GLCFS POM Archive
contact: james.kessler@noaa.gov

These netcdfs use regular-spaced, structured grids, based on the Princeton Ocean Model (POM).  They run through 2020.
(This model predated the modern FVCOM based GLCFS)



file aggregation:
	 50-day blocks. 001-050, 051-100, 101-150, 151-200, 201-250, 251-300, 301-350, 351-365(6)

file format:

	LYYYYDDDHH.*.nc
	 where
		L = Lake id (s=superior, m=michigan, h=huon, e=erie, o=ontario, c=st. clair)
		YYYY = Year
		DDD = Day of year
		HH = Simulation hour.

	All times are in GMT.

	in1.nc files include forcing met data: at, cl, dp, air_u, air_v.  Hourly starting at simulation hour.

	out1.nc files include surface ouput: uc, vc, wvh, wvd, wvp, eg (plus ci, hi, ui, vi, utm, vtm for certain lakes
	and years).  Hourly starting at simulation hour plus 1.

	out3.nc files include 3-d output: t, u, v.  3-Hourly starting at simulation hour plus 3.



in1 = Input params: air_u, air_v, at, dp, cl, ap
	 where:
		air_u = Eastward Air Velocity (10m, m/s),
		air_v = Northward Air Velocity (10m, m/s),
		at = Air Temperature (2m, C),
		dp = Dew Point (2m, C),
		cl = Cloud cover (fraction, 0-1)

out1 = Output params surface: uc, vc, utm, vtm, wvh, wvd, wvp, eta, ci, hi, ui, vi
	 where:
		uc = Eastward Water Velocity at Surface (m/s),
		vc = Northward Water Velocity at Surface (m/s),
		utm = Depth-Averaged Eastward Water Velocity (m/s),
		vtm = Depth-Averaged Northward Water Velocity (m/s),
		wvh = Significant Wave Height (m)
		wvd = Wave Direction (Degrees; 0=toward N; 90=toward E),
		wvp = Wave Period (sec)
		eta = Surface Elevation Displacement above Flat Calm (m),
		ci = Ice concentration (fraction),
		hi = Ice thickness (m),
		ui = Ice u-velocity (m/s),
		vi = Ice v-velocity (m/s)

out3 = Output params 3-d: temp, u, v
	 where:
		temp = Temperature (C),
		u = Eastward Water Velocity (m/s),
		v = Northward Water Velocity (m/s)
