attribute	NC_GLOBAL	comment	String	If you use this dataset in your research, please reference it with wording similar to the example below, and include citations of the publications below. Inclusion of the date(s) when you downloaded the dataset, and the dataset id help to ensure reproducibility of your work. Reference wording: Forecasted near-surface depth averaged water current component fields from the SalishSeaCast model (Soontiens et al, 2016; Soontiens and Allen, 2017) were downloaded from their ERDDAP server (https://salishsea.eos.ubc.ca/erddap/) on DATE from dataset ubcSSfDepthAvgdCurrents1h.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Forecast, Salish Sea, Near-surface Depth Averaged Currents, 1h Rolling daily forecast of eastward and northward water current component field values averaged over 1 hour intervals for the upper 5 and 10 metres of depth from SalishSeaCast NEMO model runs with physics and biology. The values are calculated for the entire model grid that includes the Juan de Fuca Strait, the Strait of Georgia, Puget Sound, and Johnstone Strait on the coasts of Washington State and British Columbia. The time values are UTC. They are the centres of the intervals over which the calculated model results are averaged; e.g. the field average values for the 00:00 to 01:00 UTC hour on 2021-06-03 have a time value of 2021-06-03 00:30:00Z. The velocity component values are averaged over the upper 5 and 10 metre depths. Geo-location and depth data for the SalishSeaCast NEMO model grid are available in the ubcSSnBathymetry2V17-02 dataset. This dataset is updated daily to move it forward 1 day in time. It starts at 00:00:00 UTC 5 days prior to the most recently completed forecast run, and extends to 11:30:00 UTC on the 2nd day after the forecast run date. So, for example, after completion of the 10-Nov-2017 forecast run, this dataset included data from 2017-11-05 00:00:00 UTC to 2017-11-12 11:30:00 UTC. v17-02: VelEast10, VelEast5, VelNorth10, VelNorth5 variables; NEMO-3.6; ubcSSnBathymetryV17-02 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details. v18-06: NEMO-3.6 SalishSeaCast-201806 configuration; ubcSSnBathymetry2V17-02 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details. v18-12: NEMO-3.6 SalishSeaCast-201812 configuration; ubcSSnBathymetry2V17-02 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details. v19-05: NEMO-3.6 SalishSeaCast-201905 configuration; ubcSSnBathymetryV17-02 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details.
