ETAS: Eastern Tasmania Ocean Model Hourly Timeseries, 1993-2014

1993-2014 hourly timeseries from a high-resolution ocean model for eastern Tasmania. The model provides three-dimensional estimates of temperature, salinity, and circulation. This dataset includes hourly temperature, salinity, sea level, and eastward/northward currents at selected locations.

Use Cases

• Validate regional ocean circulation models based on the provided hourly current velocity data.
• Analyze long-term temperature and salinity trends in coastal waters based on the 1993-2014 timeseries.
• Study coastal sea level variability based on the hourly sea level data.
• Initialize or force higher-resolution coastal models based on the model's three-dimensional estimates.

Strengths

• Covers a 22-year period from 1993 to 2014.
• Provides high-resolution model output with approximately 2 km horizontal resolution.
• Includes multiple physical oceanographic variables: temperature, salinity, sea level, and currents.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific model domain of eastern Tasmania.
