Energetics of (super)tidal baroclinic modes in a realistically forced global ocean simulation [Software and Dataset]

This data set is based on a paper with the same title in JGR. The doi of the preprint is 10.22541/essoar.173939615.50210043/v1. This repository contains the time-mean and depth-integrated kinetic energy (KEs), available potential energy (APEs) and eastward (FXs) and northward (FYs) pressure fluxes for 5 vertical modes for a 4-km global HYCOM simulation (expt_19.0). The energy terms are computed for 5 frequency bands: (1) diurnal, D1, (2) semidiurnal, D2, (3) terdiurnal, D3, (4) quarerdiurnal, D4, and (5) higher harmonic, HH (2.15-12 cpd). The eigenspeeds (CEs) are also included for the 5 modes, as well as the HYCOM grid coordinates, water depth, grid angle (pangs), and sampled cell surface area (AAAs). To speed up the modal diagnostic calculations and minimize storage, the tripole grid is reduced from nx=9000 and ny=7055 to nxs=4500 and nys=3527 (every other grid cell is used; a fourfold reduction in number of points). The matlab codes that are used to make the paper's figures are in matlab_codes.tar. Addition Matlab functions that are called in these codes, can be found here: https://github.com/maartenbuijsman/matlab-funcs. The fortran codes that are used to process the raw model data on the US NAVY supercomputers are in fortran_codes.tar. The readme file that describes the matlab and fortran codes is readme_matlab_fortran_codes.pdf.
