This dataset includes regional subsets in the western Indonesian
region of output from a run of the Parallel Ocean Program (POP)
version 2, the ocean component of the Community Earth System Model
(CESM). The model was run with nominal 0.1-degree horizontal
resolution, and 62 vertical levels with 10 meter resolution above
160 meters and gradually increasing vertical spacing below this
level. The run was forced with Coordinated Ocean-Ice Reference
Experiments (CORE) Version 2 atmospheric reanalyses, derived from
NCEP reanalysis and remote sensing products. The model integration
was coupled to the Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE) version 4 using
Coupler 7 (CPL7) in the CESM framework. The data files encompass the
geographic range 85-130 E longitude, 15S-5N latitude, with all depth
levels included. 5-day averages of state variables, surface fluxes,
and advective fluxes of temperature and salinity are archived for
the years 1977-2009 (the first two years are considered a transition
period from climatological forcing). The high resolution and
multidecadal time span of the output make it ideal for studying
mesoscale eddies, coastal waves, and topography-constrained ocean
flows and their long-term variability.
