^2)  ~ wind stress intensity in y tau_o
        W     (m)         ~ wind forcing Width
        L     (m)          ~ wind forcing Extend
        gstar (m/s^2)  ~ reduced gravity
        T     (s)           ~ timestep duration
        Fd1   (days)   ~ day of maximum forcing f(t) = FA1*np.exp(-0.5*((t-Fd1)/Fw1)**2))
        Fw1   (days)   ~ To characteristic forcing duration
domain:
    Numerical parameters:
        Lx      (m)     ~ domain size in x
        Ly      (m)     ~ domain size in y
        Nx      (m)     ~ number of points in x
        Ny      (m)     ~ number of points in y
        dx      (m)     ~ resolution in x
        dy      (m)     ~ resolution in y

eddy init:
    Eddy initialisation:
        type                 ~ eddy type -1(1) for anticyclone (cyclone)
        Ro                   ~ eddy Rossby vortex number
        Rmax    (m)     ~ eddy characteristic radius

        xik    ~ x grid
        yik    ~ y grid
        hik    ~ layer thickness
        ujk    ~ velocity component in x
        vil    ~ velocity component in y
        zjl    ~ vorticity field
