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 sea surface height time series at Nanaimo 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 ubcSSfNanaimoSSH10m.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Forecast, Nanaimo, Sea Surface Height, 10min Rolling daily forecast of sea surface height values averaged over 10 minute intervals from SalishSeaCast NEMO model runs with physics and biology. The values are calculated at the model grid point closest to the Nanaimo tide gauge station on the Vancouver Island side of the Strait of Georgia, near Nanaimo, 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 0:10 UTC 10 minute period on 2021-06-03 have a time value of 2021-06-03 00:05:00Z. 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 00:05:00 UTC 5 days prior to the most recently completed forecast run, and extends to 11:55:00 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 00:05:00 UTC to 2017-11-12 11:55:00 UTC. v17-02: sea surface height variable; NEMO-3.6; ubcSSnBathymetry2V17-02 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; ubcSSnBathymetryV17-02 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details. v19-05: NEMO-3.6 SalishSeaCast-201905 configuration; ubcSSnBathymetryV17-02 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details.
