All the files in this directory that start with "anim" and end with "gif" are animations of different quantities from the circulation model. Each frame of the animation is an average over one model day and the animations cover the period 12/1/2008 through 2/28/2009 (so, over one Antarctic summer). Most of the top views are for an area about 130 km by 130 km over Palmer Deep. The cross sections (60 km) are through Palmer Deep and can be seen in the bathy.section.png figure. There are three speeds for each animation designated by either "d7", "d10", and "d20". d7 is the fastest animation and d20 is the slowest. The animations (in order listed) are: anim.cdwl4.d10.gif, anim.cdwl4.d20.gif, anim.cdwl4.d7.gif: - Model layer 4 Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) dye anim.cdwl4.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.cdwl4.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.cdwl4big.d10.gif, anim.cdwl4big.d20.gif, anim.cdwl4big.d7.gif: - Model layer 4 Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) dye over a larger area (so you can see the pathway of CDW from the shelf break) anim.cdwl4big.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.cdwl4big.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.s100m.d10.gif, anim.s100m.d20.gif, anim.s100m.d7.gif - Salinity at 100 m anim.s100m.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.s100m.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.scross.d10.gif, anim.scross.d20.gif, anim.scross.d7.gif - Cross section through Palmer Deep of salinity anim.scross.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.scross.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.ssh.d10.gif, anim.ssh.d20.gif, anim.ssh.d7.gif - Model sea surface height anim.ssh.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.ssh.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.sss.d10.gif, anim.sss.d20.gif, anim.sss.d7.gif - Model sea surface salinity anim.sss.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.sss.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.sst.d10.gif, anim.sst.d20.gif, anim.sst.d7.gif - Model sea surface temperature anim.sst.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.sst.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.t100m.d10.gif, anim.t100m.d20.gif, anim.t100m.d7.gif - Temperature at 100 m anim.t100m.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.t100.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.tcross.d10.gif, anim.tcross.d20.gif, anim.tcross.d7.gif - Cross section through Palmer Deep of temperature anim.tcross.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.tcross.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.tcross.long.d10.gif, anim.tcross.long.d20.gif, anim.tcross.long.d7.gif - Cross section through Palmer Deep of temperature, but instead of just 90 days over the summer, this animation is 240 days and goes from summer (start of December) though fall into Antarctic winter (end of July) anim.vector.100m.d10.gif, anim.vector.100m.d20.gif, anim.vector.100m.d7.gif - Vectors of model velocity at 100 m anim.vector.100m.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.vector.100m.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title anim.vector.20m.d10.gif, anim.vector.20m.d20.gif, anim.vector.20m.d7.gif - Vectors of model velocity at 20 m anim.vector.20m.d20.new.gif - Same as anim.vector.20m.d20.gif above, but with the date instead of model day in the title Some notes on the animations are available in the PowerPoint presentation about the model (wap.model.pptx) in this directory.
