attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Green, Salish Sea, 3d Physics Fields, Monthly, v21-11 3d salinity, water temperature, and density field values averaged over 1 month intervals from SalishSeaCast NEMO model runs with physics, biology and chemistry. 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 January 2007 have a time value of 2007-01-16 12:00:00Z. Geo-location and depth data for the SalishSeaCast NEMO model grid are available in the ubcSSnBathymetryV21-08 dataset. v1: salinity (practical) and temperature variables v16-10: NEMO-3.6; ubcSSnBathymetry2V16-07 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details. Changed salinity variable to reference salinity. Changed temperature variable to conservative temperature. Added squared buoyancy frequency variable. v17-02: NEMO-3.6; ubcSSnBathymetryV17-02 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details. v18-06: NEMO-3.6 SalishSeaCast-201806 configuration; ubcSSnBathymetryV17-02 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details. Removed squared buoyancy frequency variable. 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. v21-11: NEMO-3.6 SalishSeaCast-202111 configuration; ubcSSnBathymetryV21-08 bathymetry; see infoUrl link for full details. Added sigma_theta potential density variable.
