Modelled Mean Summer Circulation and Conditions in Bute Inlet, British Columbia

Modelled Mean Summer Circulation and Conditions in Bute Inlet, British Columbia This dataset contains the outputs for Bute Inlet from two simulations shown in the publication "Fjord circulation permits persistent subsurface water mass in a long, deep mid-latitude inlet" by Laura Bianucci et al., DFO Ocean Sciences Division, Pacific Region (published in the journal Ocean Science in 2024). The Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM v4.1) was run with two different sets of initial conditions for the Discovery Islands region of British Columbia, Canada, from May 24 to June 27, 2019. The "Baseline" simulation used observed initial conditions, while the "Sensitivity" simulation removed the observed cold subsurface water mass from the initial profiles. Here in this dataset, we provide 29-day averages of the following variables in a transect along Bute Inlet: potential temperature, density, along-inlet velocity, and Brunt-Väisälä frequency (N^2). The averaging properly removes the tidal effects. 2024-09-05 Fisheries and Oceans Canada Laura.Bianucci@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentFVCOM ocean modelSalinitycurrentsBute InletDiscovery IslandsBritish ColumbiaOceansModellingTemperature Modelled mean summer circulation and conditions in Bute InletNetCDF https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/d4ef2982-1701-40c2-89a4-729714270573/attachments/Baseline_Sensitivity_model.zip Data DictionaryPDF https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/d4ef2982-1701-40c2-89a4-729714270573/attachments/Data_Dictionary_Bute_Inlet_EN_FR.pdf Multispecies Dive Pilot SurveysESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/Modelled_Mean_Summer_Circulation_and_Conditons_in_Bute_Inlet_British_Columbia/MapServer Multispecies Dive Pilot SurveysESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/Modelled_Mean_Summer_Circulation_and_Conditons_in_Bute_Inlet_British_Columbia/MapServer
