attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Green, Salish Sea, 2d Depth-averaged Tracer Fields, Seasonal, v17-02 2d depth-averaged salinity and water temperature field values averaged over 3 month seasonal intervals from Salish Sea NEMO model nowcast runs. 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 centre 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 variable values are averaged over the upper 22 layers of the model grid, approximately 0 to 30 metres depth. Geo-location and depth data for the Salish Sea NEMO model grid are available in the ubcSSnBathymetry2V17-02 dataset. v17-02: NEMO-3.6; ubcSSnBathymetryV17-02 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details: reference salinity and conservative temperature variables
