Datasets#

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.

Data Access Registry#
Product_Name	Access_Type	Submodule	Function_Name	Description
GLORYS	PYTHON	glorys	get_glorys_data_from_cds_api	Python request with copernicusmarine api
GLORYS	PYTHON	glorys	get_glorys_data_from_rda	Gathers GLORYS data from RDA on computers with access to glade/rda
GLORYS	SCRIPT	glorys	get_glorys_data_script_for_cli	Generates bash script for direct CLI run with the copernicusmarine package
SEAWIFS	SCRIPT	seawifs	get_global_seawifs_script_for_cli	Generates bash script for direct CLI access to chlorophyll data (No Package Required)
GEBCO	PYTHON	gebco	get_gebco_data_with_python	Python request for global bathymetry data
GEBCO	SCRIPT	gebco	get_gebco_data_script	get script to download global bathymetry data

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.
