Tidal constituents for the Spitsbergen Bank, Barents Sea. 2018-2019

The project contributes to deeper understanding of physical processes in Arctic offshore and coastal zones and in determining physical environmental actions on structures and ships. Special focus of the project is on the regions of current and potential industrial development in Svalbard and North-West Barents Sea. Tidal sea level amplitudes and phases, and maximum velocity at the Spitsbergen Bank, Barents Sea are given for the four major constituents: M2, N2, K1, and O1. The computational domain spans 10 deg E to 30 deg E and 72.5 deg N to 77.5 deg N. The data resolution is .25 min along S-N and 1 min along E-W; thus, the space step is close to 460 meters. The above resolution sets 1200 computational grid points along both directions. The instructions for data extraction and a detailed description of the data are given in README file.本项目旨在深化对北极近海与沿岸海域物理过程的认知，并明确物理环境因素对海洋结构物及船舶的作用影响。本项目的重点研究区域为斯瓦尔巴（Svalbard）群岛与巴伦支海西北部当前及潜在的工业开发海域。本数据集提供了巴伦支海斯匹次卑尔根海隆（Spitsbergen Bank）处的潮汐海平面振幅、相位，以及四个主要潮汐分潮（M2、N2、K1与O1）对应的最大流速。计算区域覆盖东经10°至30°、北纬72.5°至77.5°的海域。数据分辨率为南北方向0.25角分、东西方向1角分，对应空间步长约460米；按上述分辨率，两个方向的计算网格点数均为1200个。数据提取方法与数据集详细说明详见README文件。
