Accessing Raw Data

CrocoDash uses several datasets to setup the model. Data can be gathered directly from public datasources (including the CESM inputdata svn repository) or through helper functions in the CrocoDash data_access module. Users can check if datasets are accessible at this link.

Please see below for available datasets.

CrocoDash Data Access Module

CrocoDash has a data_access module for accessing various datasets. Please see below for a table of available methods.

Specific datasets can be chosen by adding arguments to the case.configure_forcings function. Check out the demo here.

Public (Raw) Data Access

Users can directly download data from the following public sources.

CESM Input Data Global Grid & Bathymetry

If users would prefer to subset a global grid, they can find one set of bathymetry and grid at the svn repo under the sub heading ‘tx1_12v1’

GEBCO Dataset

Users can find GEBCO data available publicly at https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/, through the GEBCO dashboard https://download.gebco.net/, or can access GEBCO through the CrocoDash data access module (To be developed).

GLORYS Dataset

Users can find GLORYS data available publicly at https://data.marine.copernicus.eu/product/GLOBAL_MULTIYEAR_PHY_001_030/description, through the GLORYS dashboard https://data.marine.copernicus.eu/product/GLOBAL_MULTIYEAR_PHY_001_030/download, or can access GLORYS through the CrocoDash data access module.

TPXO Tide Model Dataset

Users can request TPXO data available for non-commercial use at https://www.tpxo.net/global. The global data only needs to be gathered one time, and is not required to setup a regional case.
