Ocean Currents from eddy-resolving model simulations

This data set includes the model data used in the paper by Barnier et al. (2020) "Modelling the impact of flow-driven turbine power plants on great wind-driven ocean currents and the assessment of their energy potential" to appear in Nature Energy in 2020. It contains the ocean currents produced by eddy-resolving model simulations in the regions of the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio. Two one year long simulations are available. A Control simulation, and a Turbine simulation. In the Turbine simulation, virtual large turbine power plants (TPPs) are implemented at given locations.The effects of the TPPs on the flow is performed in the study of Barnier et al. (2020)  by comparing the Control and the Turbine simulations.
